Well, this was a crazy ride! This books feels more like a short story collection of glimpses into different lives during and after a global pandemic and the climate crises. It's hopeful and morbid at the same time and even though I was pretty confused at some points, I liked how it all was woven together in the end. Often I wished to have a little more time with one of the chapters, and I definitely liked and felt some of them more than others, but all in all it was an interesting mix of characters and perspectives and ideas. I'm really impressed with Nagamatsu's creative ideas and writing abilities, each scene is full of crazy technology, real characters and some kind of questioning the human race. I feel like many of the chapters are realistic and could happen like this one day, even though I really don't hope so 😬 This is definitely a book that needs your full attention and not an easy read, but it's interesting and visionary and asks hard questions, so if you're into that, you might like it!
Ein wirklich tolles Buch, das mich immer wieder mit einem emotionalen gut punch erwischt hat. Wenn ich das abschließende Ganze betrachte sind einige Teile etwas zusammenhangslos, aber ich habe das Buch sehr genossen und es ist etwas total anderes und besonderes. Ich braucht etwas, was man gar nicht aus der Hand legen will und das ist es auf jeden Fall.
i loved every single word and i’m in total awe
Deprimierend aber unterhaltsam
Das Buch hat mich zu Beginn sehr mitgerissen, aber zur Mitte wurde Trauer/Verlust zu einem repetitivem und ehrlicherweise deprimierendem Element. Die einzelnen Geschichten waren sich in der Hinsicht recht ähnlich, was jedoch dienend war, waren die Verbindungen zwischen den einzelnen Beiträgen. Zum Ende hin nimmt die Erzählung nochmal an Fahrt auf und wird -Spoiler- auch deutlich positiver und lebensbejahender.
2.5/5 It wasn't bad, it just definitely wasn't for me, I had to force myself a lot to finish it and not DNF. The writing style and the story reminded me a bit of Ken Liu (in a good way lol), the last couple pages were really good, and the tension-building was fantastic, I do however think there wasn't enough lgtbq+ rep, and the pace was very very slow.
justice for snortorius
Based on the beginning of the novel, I didn't think I would enjoy this, but holy shit. This was so good! This was a really heavy read, so beware.
