pickFor a book written in 1951, this is modern-feeling and so relevant. I can‘t believe I haven‘t read this before now. So good and at times I couldn‘t put it down. What a sad world to live in. Gives me the same feeling of societal dread as Handmaid‘s Tale and 1984.
pickDamn. Heartbreaking and eerie and such a page turner. Really unique sci-fi style. Perf for Halloween and a wet fall in Seattle.
pickCharles is a very high end robot, made to be “the gentleman‘s gentle robot”, kind of a robot butler. He finds that he has murdered his master, but doesn‘t know why. He sends himself to Diagnostics to try to figure out why, and along the way finds that human society has collapsed and robots are somewhat aimlessly roaming what‘s left.
This is kind of a dystopian quest book, rather philosophical, and I really liked it. ⬇️
I just posted about*not* seeing Florence & the Machines, however I was extremely fortunate to attend a reading of Saunders the week he won the Booker for Lincoln etc. Saunders is the modern age Vonnegut, chronicling our #twilight with the attendant absurdity and humor it deserves. The tagged book, aside from featuring one of the more humorous and topical, titles in years is a good starting place & showcase of his absurdities/wonders.
pickAfter Seth dies, he wakes up in an unknown apocalyptic world trying to find out if it‘s all a story played out in his mind or real life.
