Summary of this Book... | ||
It's fifty years from tomorrow. A microscopic black hole has accidentally fallen into the Earth's core and the entire planet is in danger of being destroyed. | ||
This type of Book is good for... | ||
Anyone who is interested in the environment, politics in the future, and science fiction technology that is still basic and like what exists now. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
The different areas of the world, the characters, everything. It all flows together. Even the characters I didn't like turn out to be vital and important. And the world itself is used. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
My goal on day is to see this on the big screen. As a writing exercise in school, I played around with drafting a script. It is a story that needs to be seen and shared. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
David Brin has made predictions in this book that over twenty years later we are a society are only new catching up to. His views on the future of technology and the environment is beyond believable and is so real, I expect to one day wake up in the world he created. | ||
I recommend this Book because... | ||
It must be read. Not just the words but one must read between the lines. It can be a hard read if not used to science fiction and the hints of the planet being alive but its so worth it. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
I first read this book in 1993 and it is one of my favorites and top "standby" book when I quickly need to grab a read. I have worn out may copies of it and will continue to do so. Lastly the bonus epilogue after the afterword is a must read as well. I want to share more but I don't want to spoil anything. I set the book at 18+ because of it being a book with depth and parts are hard to follow. It has a strong ecological message that all can enjoy however. | ||
