Qui sommes-nous ? Pourquoi sommes-nous là ? Où allons-nous ?
Ce n'est pas « Dessines-moi un mouton » et il n'y a pas de planète d'ivrogne, mais le concept est similaire. Un voyage à travers l'espace et le temps rempli de philosophie.
Edwin St. Andrew is eighteen years old when he crosses the Atlantic by steamship, exiled …
Fantastic to a point I did not expect. Very meta, and covers aspects that took me by surprise. I rarely read the descriptions of books written by authors that I have read before, and here it totally paid off. If you have read the previous two works by this author, you will like where this book takes you.
It's been centuries since the robots of Panga gained self-awareness and laid down their tools; …
Well-written. Funny. Cute, even. The characters are wonderful, and I am looking forward to their continuing adventures.
Termination Shock takes readers on a thrilling, chilling visit to our not-too-distant future – a …
Ever since Snow Crash, Stephenson has had me hooked. So, I can say only good things about this book. Great story, great characters, etc., etc.
I do feel that in a few years, we might (very strong might) find ourselves speaking about this book the same way we speak about the aforementioned work: as some sort of prophetic vision of the future and how we will come to deal with climate change.
I also have to say that the author sneaks in some current affairs. There are things mentioned that may require future readers to check Wikipedia, and there are a few nuanced opinions too.
I took off one star because I feel like the story wasn't quite ready to end and it all rapped up nest and tidy in the swiftest way possible.
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission--and if he fails, humanity …
I think this will be the book I recommend the most this year. It is entertaining from beginning to end. If you like sci-fi or space stories, read it. If you don't, read it anyway because you will laugh. It is very rare that I tear through a book in the span of a day, but, and I apologise for the cliché, I could not put this book down.
Digital minimalists are all around us. They're the calm, happy people who can hold long …
If I had finished this back when I started (2019) I would have lived it. Now, in 2021, a lot of what Newport talks about seems like common sense. Beyond the advice, the anecdotes of the digital minimalists that he encountered while preparing this book are à propos and well-chosen to highlight the underlying call to action: quit faffing around on your phone, stop with the constant Facebooking, put your phone down and do something else that keeps your hands busy or puts you in a social situation.
The Stormlight Archive saga continues in Rhythm of War, the eagerly awaited sequel to …
Unsurprisingly, this was excellent. I am happy that I took the time to digest this one instead of binging my way through it. Truly epic.
When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the …
Axiom's End is a 2020 science fiction novel by American writer Lindsay Ellis. Set in …
I liked the story but I really disliked the way it was written.
And now I guess I will have to read all the Wizard of Oz books.
