Lädt ... The Braintrust: A Harmony of Enemiesvon Marc Stiegler
Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.   ) octal | Jan 1, 2021 |  While the author plainly states his horror at the election of Trump, he skewers Dems as well. More libertarian in view than anything, with a strong does of pragmatic elitism. Plot holes abound. Even when things don’t go well for Dr Dash, they still are traveling in her chosen direction. The Director has Machiavellian abilities to predict and guide actions that seem overblown. There is a marked over-reliance on technology to save the future that seems to overlook the human contribution. And the piece sung in the corridor is “Simple Gifts”. Appalachian Spring is a much longer, less recognizable work that has “Simple Gifts” as a theme of the final movement. The bad guys are all stupid and greedy. The good guys are pure of heart and wise. I may KU the next book. The Candide-esque vibe was not to my liking. The main characters are almost MarySue.

How Do You Know a Politician is Lying? His Lips Are Moving!
The President for Life has the Brawn; the young woman he must kidnap has the BrainTrust. Game On!
Many years ago, the President for Life expelled all the foreign engineers from Silicon Valley, promising those jobs for Americans. But his lips were moving. Instead, the Valley companies moved their people to a fleet of cruise liners off the coast, giving birth to the BrainTrust.
Now Dash, a brilliant young foreign scientist, has come to research human rejuvenation. No one needs her experimental therapy more than the aged and dying President for Life. His Chief Advisor will stop at nothing to grab her for the Needs of the State.
Even if it means turning the BrainTrust into a radioactive wasteland.
The BrainTrust has no Army, no Navy, no Air Force. Their ships have neither weapons nor armor. Yet a key question remains: can a society that has earned the name BrainTrust ever be truly defenseless? Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
