Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1385963.html it is very good; I like Beckett's writing for the same reason I like Brian Aldiss, that very English way of looking askance at the world as it is and as it could be. Particular gems here include the fading provincial horrors of 'Monsters', 'Karel's Prayer' which is a Philip K. Dick piece for our times, and 'The Marriage of Sky and Sea' whose unpleasant protagonist gets exactly what he asks for. There's also a flattering introduction by Alastair Reynolds. Well worth hunting down. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

These 14 stories contain, among other things, robots, alien planets, genetic manipulation and virtual reality, but their centre focuses on individuals rather than technology, and how they deal with love and loneliness, authenticity, reality and what it really means to be human.

A perceptive start, though, but it did not tempt me to read the author's other work. ( )
