Fiction. Literature. Science Fiction. Humor (Fiction.) It’s been called the greatest novel ever written. Now, Tolstoy’s timeless saga of love and betrayal is transported to an awesomer version of 19th-century Russia. It is a world humming with high-powered groznium engines: where debutantes dance the 3D waltz in midair, mechanical wolves charge into battle alongside brave young soldiers, and robots—miraculous, beloved robots!—are the faithful companions of everyone who’s anyone. Restless to forge her own destiny in this fantastic modern life, the bold noblewoman Anna and her enigmatic Android Karenina abandon a loveless marriage to seize passion with the daring, handsome Count Vronsky. But when their scandalous affair gets mixed up with dangerous futuristic villainy, the ensuing chaos threatens to rip apart their lives, their families, and—just maybe—all of planet Earth.… (mehr)

Adult fiction; science fiction/classic lit mash-up. In Anna's words, "I want love, and I want robots, and both are gone. So, then, all is over." ( )

I think of Android Karenina's ideal audience in terms of Venn diagrams: that mysterious place where "fans of Anna Karenina" and "science fiction readers who love reading about machinery and robots" overlaps. Many of Winters's variations on Tolstoy's themes are very clever -- particularly his Karenin -- and Quirk did well to choose AK for a steampunk mash-up. Still, I thought the book dragged a bit, particularly in the middle.

I should admit that I think Anna Karenina drags a bit in places, too. I do thank Winters profusely for adjusting Levin: he annoyed me far less in Android Karenina than in Tolstoy's book. It was novelty rather than characters that kept this AK moving for me but, over all, despite not being a big fan of robots or sci fi, I found this AK moderately entertaining.

(Quirk Books provided me with a review copy of the book.) ( )

I liked it more than I liked Anna Karenina and Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters. It was definitely closer to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies in having a fresh twist. That being said there were still parts that were tough and that I had to reread to make sure I was understanding all the technical jargon correctly. I also wasn't altogether thrilled with the duplicate endings, it felt a little like cheating. ( )
