Snow Crash (6 points)

I have read a lot of cyberpunk books. However, Snow Chase had to be my favorite Cyberpunk book to read. It starts in the year 2021 in Los Angeles; a world economic collapse has happened over. From the economic collapse, Los Angeles has been separated from the rest of the United States Of America. In the dystopian future, big business is a major force in this universe. 

The character in Snow Chase works for the Mafia as a pizza delivery driver. It is almost as if the plot is complex. However, most of the Cyberpunk books you could read would be weird for those who hadn’t read before. When reading this book, technology is all over the place. I find that some of the characters are hackers, something very common in Cyberpunk universes.

Further, evaluation in the book explains that unemployment is rampant. I mean if a huge economic collapse happened, then no wonder it is so known. The city streets are shown with this kind of unemployment rate. I could tell that this is a Cyberpunk book because of the neon lights when the main character has to travel. As I kept on reading the main character had to fight a villainous hacker, a villain who wants to be an info-collapse.

Another reason why it is a Cyberpunk universe is because there is a virtual world that exists. It is called the metaverse. In that world that main character is a warrior prince. Similarly to ready player one, a virtual world is where people go be something they are not, fantasy characters. So as I have said before, technology is a major part of the book.

In conclusion, I thought this book is both creative and horrifying at the same time. The book is one that takes you not in the characters mind but as a part of the story. It is one of the few books that has major potential and shows it, quite clearly. If I have not already stated, this book is a book that I would like to read again. I want to read more because the book is so full of life.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (6 points)

After hearing through all 12 audiobooks, is what I think they are called. Any who I noticed a fantastic change of pace than just reading through a book. Instead a monologous reads this, as it is not a short story or book. No, it is something more or something greater than the sum of its parts. It is a radio show, yay.  Although that’s not to say I got bored after hearing the 8th audio reading because his voice was so boring, like really boring. So, this blog is not the average blog I do. This is a blog about hearing about another science fiction book, let’s begin. When hearing the dude speak, it was very profound. Almost like I was watching Citizen Kane or one Orson Welles' War of the World’s reads. Even though there are different versions of Guide to The galaxy, they all follow a guy named Arthur Dent. The plot follows the destruction of earth by aliens but don’t worry this one is different. As the plot thickens it turns out that the earth was a giant supercomputer, what. I know,

The Handmaid's Tale (5 points)

  The Handmaid’s Tale is a dystopian future as women are subjugated and are slaves in this universe. Many of the women are forced to reproduce children. People who disagree with the government are killed on the spot. When reading the setting and tone, it tells of a society where women are subjugated, like not allowed to read or write. In most dystopias futures, world is full of totalitarianism. An example is the book 1984. As I kept on reading the book by Marget Adwood, I realized the tone is very bleak and desolate. When the United States collapses, Gilead takes over as the government and it shows the dangers of this. The book is also a work of feminism, as it tries to explain what could happen if people are not given rights. The show and the book are very different. While the show takes place in modern day society. In the book, it takes place in the 1980’s. Although the same government and plot happens in the book. Handmaid’s tale has a world where newspapers and the press are censor
