Bloodchild (2 points)

  I was stunned when reading this. I was horrified by the events that happened in the book. For example, alien creatures that do not look normal. It felt like the short story was filled with terrifying moments like this one. I also was very conflicted about the themes related to the short story. Almost like I was dealing with the consequences that happened in the book, like how you make choices in an RPG video game. As well as being creeped out that males are impregnated with a baby.  A connection I was able to make with the book Handmaid's Tale. In that book, surrogate reproduction happens a lot because society has diminished in population; Bloodchild shows how an alien species cannot have children of their own. They help from the human species. The elements I was able to connections is with sex roles in the book. The main character has to carry an alien baby. I noticed that the author puts a feminist's role into the work.  In this short story, the author challenges the ...

A Song For A New Day (5 point)

  I find this story to be one of the most interesting takes on science. The ability to make concerts illegal is fascinating. It is a very similar thing to footloose. Also, there is some contrast between what is going now and in the book. The is that public gatherings are prohibited. Even though the book was written years before Covid-19, there is still a virus that takes it out there.  Also, the book talks about the times before and how it is hard to remember that. Okay, is it just me or did this book predict the future. What the heck? People nowadays do not remember the times before because things were better back then and the economy was better. Even the fact that online deliveries are in this book, is just more crazier. Today, more people use Uber eats or Doordash to get there if they cannot go to the supermarket. Also, there are drones that make the deliveries. It shows the no contactless order’s that people make today. I do not think that the author would have ever predic...

Altered Carbon 6 points

The book is an extremely cool one. The setting is one of the neon lights around the world Its universe is one where people are immortal, and a body is known as a sleeve. A person cannot die if the stack does not die, digitized consciousness. An idea of immortality shown throughout the book. It is one of a kind cyberpunk genre, as it tells an unbelievable story. The story of finding the mystery of the death of Mr.Bancrofts sleeve. It is a mystery written almost like reading dialogue and thoughts from Kovacs. Although, the story of his death is overly complex, creating an innovative conspiracy that takes. The conspiracy theory of why Mr. Bancroft's sleeve was killed and in turn discovers a horrific secret, under the new resolution to be passed. A new law that would allow victims to testify against religious organizations. The elements of the cyberpunk genre play out in the book. For instance, the book has futuristic flying cars in the book. The book also has A.I robots, explai...
