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...

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,...

Oryx and Crake (6 points)

When reading another one of Margert Atwood, I noticed that her books relate a lot to natural disasters. It seems to look like that she focuses on not just gender as a topic, but the environment. Her books show that the environment should be taken care of. In this book, it takes place after a post-apocalyptic event that happens, although there are moments of the present day.  I was also interested in how the author describes the dangers behind corporate power. In this world, corporations re-configured where people should live. In fact, later on corporations become like gated communities, a universe that is surrounded by the dystopian world Atwood creates. Also, corporate greed is what causes an apocalyptic world to go in the future.  Interesting enough the book is also about the dangers of technology. Much of the technology that is described tells that the advancements lead to problems down the line. For example, the book involves transgenics, people who do not know I will exp...
