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 ...

Autonomous (5 points)

When reading this book, I saw a dystopian future centered around drugs. Yes I am not kidding around. The everyday person has to take prescription drugs. It is as if the drugs were a constant source and were overly used by everyone. The main drug is one that gets people addicted to work more. Really, that sounds so unhealthy. Now the reality about this book is that it tries to bring light in modern times. The main characters are named Jack, Paladin, and Elias. The book keeps alternating between Jack and Paladin/Elias. It’s main reason is to show the consequences of the characters actions. In fact, much of the book revolves around choices.

The world is full of dystopian elements. It has science fiction pieces and it takes place in the future. Most cyberpunk universes are far into the future, but they try to exp...

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,...
