Didn't really care for this. The tone straddles satire and realism, which made me very uncertain about how to feel about the novel's pack of oddball antihero characters. Maybe just Not My Thing.

Some smart stories that are worth reading. H P Lovecraft showing Stephen King the way, Mary Shelley a smart little story and H G Wells revealing a surprising side to his narrative.

There may be two good books in here, but somehow they didn't seem to come together for me. There is an opening and closing section relating one story, which is set on a spaceship in the far future, enveloping a middle section taking place in near-future America.

As the novel opens, the interstellar spacecraft Forward is de accelerating as it approaches a far distant planet. Its purpose is the exploration of the planet, which contains a mountain-like structure which extends into space and which could only have been built by sentient beings. The crew wants to learn the purpose of this structure--who built it and why?

There are two varieties of inhabitants of the spacecraft. In charge of the craft are 5 humanistic beings who live thousands of years, and who can control how the passing of time is perceived. They are named after Greek and Roman gods: Pan, Zeus, Dionysus etc. The remaining beings, much more numerous, are much smaller and have life spans of only 40 or so years. They are humanistic, but much, much smaller than than the gods, who refer to them as pygmies, or "pigs," and who serve as a food source for the gods.

After the brief opening on the spacecraft, we move to dystopian near-future America. An epidemic or chemical neuro-toxin has interfered with the memory function of large swathes of the population, and society is disintegrating. The more fortunate are able to have an "interface" with their phones--"a kind of colostomy bag for your long-term memories," as well as instant "google ability" for general knowledge. The government is spying on everyone, and extremely authoritarian. The focus is on a group of 5 teenagers, "The Famous Five," consisting of Otty, Pitt, Gomery, Kathry, and Allie. Together they have created a private communications network that the government wants and will stop at nothing to get. Otty and her friends soon find themselves in grave danger.

As I said, I never found the two parts came together, though my interest was maintained as I was reading each. I couldn't figure out how they meshed, so this was not a successful book for me.
