I'm pretty new to the sci-fi genre but I have to say I enjoyed this book! It was humorous and well-paced. The only problem I had was keeping up with all of the Bobs. ( ) This book is funny and witty. It starts with a captivating thought experiment that will likely find its way in identity philosophy. I really enjoyed that part. Once you are past the mind blowing background and the adventure begins, the book gave me the same feeling as a video game that is open ended, after you beat the last boss. A lot of fun things to explore and do, but no real tension. So, besides the fun thought experiment, the book felt flat. I am not easily convinced by pop and sci-fi culture and references, the abuse of which I am sure explain the popular success of the book. The world building around the geopolitics is quite immature and would work for a joke, but it turns out the book relies on it for its main plot and it just gets annoying. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Bob Johansson has just sold his software company and is looking forward to a life of leisure. There are places to go, books to read, and movies to watch. So it's a little unfair when he gets himself killed crossing the street. Bob wakes up a century later to find that corpsicles have been declared to be without rights, and he is now the property of the state. He has been uploaded into computer hardware and is slated to be the controlling AI in an interstellar probe looking for habitable planets. The stakes are high: no less than the first claim to entire worlds. If he declines the honor, he'll be switched off, and they'll try again with someone else. If he accepts, he becomes a prime target. There are at least three other countries trying to get their own probes launched first, and they play dirty. The safest place for Bob is in space, heading away from Earth at top speed. Or so he thinks. Because the universe is full of nasties, and trespassers make them mad - very mad. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
