Anmeldelser
Starfish (Rifters Trilogy) af Peter Watts
Suuuuper dark/bleak characters, otherwise the dopest underwater sci-fi horror out there.
Another one bites the dust.
About an hour into a 12 hour book.
Hard SF and I now know it is far from my reading interest.
I see books talked about and reviewed, often not researching too hard for fear of spoilers so I went into this excited and I leave it disappointed. Letting myself now read thru all the great reviews which support that it’s not for me. Back to the radio until I can borrow the next book.

Corinne2020 | 144 andre anmeldelser | May 22, 2024 | Interesting ideas about alien life that experiences the universe in a way far different than humans do. The author did a good job of depicting Rorschach in a terrifying way, while (by the end) explaining why it is the way it is. The human characters themselves also worked. Seeing the events of this book through Siri's eyes made sense, since he's supposed to just be an observer, but we still got to see some (admittedly sudden) change in his character.
The inclusion of vampires in this novel was quite strange. They were between humans & the aliens in terms of perception & cognition, so perhaps one could argue they can help us better understand the aliens. I'm not sure if we necessarily needed to throw vampires into this world to get that understanding, or if it could be done another way that would perhaps fit better with this apparently being hard sci-fi.… (mere)
