![]() ![]() As Jamie Mollart says in the acknowledgments, “somewhere at its heart, this noverl is about family.” ![]() The best message, however, is brought at the end, when you find out that, despite objective differences, the passing of time, the hostile environment, family and human relationships are the saviors of the day. There are some quirks and flaws in the story, which are not quite explained (unless there is space for a sequel or a prequel), such as what exactly happens in between the two storylines over which the books is narrated (as an example, who exactly is Rip Van, and how it came to rule this world or segment of the world?).Īlso, the fact that you are brought to sympathize with a terrorist in a “V for Vendetta” way, leave somehow a bad taste in the aftermath, although it is fiction only. Yet, I would recommend reading the book as it is in any case a nicely flowing science fiction novel. Unfortunately, I read it just right after “Brave new world”, and, considering the latter was written 80 years ago, it shows. – Spoiler alert! - book is another episode in the apocalyptic dystopia revival of these last years. ![]()
