Reviews and Comments
Love quirky, odd, queer stories 🏳️🌈 A dash of fantasy and a lot of sci-fi. My favorite genre combo is LGBTQIA+ speculative fiction. Not a big fan of crime and mysteries (unless they're really weird). 99% digital, ebooks and audio, loans and rentals. If you buy me a physical book and I like it, I will give it away when I'm done reading it.

Så er det endelig fredag og tid til min #fredagsbog!
Jeg er lige startet på "Too Like the Lightning" af Ada Palmer. Jeg ved helt ærligt ikke hvad jeg har kastet mig ud i, men vi er ude i en fjern utopisk fremtid med flyvende biler hvor verden har droppet nationale identiteter til fordel for syv selvvalgte "hives" med hver deres værdisæt.
Her findes "sensayers" som er spirituelle guides der er eksperter i alverdens religioner. Der er også et barn som kan bringe legetøj til live.
Min fredagsbog er denne gang en lydbog fra GraphicAudio, indspillet med et helt hold af indtalere og musik, lydeffekter, osv. Det er lidt skørt i starten, men nu synes jeg faktisk det er fedt. Lidt som en film i ørerne ;-)

Min #fredagsbog er The Terraformers af Annalee Newitz, som foregår "blot" 60,000 år ude i fremtiden, hvor Homo sapiens er ikke længere de eneste folk, takket været "The Great Bargain". Både dyr og transportmidler anses nu for værende personer af varierende intelligens med både følelser og tanker, som de kommunikerer i tale eller på skrift.
Vi følger et "Environmental Rescue Team" hvis job det er sørge for at økosystemer forbliver intakte i mens private interesser opkøber, udvikler og sælger planeter til højestbydende.
Historien foregår over omkring tusind år og selvom folk lever væsentligt længere end vi gør i dag, så skifter hovedpersonerne gennem bogens tre dele—fra Homo spp. til busser(!) og katte.
Spækket med interessante ideer og koncepter er Terraformers et vildt øko-sci-fi eventyr som i hvert fald har underholdt mig en del :)
