I finished that book I was posting about last week that was set in ingerland. I liked it a lot. it was a real page-turner. the author seems to mostly do comics and tv so I was thinking that probably influenced the pacing of this novel. the name is the book of koli by mike carey. he also wrote the girl with all the gifts, which they turned into a zombie movie I haven't seen

anyway book of koli was good. the postapocalypse language shift was done pretty well and wasn't annoying to read and koli was an engaging narrator. he wasn't afraid to be wrong which is a good trait in a main character. the story is told out of order at times or koli will start a chapter with "ok I didn't tell you this before but it'll make sense now" and I didn't mind that either bc I was totally bought into the fiction that this was a story he was telling

"what's it actually about?" you know this is tumblr we rec books based on vibes alone here. but this kid koli lives in a village in a land that used to be called "ingland" before some shit went down. they have a pre-industrial level of technology now except for a few pieces of tech that are futuristic to the reader but "ancient" to the characters. every villager gets their chance to try to awaken a piece of tech in their coming of age ceremony and the ones who successfully do it become the leaders of the village. all koli wants is to awaken some tech and be a cool guy and maybe his crush will love him back. spoilers it doesn't quite work out that way

also they're constantly being attacked by trees lmao. with the explanation being that around the time the apocalypse happened people were genetically engineering trees to grow super fast with very little water or nutrients from the soil needed and the trees rapidly evolved into carnivorous plants. I think mr carey just thought it would be funny if trees killed people

I was also pleasantly surprised by how many good female characters there were. the outright villainous characters were men but the tentative allies were all women. even the childhood friend crush was a pretty solid example of that kind of character and then there was this cool black doctor who was the most informed about the past world of anyone, the matriarch of the village who had more going on than she seemed, and of course the ipad ai monono aware. I ended up liking monono even though I wrote a post complaining about her and she was kind of cringe

overall a great addition to the postapocalyptic road trip genre bc it was normal about women and not excessively grim

Dossiers: The Cringe Archive

The Cringe Archive is an anonymous commentary and clip creator who popped up in December of 2023. They cover small community drama creators such as Koli/ASBAS and are also currently fighting with Mrs Roadhog.

It has been speculated by The Pigpen that TCA is actually a creator named Cursedeye on a sock-account, and one person believed they were actually Sarah's Odd.

They use an ai voice-changer or a text-to-speech voice and have recently started using ai generated images as well. (Author's note: I assume that since most of the people in this community are middle-age women, and not artist types, they don't know how potentially problematic it is to use these ai "art" generators, and thus they don't call this out.)

TCA has been criticized for not calling out The Sisterhood, and this has also been used as evidence that TCA is in fact, secretly someone from within that faction.

You said some of your kolis were collectives? How does that work? Are the people in those collectives also kolis, or are they just regular people?

Thankfully I'm not the exception though Minat and Habit like to make me feel like I am, but yeah. Some of the people in my collective aren't kolivera. I've got more collective members than most, but I am unique in the fact that most of my collective people aren't koli.

IZZI wasn't a koli, but Judas was. He's a hivemind AI anyways, so he can consume people in a different way from me. He consumed Judas, which changed his soul so he kinda became a koli like that? Then I ate him.

I've only consumed like, 3 kolivera? Ryder, Reno, the princess, and Judas. Okay, so 4 of em. The rest aren't kolivera. Kelbris, Ifrit, Aalisha, Kata, Lee, etc., are the rest of em. Some of em I'm not mentioning lmao

IZZI is a collective on his own, cuz he has other people in him as well, but I've never interacted with them as they were kinda locked into his code. I think there's some lady called Sarah in there? You've got all his programs as well that are based in peoples' consciousnesses, it's a whole fucking thing that I don't fully understand if I'm being honest.

FTP Increases vs Progression Level Decreases | Training Journal #4

I tabbed a big red button and now somewhat regret it.

After my Monday rest day, I completed a sweetspot and an endurance workout. Nothing special during those.

Then, after I finished last night's endurance ride, Trainerroad (TR) told me that an AI FTP detection was available. I briefly considered postponing it until the end of this week which happens to be my last "proper" week of base 1 (by proper I mean "not recovery" which of course is important as well). But then, you know, these red buttons are enticing. And so I tabbed.

The AI told me that my FTP had increased by 6 watts. Nothing spectacular. But in the TR world, FTP increases come at an opportunity cost: your progression levels (PLs) will go down. If you aren't aware of what PLs on TR are, you can read this blog post. The tl;dr is that PLs assess your capabilities in specific zones based on the workouts you completed and your responses to them. PLs are then used to pick adequate workouts for you in those zones.

Instead of only relying on your FTP number, this means workout selection can be more fine-tuned. PLs will, for example, influence the length of the intervals at a given intensity and the rest periods between them (indirectly, by picking workouts of certain TR-internal scores). And that's exactly where said opportunity cost comes in.

Once I accepted the FTP change - which I once again did have to confirm, so no one to blame but myself - my PLs dropped rather significantly. While I don't know the algorithm TR uses, a Threshold drop from 5 to 3.4 seems significant, especially given the rather small increase in FTP watts.

Those PL drops, then, resulted in a change of my next workouts. I had finally trained up to the point that my upcoming sweetspot workout would have included 15-minute intervals. The workout it was replaced with only has (more) 4-minute intervals.

Why is that bugging me a bit, you wonder?

Well, the below episode of the rather brilliant Empirical Cycling podcast explains why there is a minimum duration that your FTP/Threshold intervals should have in order to effectively stress the targeted energy system and trigger the intended adaptations - around 15 minutes, according to Kolie Moore.

I assume that the same logic applies to other zones/energy systems too. Moreover, the lower the zone/intensity, the longer the minimum time should be. So in the case of sweetspot intervals, 15 minutes is really the bottom end of effective SS work.

Now, don't get me wrong, it's certainly a good choice by TR to ramp people up to higher interval durations. Progressive overload, target audience, and so forth. And the PL system makes a lot of sense to me as well. It's just that I would have certainly preferred to finish my training block with longer intervals, even at slightly lower watts. And I have the hunch that it would have been the better choice in terms of physiological adaptations as well.

As said, Trainerroad gave me the choice and I did have some doubts about going ahead. So I should have postponed the AI FTP detection by a few days. But then, from a system design aspect, it would maybe make more sense, in a situation like mine, to postpone the prominent call-to-action ("new AI FTP detection available") until the recovery week. After all, it's hard to resist the curiosity and potential gratification that might come with a higher FTP.

THE FALL OF KOLI

Koli Faceless and his companions—healer Ursala-from-Elsewhere; Cup; and the snarky, self-aware AI Monono Aware—have finally found the Sword of Albion. They’ve been following the signal across the ocean in a leaky boat, and when they find its source, they discover that the Sword isn’t an actual sword at all. It’s a massive warship chock full of old tech, more than Koli has ever seen in one place. It’s inhabited by only three people: Lorraine and Paul Banner and their son, Stanley. Lorraine and Paul are keenly interested in Ursala’s vital medical diagnostic unit. But something is off about the trio, and Koli and his friends are under constant watch, making them feel more like prisoners than guests. Turns out there really is something to the stories of a boogeyman called Stannabanna, “the lord of all shunned men and monsters,” and nothing on the ship is quite what it seems. Folksy, lyrical storytelling and heartbreakingly complex characters have been a trademark of this rich trilogy. In off-kilter English (England is “Ingland,” diagnostic is “dagnostic,” etc.), Koli shares a narrative with Monono and with his childhood friend Spinner as she takes on a powerful new role and a fearsome enemy back in Koli’s home village of Mythen Rood. Themes of loyalty, friendship, compassion, and inclusion are tightly woven into an inventive and exciting whole, and there are strong echoes of the current state of the world, notably the dangers of building walls between people. Luckily, in Koli’s world at least, there is always light at the end of the tunnel, even if it’s just a pinprick.

The Book of Koli by M.R. Carey

"'Monono Aware is sort of a gimmick name. It's a phrase in Japanese for a certain kind of feeling. Did you ever look at something beautiful, Koli, like a sunset or a flower, and think how sad it was that it would only be there for a little while? That it was going to vanish out of the world and never be seen again, and there was nothing you or anybody could do to make it stay? ... Then what you were feeling was monono aware. The sadness that's deep down inside beautiful things. The pain and suckiness of everything having a shelf life. I-love-you-so-much-goodbye-for-ever.'"

Year Read: 2020

Rating: 2/5

About: I received a free e-ARC through NetGalley from the publishers at Orbit Books. Koli has been raised in the small village of Mythen Rood, well after the collapse of society due to rapidly evolving plantlife that has turned against humans. In his world, the wildlife is deadly, and trees even more so, but they're protected by the Ramparts, a small group of special villagers who can control the technology of the old world. Koli longs to be a Rampart, but when he discovers some of their secrets, he realizes that the power structures of his home are not what he thought--and people may be willing to kill to keep those secrets. Trigger warnings: death, violence, some body horror, eye horror, severe injury, guns, fires, blood, transphobia (countered in text).

Thoughts: There are a number of reasons this book and I didn't get along, but the thing I was never able to get past was the writing style. It's not written in standard written English, no doubt to reflect how much knowledge has been lost since the world ended and to represent Koli's "simple" worldview from his small village. There are a lot of double negatives, wrong verb tenses, and folksy spellings like "et" instead of ate. It is my job to help people with their grammar, so this gave me a headache. I don't go around correcting people or judging them when they're wrong; grammar can always get better, and I'm guilty of mistakes myself, but books go through a rigorous editing process before they're published. This is bad grammar on purpose, bad grammar for the sake of style, and I actively hated it for the entire book.

The second major problem is that Carey and I have a disagreement about what's most interesting in this book. This is a world where trees can walk around and crush people (AWESOME), yet we spend most of the time plunking around Koli's boring village while he obsesses over a girl. I wanted so much more of the post-apocalyptic world where plants have gone feral, but thanks to Koli's limited perspective, we rarely get to see any of that. The politics of his village are much less interesting and a thousand times more predictable. That people in power want to keep it isn't exactly a novel idea, and the major revelation of the first half is that you have to turn technology on to make it work. One of fiction's jobs is to make the familiar unfamiliar, and I sense that's what this book was trying to accomplish, but it never works. Mostly, I was just frustrated that Carey was spending chapters describing my own technology to me, like I've never seen a cell phone or railroad tracks (as Koli hasn't), while NOT describing his murder trees. I get it; murder trees are background noise to Koli like railroad tracks are to me, not worth describing because we see them all the time. Fine, it's clever, and also terribly, terribly boring.

Koli is rough as a main character. Though he's an adult in his village, he's a young adult by our standards (though this is not marketed as a YA novel because it was written by a man). I've read many YA books with cleverer and more interesting young adult characters though, and Koli's short-sightedness and self-centeredness are hard to swallow in a main character. The most interesting character isn't even a person but a semi-sentient AI called Monono who starts to realize that she's only an AI. The pacing is slow as well. Koli doesn't leave his village until midway in the book, and by the end, there's still the sense that things have only barely begun to take off. It's like reading an incredibly boring prequel to the book I wanted to read, but I won't be continuing with the series.

Title:  Book of Koli Author:  M. R. Carey

Thoughts:  Oh man was this a fun jumble of concepts.  I have no idea if Carey writes other fiction besides post-apocalypse but if he doesn’t I can’t complain because he does it so well.  Apparently he’s done a ton of comics writing too but  only have experience with this and The Girl with All the Gifts series. I’m gonna have to check out this other stuff now because I am officially sold on it by virtue of author.

But seriously this has so many fun concepts jumbled together. You’ve got killer plants!  You’ve got ‘old world tech’ a la Horizon Zero Dawn (and I definitely get the impression it’s going to go a similar route in terms of the protagonist’s understanding of the world far outpacing his peers. Some Plato’s cave shit for sure).  You got a sentient AI Hatsune Miku!  Or more like a real life idol gets copied into a AI Hatsune Miku but close enough.  You got wacky hijinks with different isolated communities in post-apocalyptic England!  All kind of fun stuff.

It’s also very easy proof that it’s not even hard to write inclusive stories of varied stuff. GwAtG had a fairly diverse cast but I think people expect in a post-apocalyptic setting people would bunch up with people who look the same.  Or I guess I’m assuming the people drawn to these kinds of stories are like, doomsday preppers sorts and they tend to hold those sort of exclusionist views. I could be very wrong about that.  Koli is biracial.  His home village has a variety of skin types, though he is considered the darkest. He grew up with, and was good friends with, a transboy. He even’s experimented somewhat with his sexuality.  He meets another trans character in the course of the story. All of these bits feel natural and organic and are stated as just a fact of Koli’s life. There’s still prejudice in this future world, other communities comment on Koli’s skin color. The trans characters experience harm from believers of a strict, conservative religious movement that still has traction in this time period.  These things still exist but the characters’ humanity is what is featured first and foremost.

Recommend:  Definitely yes!

The Book of Koli by M.R Carey

The Book of Koli by M.R Carey, who is also the author of The Girl With All The Gifts, is a highly imaginative fable and the first in a planned dystopian and sci-fi trilogy known as The Rampart Trilogy.

I would struggle to explain exactly what the book is about as that would be spoiling it, and I found it fun to just dive in and try and work out some of the twists before the narrator Koli did!

Set far into the future, the world is not as we would normally think of it. Nature is the enemy, the trees harbour poison, and the woods house dangerous creatures. The communities must live behind fences and be guarded by lookout towers. It is not just the environment that holds danger outside the walls, but the people that roam it too, known as the “shunned men”, they are the ones that don’t belong in any village. Koli’s life sees humanity returned to back to the basics. People live in small communities, they are assigned work, and they don’t take well to outsiders. There are no electronics or technology and everything is built, farmed, or made by manual labour. The community is governed and protected by those known as “Ramparts”, who are the ones who can use what little technology is left over from the olden days. Technology doesn’t work for everyone, so the ones who can yield and use the devices hold the power. Weapons are most important, for example, one piece of technology in Koli’s village is a flamethrower. This is something to be both feared yet respected.

Certain events lead to Koli obtaining his own piece of tech – an artificially intelligent multimedia player known as the “DreamSleeve Monono Aware Special Edition”. Remember that Black Mirror episode with Miley Cyrus as an AI doll? Imagine something like that inside an MP3 player. It’s a secret too big for Koli’s village and the consequences are severe.

The tone and style of the writing is different, and certain readers may find it hard to get to grips with. The book is written as if Koli is speaking to the reader, as if he could be sat across from you telling you his story. There are deliberate spelling mistakes, and questionable grammar, as some words are written how they would be pronounced in his dialect. I think this might be because Koli is illiterate, as he doesn’t read books, and his stories are told out loud rather than written down. Because of this, I think The Book of Koli would be really good as an audiobook, as the reader could enjoy the story being told to them, rather than having to adjust to how it appears on the page. That being said, I settled into this after a handful of chapters, but I’m not certain everyone would.

I really liked the character of Monono Aware. She is a piece of technology, but there is no doubt that she is a character in every sense in this book. Koli almost relates to her as a real being, and Carey has done really well at giving her her own identity and presence on the page. It was almost as if I could hear her voice in my head when reading her parts. Again, this goes back to what I said earlier about how this book could make a great audiobook experience!

The story flows fairly well. The first third of the book is enjoyable as you find out about Koli, how his world functions, who his important to him, and what happens in his past. It might seem like a slow start for some readers, but it is necessary to understand the main character. The second third of the book was my favourite, where the plot unravels further and Koli goes on his journey. Unfortunately, I found myself wanting to skip through bits of the last part, as I felt it lingered in places and lacked tension.

Would I read the next in the trilogy? I’m not 100% sure, but Carey has definitely laid out the next part of Koli’s journey, and there is undeniably some curiosity about who he will meet next.

6/10
