Snow Crash review

3/5 stars Recommended if you like: hard sci-fi, dystopian sci-fi, tech bros, sword fighting, VR

TW statutory rape

So...let's have this be the last time I'm fooled by pretty colors and Sumerian cuneiform (also the last time I take a book recommendation from another book). This book and I did not get off to a good start, what with it opening with a million random words thrown together with exposition on what those words meant. Then I got used to it, then Stephenson had to bring in the anthropology and linguistics.

Now, normally I love seeing those things in books. I love both of those subjects and studied them in college and on my own time. That being said, Snow Crash is like if a tech bro was court mandated to take linguistics 101 and anthropology 101, only paid attention 33% of the time, then retold his tech bro buddies all about ancient civilization and ancient languages after having a couple of beers. This is, perhaps, a bit mean, because Stephenson does get some of it right. But then he goes off the rails and while I understand this is sci-fi....well, the basic facts are just plain wrong. Go off, but at least base it in fact.

A slight rant, so perhaps skip these next two paragraphs if you don't want to read about me complaining about linguistics and anthropology more, I'll try to make it brief. Stephenson was off to a good start talking about Sumer and Sumerian religion, he actually stays pretty on track with Sumerian religion, interestingly enough, but then he goes and starts talking about how Sumer was stagnant and yet somehow everyone spoke Sumerian and how me dragged Sumerians out of cave-man-hood.....except, Sumerian wasn't the first language. It's just the oldest language we have written attestation for. People could speak, and were modern humans, well before Sumer became a thing. Hell, Akkadian and and some form of Proto-Old-Chinese (among others) were both spoken at that time, the Sumerians just got to writing first. (and let's not even get into the "cave man" concept)

Further, Sumerian didn't just magically vanish, what happened was a series of smaller and larger civilization collapses caused by a whole host of factors, through which Sumerian gradually went from being the predominately spoken language of the area to a language spoken almost solely religiously due to the influx of newcomers and conquerors to the region combined with certain conquering dynasties forcibly migrating native Sumerians to the outskirts of the empire (where they had to interact with the natives there, who definitely did not speak their language) and bringing other cultural, linguistic, and ethnic groups into the traditional Sumerian heartland. Also, more minor, but there were not "tens of thousands" of languages being spoken in the 1980s. We have approximately 7000 languages today and while we are losing languages at a rapid rate, we are not losing them that quickly. Language, and by some extension culture, was the whole basis of this book and Stephenson just got so much of that basis wrong that, while I enjoyed a decent portion of it, I just couldn't get over the incorrectness of it,

Okay, back to the regularly scheduled programming. As far as plot goes, it was actually pretty interesting following Hiro and Y.T. as they got tangled up in web after web of this conspiracy. There were so many moving parts that seemed disparate from one another and yet somehow connected, and I really enjoyed seeing how it all came together. I liked how things built up and I think the showdown with Hiro gets a good climax, but stuff in the real world fell a little flat. I would've liked to have a firmer resolution with things, even if it left some things open ended. As is, it just feels like a let down.

Hiro was a hard character to get into. He's just kind of there for the beginning part of the book, a problem which is compounded by the sheer amount of lingo and information being dumped on readers at the beginning of the book. He turns out to actually be a pretty chill dude later on and even when he was confused, he at least seemed to grasp things quickly, so there wasn't too much just standing around and questioning things.

Y.T. was a bit easier to like from the get-go, though her lingo is just as confusing as Hiro's. 15 definitely seems young to be doing a lot of the things she's doing, and while I know her mom works long hours for the Feds, I'm surprised she has 0 clue what her daughter is doing. I liked Y.T.'s spunk and tenacity. She could get freaked out at times, but she was a go-getter and immediately jumped into doing anything she was interested in or thought would help.

While I did spend a good portion of this review complaining about the technical linguistic and anthropological side of the book, I did enjoy some of the book. The problem is, is that combined with the factual problems, the book reads too much like your stereotypical hard sci-fi that's easy to make fun of because the authors are using a gazillion weird words to enforce the 'futuristic' idea. Things like "franchulate" I can see where it comes from; 'Kouriers' are on thin ice, but whatever, they're trademarked; but there was a lot of stuff that I thought was just unnecessarily in "sci-fi lingo." All of this put together, plus the very ending of the book, reduced my overall enjoyability.

The Darkness Outside Us book review

The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer (2021)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"Insanity used to be a stranger that lived on the other side of the world. Now it’s moved next door. It’s only a matter of time until it becomes shipmate, lover, self." (p.305)

finished this book yesterday at 2am and i ate it up! a bit slow start, but as soon as the mystery began i couldn't put it down. Sci-fi is not and never will be my favorite genre (never finished one tbh) but how could i say no to the promise of gays in space?! and it definitely didn't disappoint!

The story is set in the future and follows two spacefarers, from two different enemy countries, on a mission to save the main character's sister, who disappeared three years ago on a solo mission to Titan, one of Saturn's moons. After some sleuthing and truthseeking the boys realise their rescue mission is much bigger than themselves.

The relationship between the spacefarers, Ambrose Cusk and Kodiak Celius, was incredibly interesting to experience and it left me with some thoughts and feelings as well.

"You love Kodiak. This is the hidden miracle of all this: you might be loving each other deeper than any humans have ever loved, have ever needed to love, have ever had the occasion to love." (p. 343)

The love between them is so much deeper and on such a different level than most people experience on Earth, because they are all the other has. I loved the bits where we heard past Ambrose's messages as they portrayed his inner thoughts about the situation and also portrayed a love for the future versions of himself and the true mission, they felt very soft at certain points. cried when reading the letters he had left for the last one, about the life he and Kodiak lived on the ship and how he taught his future self to open his heart and how to truly love.

I recomend this book to people who might be interested in experiencing a different kind of love story, than all the YA high school lgbt romance that's been so popular recently. The book is a hard one to swallow at times, but teaches about true, deep love and how to learn on others in times of crisis. It is honestly one of my biggest fears tho. if the oppotunity came around i would Never agree to going into space that is so terrifying along with being lost in the ocean no thank you

More Happy Than Not, Adam Silvera

Summary:

In the months following his father's suicide, sixteen-year-old Aaron Soto can't seem to find happiness again, despite the support of his girlfriend, Genevieve, and his overworked mom. Grief and the smile shaped scar on his wrist won't let him forget the pain. But when Aaron meets Thomas, a new kid in the neighborhood, something starts to shift inside him. Aaron can't deny his unexpected feelings for Thomas despite the tensions their friendship has created with Genevieve and his tight-knit crew. Since Aaron can't stay away from Thomas or turn off his newfound happiness, he considers taking drastic actions. The Leteo Institute's revolutionary memory-altering procedure will straighten him out, even if it means forgetting who he truly is.

Why does happiness have to be so hard?

Review:

I was expecting a sad book, and I got it, just not the way I was thinking I would.

It's a story full of pain, and fear, and heartbreak and grief, and I devoured it, it took me like 3 days to read it, I just couldn't stop. The happiness is so joyful that you want to keep going, and when things turn around and get tough you can't stop turning the page taking in more and more, I'm not ashamed to admit I cried during the last few chapters, because the story and Aaron, find a way to get to you no matter what.

The Sci Fi of it all has a very casual way to wind up into the story and it never feels over the top or like some miracle answer, you'll find that in some cases it does more hurt than it helps, but I loved that it was used that way.

The ending, the original one, isn't happy, it isn't sad either, I would say that it's rather hopeful, and real, well in tone with the story, and I think I would've been ok with just that ending, but lucky for me I got the deluxe edition with the Ending 2.0 and I loved it even more, it was still a little sad, and full of hurt, but I do think that it left us in a better and happier place for Aaron.

I'm gonna leave a list of possible triggers at the end of the post, because while I loved it and I would recommend it, I also know it's filled with heavy themes that not everyone can handle the same.

Trigger warnings: Uses of the f-slur and other hate speech towards the queer community, as well as hate crimes (towards the middle of the book) Mentions of suicide all through the book and suicide methods (non overly descriptive or explained in detail) domestic abuse and substance abuse.

Immortal Longings review

5/5 stars Recommended if you like: The Hunger Games, enemies to lovers, murder games, unhinged FMCs, morally gray characters I was a little nervous coming into this one since it's completely separate from the Secret Shanghai world, but I needn't have been, I absolutely love this book. It's got the action, the morally questionable characters, the enemies to lovers, the tragedy. All of it. I was not bored once while reading this. The book actually reminds me a bit of a Hunger Games / Dualed mashup where the characters are chasing down and murdering other people in a sci-fi/dystopian city but it's a government sanctioned bloodsport. The idea of San-Er really drew me in. I love the idea of dual cities and how they become connected over time. I also love how it hearkens to cities from the ancient and medieval worlds. San-Er is created along similar lines, with the two cities springing up on either side of a river and building walls around themselves as the monarchs decide to rule together but still separate. The city itself is a blend of the historic and the future, and I really enjoy how the 'future' has very 90s vibes with pages and internet cafes. Despite the seeming disparateness of the ancient past and the future/90s, the elements work together to create a unique city. I really like how much of San-Er we get to see in the book and how varied the different districts can be. Jumping between bodies was also an interesting idea to me. Everyone has qi but only some (most?) people have the gene to jump bodies, taking their qi with them and leaving their 'birth body' behind. the only way to tell if someone jumps bodies is by their eye color, which also carries over when they jump. There are also empty vessels, which are simply bodies without qi and thus lack consciousness, and can magically repair from wounds. But jumpers can also jump into other people and are either pushed out if that person is too strong or take over the body for whatever period of time they please. If a jumper takes over another body permanently, the original consciousness eventually fades (dies). It's definitely an intriguing setup, particularly when you take into account that people readily jump bodies for one reason or another and a lot of people just see physical bodies as accessories. Technically jumping is against the law, but most everyone seems to do it anyway and it's a commonplace thing. On the one hand, it's painted as being very normal in this world and just something that people expect at some point or another. There are a handful of people immune to it, people who are doubled/already have two qis (i.e., already being occupied) and the Weisannas, but unless your qi is powerful enough to repel other jumpers, everyone is open to being jumped into. Thus, as various characters say in the book, bodies are just things to use for a while until you move on to the next one. Under that morality, it's perfectly fine and normal to use the bodies however you want, be it in the games or to have sex or to just have a pretty face. But there were definitely some moments in the book that gave me pause. I did wonder about the people killed in the games, either alongside a player who had jumped into them or after a player jumped before the body and other qi died. I also had a moment when Calla and Anton have sex because...that's not Anton's body. There are definitely questions of consent re: body jumping, but I feel like they won't be addressed because it's just so normalized in this world. Regardless, it's still an interesting part of the book. The games are set up as a way to win riches beyond most people's imaginings and serve as a risky last ditch effort to claw out of poverty. The games aren't limited to an arena though and players are given run of the city, making it more dangerous for both them and for San-Er's residents. It provided an interesting setup, especially since it is televised as a game, so people watch from their TV screens but they'll also crowd around a fight to try and see live who will win. Since there are 88 participants and the fighting is so spread out over the city we don't get to meet most of them, and the ones we do meet are almost inevitably in a fight where they eventually die. The interesting thing about the characters is that they all want to transform Talin (maybe not Anton, not at first), they just have different ideas about how to do it. They form an interesting hall of mirrors, all with the same goal but different methods and beliefs about how it can best be done. Calla, the murderous princess, is the main character. Sure there are other POVs, but she's the one the story centers on. After massacring the rest of the royal family and some of their guards, Calla was forced into hiding before she could finish the job by killing off the other royal family. She's in the games now to win so she can get close enough to finish the job. While she did commit the massacre, she did it because she wanted to bring the regime down and transform Talin. I liked that plan, but I wasn't so much a fan of how she decided to trust August and let him be king. Even without being told, just reading his POV showed he was skeevy. Other than her plans, Calla is someone who's done her best to wall herself off from everyone else and her own emotions. She feels some guilt about killing during the games, but not enough to try and find a way to get around it. Calla was trained to be a killer and she's good at it. At the same time, she seems to feel this great burden about Talin and the people in it who are suffering. She wants the regime to change, even if it has to be done forcefully, but she's not much of a strategist in how she plans to get it done. It is kind of a nice change of pace to see a character who's just vicious without also being manipulative. I do like Calla as a character and how thoroughly messy she is. I look forward to seeing her (and hopefully Mao Mao) in book 2. Anton is a disgraced aristocrat who's entering the games for the money so he can pay off his medical debt and get his sick childhood lover proper care. He readily jumps from body to body as needed to get things done and does seem to have some strategic capabilities since he picks his bodies for specific reasons. Like Calla, Anton is vicious, but he also is more trusting of others and more willing to open himself up. I like Anton's character as well and seeing both the desperation and obsession at different points. I'm very very curious to see how things play out with him. August is the crown prince and is probably equally as obsessive as Calla and Anton, just about different things. He's the adopted son of the king and feels that lack of nobility in his bones and is, frankly, desperate to claw his way all the way to the top. August starts out seeming like a playful noble son, the brat Calla calls him, but as the book progresses it becomes clear that August is both strategic and manipulative. Calla believes he'll change Talin, Anton believes August will tear into it with both fists. I'm inclined to agree with Anton. August steps on people to get what he wants and is both manipulative enough and vicious enough to do terrible things to make it happen. I do love characters like that, but since he's kind of working against Calla's own interests, I'm not so much a fan, lol. As with the others, I'm intrigued to see how things play out with him in the next book. Overall, this is a very action packed book with sci-fi, historical, and 90s-noir vibes. I really enjoyed it and was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I like how Gong plays with the motivations and plans of each of the characters and how they reflect different sides of the same goal (mostly). The ending also left a lot open for the next book, so I'm interested to see how everything plays out. Also, it's a trilogy now?! The wait is going to kill me.

Book 4 A Space witch slaughter Mystery

A space limo crosses a force field and onto the space palace flyway. Witch Healer Black leaves the darkened cabin. The waiting robowitch WhiteDwarf can see a bottle of something illegal chilling in a freeze cube just visible in the limo doorway. One of her chrome eyebrows rises silently. Her multi cubit grid eye sensors randomly flash with computational energy; you can almost hear the wikkety wockety noises. Witch Healer Black enters the space palace. A grand entrance of artificial iridescent white marble. The hallway shimmers with millions of bright reflective flecks from the stone. Witch healer black had a bad space year when the space palace was being constructed and her budget couldn’t stretch to a pure diamond entrance hall. Her witches hover cane brings her up to a higher level and to her study. She disappears behind the chrome hatchway of the study’s entrance.

Witch Cosmo Cosmos is next to enter the palace. RoboWitch WhiteDwarf takes her red witches hat. The witch enters the darkened ballroom, she is the first guest. Quickly joined by Sentinel WarWitch who keeps her yellow chromed robot witches hat. Next Green Banshee, she keeps her banshee tiara. Professor Pulsar hands her purple wizards hat to RoboWitch WhiteDwarf and the party has begun.

They are all here for a conjuring. The Witch Watcher is needed to tell the fortunes of everyone attending the palace this space evening.

They are all drinking the Witching Tea that makes your peripheral vision turn beetle iridescent blues, purples and greens. “where is Witch Healer Black" asks Witch Cosmo Cosmos. Robowitch Whitedwarf floats up toward the home owners study; She enters and disappears behind the chrome doorway. Professor Pulsar looks cosmically at Witch Cosmo Cosmos... “so you won the Trans Dimensional Subverting the Cosmic Fabric Boundaries of Space Time in the Most Original Way contest then! ‘Yes' a piercing CLANKing echos from the upper level study. The party all float up to see what’s what. Robowitch WhiteDwarf is retrieving her chrome eyebrows from the ancient copper gong fallen on the floor... she looks back at the party of witch types, her eyes flashing with computational energy. She robowitch shouts “SLAUGHTER.” “Someone tried to poisoned her CussGoose.” A half black half white pompom quacked something offensive. Witch healer Black had the habit of eating the Mediterranean couscous she fed to her CussGoose... in this particular future any kind of animal combination can be fashioned cussGeese are particularly popular. “ONE OF YOU DID THIS!” exclaimed Robowitch WhiteDwarf. Witch Cosmo Cosmos piped up “This is impossible, none of us left the ballroom on our arrival.”

Chapter 2

“It felt like an amuse-bouche of amuse-bouches”... ‘Surely an amuse-bouche of amuse-bouches is just a normal amuse-bouche?!’... the Mews Bushes giggled. Witch Cosmo Cosmos and Green Banshee stepped out of a bush. Robowitch WhiteDwarf’s chrome eyebrow rose silently. The banshee saw the others and said “ahh, i was just amusing witch Cosmo in the bush.” The other robowitch chrome eyebrow rose, a white rose bloom plonked onto the robot witches white chrome head and white petals danced down and around her white chrome body and dark glowing hover crystal. Banshees won’t normally be seen alone with witches and the embarrassment was showing on Green Banshee's face. The party are waiting for the space authorities.

“I can feel it” said professor Pulsar cosmically. The iridescent greens were encroaching on her peripheral vision “and me".

The blue witches hat of a space authority witch is hanging from one of robowitch Whitedwarf's many tooled pincer hands. The party are all in the full throws of a Witch Watcher trance. Beetle iridescence is foaming from the edges of the party shadows as the witch types all dance a slow conjuring. The space authority witch looks at robowitch WhiteDwarf “typical Witching Saturday night then" she says. “I’ll make myself comfortable”!

“Do you have any theories as to which of them did it"?

RoboWitch WhiteDwarf told the space witch that no one left the ballroom on their arrivals. “Ah, so it’ll be some super nature trickery pokery then”! The space witch noted this down on a black note pad in glowing green handwriting.

The dancing suddenly stopped, the beetle iridescence retreated from the shadows cast by the dancers and from the dancers peripheral visions. ‘The Witch Watcher is out’! Says Witch Cosmo Cosmos, ‘we left a message’. “excellent" says the space authority witch. Someone is entering the palace flyway interrupted robowitch WhiteDwarf. A dark brown space limo stops outside the palace entrance. It has the logo Death Industries printed on the passenger door. The party are all watching from the ballroom holographic visor windows. A figure in dark brown robes steps out of the space vehicle. A Day-Glo fluorescent pink skull is peering out from the hood. “oh, great... Mayor Death is involved" said the space authority witch.

A fluorescent pink skeletal hand knocked once on the space palace’s ancient alien wooden doors. Everyone looked at Robowitch WhiteDwarf. Err, it’s open, she called out... the door slowly opened and in hovered Mayor Death, “relax everyone, i left my Soul Net in the space limo”. Everyone exhaled. The Space Authority Witch explained the situation. “well, Witch Healer Black invited me around this evening to partake in their cheese cellar".

The neon lights of a cavern deep inside the space palace flickered on. Robowitch WhiteDwarf peered around the door. They all entered the long thin grey stone cheese cellar. Walls of cheesy wheels and large cubes, all the cheeses of planet Earth. Nothing. No clues, no signs of anything. They all hovered back to the ballroom. The Space Authority Witch was busy interviewing everyone, she left Mayor Death until last.

It turns out everyone has a side reason for coming to the party this evening. Witch Cosmo Cosmos came to see Witch Healer Blacks new designs for the ultimate robot assistant. Sentinel War Witch was invited so Witch Healer Black could view the latest robot technology recently installed inside her war machine body. Green Banshee was invited , as a very old friend of Witch Healer Black, so she could show off the latest robot magic developed by Professor Pulsar. “so what do you think of all that?” asked the Space Authority Witch to RoboWitch WhiteDwarf. I can show you the laboratory was her answer.
