( ) What a truly awful book! Awful enough that I gave up at page 97, at the end of part 3 (though there was no part 1). Don’t read this book. (Full review at my blog) I found this one didn't age well. The first section was full of really out-dated computer tech talk and the next section did not start out auspiciously, so I gave up. In amongst the tech talk was a lovely evocation of New Orleans pre-Katrina. You can really tell the Effinger loved the place. I also suspect that Effinger is going somewhere really interesting thematically, so the read might be worth it. But life is short and I, personally, am moving on. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
A novel of first alien contact--and the conspiracy it unveils--from the Hugo Award-winning author of When Gravity Falls. "Because it's there"--that was why Earth men climbed Mt. Everest and why, in 2017, they set out for the distant star Wolf 359. In 1988 they had learned that intelligent inhabitants from a planet orbiting Wolf 359 had been signaling Earth. That fact was reason enough to dispatch a manned probe to explore and investigate. But perhaps there was another reason for the journey--a reason too incredible for Earth people ever to imagine, a reason they may never understand, even when they land on the planet they call Jennings' World. Author George Alec Effinger was a true master of satirical science fiction. Before his death in 2002 he gained the highest esteem among his peers for his pitch-perfect stylistic mimicry and his great insight into the human condition. Despite a life filled with chronic illness, Effinger was a prolific novelist and short story writer, earning multiple Nebula and Hugo Award nominations.
