This book, though, I didn't end up liking that much. Overall, I didn't feel like I was getting anywhere with the ideas that were being put forth. There were a few chapters that were interesting: When he brought up the examples of Passengers (2016) and the short story "The Yellow Arrow," the musings there were great. Also, the penultimate chapter was good in the sense that it reached something.
But too much of the book felt lazy. I groaned at more than a few moments. There was a whole chapter on reading "transporting" you, an idea I've seen on wall posters in elementary school classrooms. Other parts of the book are based around, "This word looks like that word. When you think about it, isn't this word actually a lot like that word?" Kind of in the same vein as Derrida's "différance," but with much less rigor or analysis involved.
The writing style was fine (if a little whimsical). I just wish I "disembarked" this book with a bit more to think about.… (altro)
