Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. sequel to In War Times, this one covers the children and grandchildren of Sam and Bette Dance. by now it's 1991, at least in Timestream 2. the third generation is young and precocious, and the enemy action less formidable, but the proliferating timelines and mutating nanotech devices of Eliani Hadntz make the worlds less stable to travel, particularly in the vicinity of the Dance family home. but Eliani's grand utopian plan involving empathy and education appears to be working. in some ways, it's about the elasticity of memory, how fluid it is when confronted with competing quantum histories, and how much family and communications matter in the distribution of space and time we navigate. altogether, the author doesn't devote as much time and glorious detail to the period as she does in the previous book set in 1945-1963, but it's lovely to get caught up on the Dance family and their interesting problems with living inside the lab experiment of creating a quantum world.

Kathleen Ann Goonan introduced Sam Dance and his wife, Bette, and their quest to alter our present reality for the better in her novel In War Times (winner of the John W. Campbell Memorial Award for Best Novel and ALA's Best Science Fiction Novel of 2008). Now, in This Shared Dream, she tells the story of the next generation. The three Dance kids, seemingly abandoned by both parents when they were younger, are now adults and are all disturbed by memories of a reality that existed in place of their world. The older girl, Jill, even remembers the disappearance of their mother while preventing the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Goonan has created a new kind of utopian Science Fiction novel, in which the changes in history have created a present world that is in many ways superior to our own, while in other worlds people strive to prevent their own erasure by restoring the ills to ours. This Shared Dream is certainly the most provocative Science Fiction speculation of the year, and perhaps the decade. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
