Combo Như Hoa Như Sương Lại Như Gió + Ước Hẹn Phù Hoa (Bộ 4 Cuốn) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Vương Thinh

Cory Doctorow brings to bear his massive powers of imagination and dares to create an exciting and visionary future. America is the next third world, with the mom and pop apple pie dreams gone bust. The corporate giants have feet of clay. A company, the frankenstein amalgamation of Kodak and Duracell, deploys an unique business model. No longer focusing on large scale operations, Kodacell instead finances and assists small intrepid businesses. At the forerunner of this movement is Lester and Perry. They live near a shanty town, within reach of a junkyard. They invent things then move on to the next new thing. The duo find themselves thrown into the spotlight by the relentless blogging of Suzanne Church. Together they spark the New Work movement, which causes an unprecedented diaspora of American, the likes of which have last been seen during the Great Depression. The people are moving away from arid businesses to find work then moving on the next thing. Nothing lasts. New Work falls apart, and now there are more squatters than before. America is almost a gypsy nation, divided by the very poor (yet not poor in their approach to life, creative and hopeful), the upper middle class, and the very rich. Lester and Perry are still doing their thing, though Lester has changed. Lester used to be fat. Very fat. Then he went off to Russia for an experimental procedure to return a svelte muscle bound individual. There is a cost though, the body is required to consume approximately ten thousand calories a day to counteract the ramped up metabolism. Suzanne also visits Russia to report on this next new thing. They popularize the movement dubbed 'fatkins'. Meanwhile Perry and Lester begin a theme park. The riders rate a plus or a minus everything they encounter in the ride. The ride is a dynamic structure in constant flux, constructed by autonomous robots governed by ratings created by the riders. The robots then re-arrange, adjust the ride using 3D printers which have the ability to create almost everything within minutes. The ride soon takes a life of its own, and gains a cult following of riders who claim to see a Story, an archetypal rendition of the human condition. The riders have started bringing in their own artifacts, of intrinsic significance, the value of which the ride magnifies or reduces according to the votes. Lester and Perry take the next step. They create another ride in Boston, and link the two. Now riders in both locations control the ratings. People keep bringing in artifacts, dolls, toys, books, gadgets, and all kinds of things, and they are being reproduced in both locations! Soon more locations start opening, and the count of theme parks rise to the hundreds. A Disney CEO sees this, and is jealous. He is fighting for the survival of his goth oriented theme park. When he makes a bad managerial decision, the goths decide to migrate towards greener pastures. This is the last straw for him, and he is willing to do almost anything to stay alive in Capital Darwinism. This is when the shit hits the fan. Makers is actually a catalogue of "Cool Things I Would Love to See Happen" by Cory Doctorow. I guarantee you someday some of the crazy but entirely possible inventions in makers will become a concrete reality. How cool is that?! You can write a book, someone reads it and goes, hey! I can do that, then poof! It's real. Surprisingly, the future building isn't the book's only strong point. The human dynamic, the suffering and the joys are written especially well. You see the birth pangs of New Work, the petty feelings of humans towards each other, and how love can build and destroy things. You see how Lester and Perry try to make it work, despite mitigating forces and differences of belief. You can see how they try not to sell out, and when they try to get away from it all, you see that they can't. The feelings are there, as real as flesh and blood. A remarkable feat in such a technology oriented novel. Honestly... I could have done without the epilogue though. It doesn't suck, I promise. It's just, I thought it all ended on a great, positive note, though maybe it didn't work out exactly the way some would have liked it, but hey, that's life, right? It could have stayed that way, everyone at their peak, talking and happy. The epilogue was a gut punch, a teeth rattling reality, heart wrenching, because you see how high they've gone, and how high they could have gone, but to see them like this after everything that has happened... It's okay though, because no matter how old you have become, there is always room for redemption. Hats off to you Mr Doctorow and your prescient book.

rated 3.5 out of 5 A sci fi book is never my first choice of reading material. I'm a girl who likes a lot of romance mixed in with her demons and creatures that go bump in the night and i find Sci Fi doesn't deliver that for my needs. Yet i was intensely intrigued by the synopsis of Predators of Darkness when the author wrote and asked me for a review. So i hiked up my big girl pants and ventured into waters i rarely went into. And was pleasantly surprised with Predators of Darkness by Leonard D Hilley The characters held my attention. Fully rounded and had such great depth to them, i particularly liked Daniel the lead character. Some are more complex than others, but he stood out for me with his take charge air about him. While not everything i found engaging, some of the plot left me with a "huh" face, and some points i just thought not quite believable for the context of the story. Not having read anything post apocalyptic before i thought the author weaved an interesting tale giving real depth to each character even the secondary ones. It was an interesting premise on shifters i hadn't seen before, not wanting to give too much away to spoil the plot it's a kind of "you have to read it to understand" but you know if i liked a sci fi book then it has to be good since i have ADD with anything that's not predominantly in the romance genre. Lots of gore and scary moments, some a little too gory for my liking, but for a die hard sci fi fan they will love it. Overall an enjoyable read, a book that makes you think "WTF, i hope this doesn't really happen!" hah.

I made the mistake of reading the Fever series first. However the moment I picked up the Highlander series I was not disappointed. Karen you need to write many many many more books. Some that include all of the characters from the Highlander series and the Fever series. Adam Black and his jealousy and superior attitude threw me off of his character. He wasn't like what I expected from reading the fever series and prayed that Hawk would just beat him up and make me happy. However now I'm happy he didn't but that is another story. Adam bringing Adrienne back to Hawk as a punishment completely backfired on him and this book made me laugh, cry a little, and sit on the edge of my chair. Hawk's character surprised me. I did not think he would go off the deep end like he did in the end. Granted in that situation I could understand, but was thoroughly surprises. Grimm made me mad that he would betray Hawk like he did, but I again can understand the concern for his friend. This was the first step to falling in love with all the men of the Highlander series.
