Chú Thoòng - Tập 9 Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Vương Trạch

An interesting anthology which was - thankfully - more diverse than I had expected (having gone in expecting page after page of clockwork automata, airships, difference engines and Victorian social mores). Editor Nick Gevers has taken care to mix things up a bit however, and although all tropes are present and correct across the whole anthology (I was pretty sick of reading the name Babbage by the end) there is a great deal of moderation and even subversion, along with plentiful imagination even when the author is playing it straight. The authors pay a great deal of attention to differentiating their worlds beyond "it's got steam and anachronistic artificial intelligence": in Marly Youmans' "Static", the world is "irradiated with electricity", while in Adam Roberts' "Petrolpunk" the steam-driven world is unique in a multiverse of petrol-using worlds because... of reasons. Have already spoiled too much, read it. Your mileage will vary with these stories as they're all distinct enough to cover different tastes, but my personal recommendations from within the collection are "Petrolpunk", Ian R MacLeod's "Elementals" and Margo Lanagan's "Machine Maid", while Jeff Vandermeer & Jay Lake's stories rank slightly behind these but are compelling enough to make me want to seek out more of their work (I have one of Vandermeer's books lying around in one of the Boxes, must find it...)
