Welcome to Litsy!

A bonkers idea executed almost masterfully - if it wasn‘t for the final revelation, which was a bit of a let-down considering all the crazy stuff that happened before.

Not entirely satisfying, but an excellent read overall. The writing quality is, as promised, on the level of Ballard in its complexity and style. The inversion due to perception does have a bit of a post 60's vibe to it ("it's all in your mind man!"), and there is a feeling of tune in, turn on and drop out coming from it. Yet the "world is rebuilding itself" message comes across as positive, hopeful and realistic.

impressively imaginative hard #scifi. the direction the plot takes is stirring & genuinely surprising. the only flaw is the unnecessary sexual chauvinism

A familiar but odd masculinity #scifi

I'm finding this #scifi book fascinating & troubling as it has a very disturbing morality, a kind of ethics of inhumanity

Some new to me new #scifi lent to me by a friend

#thistitleequalsgreatbandname #marchintoreading @RealLifeReading This was harder than I thought to find one (esp one that wasn't already taken, I'm looking at you Genesis [Bernard Beckett] and The Kills [Richard House]).

The story of one inhabitant, Helward Mann, of a city on wheels named Earth, after the planet they left years ago. Mann discovers, during his apprenticeship into the city's guild system, why the city must constantly move and the reasons for the guild system itself. I LOVED it. Twists I really didn't see coming, despite my wonder at what all the weird hints were actually hinting at. Steampunkish before steampunk was cool, and this was is very cool.
