Trafik
Trafik | Rikki Ducornet
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
From the singularly inventive mind of Rikki Ducornet, Trafik is a buoyant voyage through outer space and inner longing, transposing human experiences of passion, loss, and identity into a post-Earth universe. Quiver, a mostly-human astronaut, takes refuge from the monotony of harvesting minerals on remote asteroids by running through a virtual reality called the Lights, chasing visions of an elusive red-haired beauty. Her high-strung robot partner Mic pilots their Wobble and entertains himself exploring his records of the obliterated planet Earth, searching for Al Pacino trivia, unfamiliar recipes, and high fashion trends. But when an accident destroys their cargo, Quiver and Mic go rogue, setting off on a madcap journey through outer space towards an idyllic destination: the planet Trafik.

Mehso-so

I'm...not entirely sure what I just read. It's a weird and philosophical sci-fi romp to be sure and I really enjoyed some of the language play and the mostly human woman and her robot companion but as for what exactly happened, well, I'm not sure i could tell you. That may be to blame on format since I listened to the audiobook, but I also suspect a certain amount of esotericness was the author's goal. Can't say it was entirely unenjoyable though.
