Resenhas

Definitely one of the best and most enjoyable of Stross' works. A fascinating mix of ideas and sub-plots, all carefully woven together. The kind of book you want give to a scifi "sceptic" and say "here - this is why I read the genre!"

(I realise all SF that deals with new/potential technology is going to date - probably badly - but here in 2024 the idea of the Eschaton - a super AI - makes for really interesting reading.)

Would have enjoyed it more had I a deeper familiarity with Lovecraft.

Fun story mixing fantasy with contemporary technology that veils a social critique. The target reader is probably teenager as many of the dialogues are a rich with cute twists of language that can get a bit tedious. Full of interesting ideas, strong characters, good dramatic drive...

What is not as good is the narrative structure that is the parallel story of four situations that converge to a shared explanatory end. But the different scenes are so far apart and a bit lacking in intrinsic story arc that as a reader I felt I was waiting to understand how things related before deciding to really invest into the story.… (mais)

Raamat läks käima õieti alles kusagil teises pooles, sissejuhatus oli liiga pikk ja ei viinud tegelikult mitte kuhugi -- võimalik muidugi, et mingid asjad muutuvad oluliseks hilisemates osades, aga siiski muutis see esimese osa tarbetult lohisevaks. Kui käima läks, siis ikka kohe sajaga, kohe hakkas ikka niimoodi juhtuma, et tuul vilistas kõrvus ja põnevust oli enam kui küll.
Aga Strossi jutud meeldivad mulle ikka kohe palju rohkem. Ta vist ikka pigem lühivormide meister :)
