Me pareció un gran libro. Aunque es bastante lento y está lleno de detalles y descripciones, esa vividez logra que te intereses por la ciudad y por los tiempos en que transcurre la historia.Hay muchas ideas interesantes aquí, acerca de la sociedad, el terrorismo, la tecnología o la religión. Confies...
Well..... The book was great. It was well plotted, held my attention, had more interesting side characters then I'd read about in a LONG time, and just made me want to know more. But (and this is a really big but) the author chose to write a good chunk of the dialogue in something he calls Pilari, w...
A challenging but enjoyable book set in India 2047 where the main soap opera features a.i. cast members. Each chapter is dedicated to one of the ten main characters in the book, from gangsters to government advisors to"Krisna Cops" hunting rouge a.i's, with the multiple plot lines interwoven between...
This book is brilliant. Beautifully written and well crafted. A love letter to Turkey. And many of the ideas and visions explored are fascinating. Now if only I could figure out why I couldn't wait to be done with it. One of the more interesting things about the book was that it tracked six differen...
4 – 4.5 starsI was reminded, while reading _Desolation Road_, of two authors in particular: John Crowley and Gene Wolfe. This is not to say that I think Ian McDonald was in any way aping them or merely writing some kind of amalgamated pastiche, but there were elements to his tale that made both auth...

Rating: 4.75* of fiveThe Book Report: Earth can't sustain its current population in the style to which all 7 billion of us wish to become accustomed, and no one is predicting a sudden outbreak of common sense and birth prevention to bring the numbers down. What are we to do?Move, of course. Where? ...
This is the first work I’ve read by Ian MacDonald and I (mostly) really enjoyed it. McDonald knows how to write. He knows how to write fluidly and beautifully and have fun with his words, which I really appreciate. Most of the book is lyrical and fun, and I loved the imagery and magical realism...
The thing I liked best about this story was that the main character's first action upon arriving in an alternate reality was to visit a public library and find an Encyclopedia Britannica to find out the basic facts about the world he was in. Practical advice for any trans-universal traveler.
