Technology, spies and activism
Homeland - Cory Doctorow

The cover, of the edition I read, didn't make it clear that this was the second book in the series, and on occasion I wondered what events the narrator was referring to, they seemed too important to warrant no more than a brief mention. Now I have ordered book one and look forward to reading that soon.

Apart from the occasional confusion, the book is a complete story and worked perfectly as a standalone. A young hacker, Marcus, is entrusted with secrets about the operations of the US Homeland Security. He has to decide whether to risk his safety and expose the atrocities or stay safe. It's a YA book, however it is written in a way that it will appeal to people of all ages with an interest in civil liberties and activism.

Marcus and his friends are warm and idealistic, and the main story, the included short story based on the aftermath of the Seneca quake, and the articles by internet activists all made me want to go and learn code and get involved. In many ways it reminded me of Robert Newman's book "The Fountain at the Centre of the World" and its depiction of the Battle for Seattle.

Catch-Up Quick Takes: Best. State. Ever.; Live Right and Find Happiness; You Can Date Boys When You're Forty (Audiobooks) by Dave Barry, Dick Hill
Live Right and Find Happiness (Although Beer is Much Faster): Life Lessons and Other Ravings from Dave Barry - Dave Barry
Best. State. Ever.: A Florida Man Defends His Homeland - Dave Barry

I've mentioned before here that I think that Dave Barry is just about the funniest writer around—I used to gobble up his stuff in the newspaper and bookstore as quickly as it came out. I'm not sure what changed, but there are a handful of books by him that I haven't gotten to yet. Thankfully, my Library had a few of them available to listen to last month. Here are a few thoughts about each of them. Quick reminder: the point of these quick takes post to catch up on my "To Write About" stack—emphasizing pithiness, not thoroughness.

Unabridged Audiobook, 4 hrs., and 47 mins.
Recorded Books, 2016
Read: November 21-22, 2019

(the official blurb)


The best parts of this one for me were the introduction (explaining some of the phenomena behind the widespread mockery of Florida) and the chapter giving a history of the state. I chuckled a lot at both of those.

 

When he moved onto looking at various tourist attractions and or locations in the state, it lost a little bit for me. There was something in each chapter to make me grinmaybe even laugh. But not as much as I'm used to from Barry. The Key West chapter came close, but even that stumbled. I do think if I'd ever been in the state to get a feel for some of these places it might have been better.

 

The biggest revelation for me from this is just how funny Dick Hill can be. No offense intended, but the voice of Jack Reacher and other thrillers is just not what you think of when it comes to silliness. But man, he was really, really good at this.


3 Stars

by Dave Barry
Unabridged Audiobook, 3 hrs., and 39 mins.
Recorded Books, 2015

(the official blurb)


This is more like it: pieces of wisdom (and other things) Barry's passing on to his daughter and grandson. The driving tips for his daughter were fantastic (not just because my daughter is in the process of getting her license right now). The letter to his infant grandson was funny and touching.

 

Barry also looks at his parents' generation (the Mad Men generation) and their ability to party, Google Glass, and a trip to Brazil for the World Cup (not being a sports guy, I didn't think that last one would do much for me, but it was really funny). Oh, yeah, then he talks in-depth about a trip that he and Ridley Pearson took to Russia to talk about writing.

 

As much as I liked Dick Hill, Barry's a better narrator of his own stuff.


3.5 Stars

 

 

You Can Date Boys When You're FortyYou Can Date Boys When You're Forty: Dave Barry on Parenting and Other Topics He Knows Very Little About


by Dave Barry
Unabridged Audiobook, 3 hrs., and 22 mins.
Penguin Audio, 2014
Read: November 8, 2019

(the official blurb)


This one ticked all the right boxes for methe stuff about his daughter dating was the kind of thing that fathers everywhere can relate to and second; taking his daughter to a Bieber concert was even better. It was probably not a good idea for me to listen to his chapter about Fifty Shades of Grey at work, thankfully no one asked me why I was laughing (I did not want to have to explain that). Oh, and his funeral instructions were priceless.

 

Something I wasn't prepared for was a long piece about a trip his family took to Israel. Listening to Barry juggle travel humor (searching for A/C and Wi-Fi in the midst of historic/cultural wonders), sensitive political discussions, and even getting close to the spiritual was fantastic. It's not the kind of writing that you often see from Barry, and it's easy to forget he can be really effective doing things that aren't just verbal slapstick.

 

This is probably one of my favorite collections from someone I've been reading for decades. This is just great.
4 Stars

Irgendwie doch nicht das, was ich erwartet hatte
The Twelve (Book Two of The Passage Trilogy): A Novel - Justin Cronin

Justin Cronin glaubte anfangs nicht, dass „The Passage“ ein ernstzunehmendes Projekt werden könnte. Der Auslöser war seine damals 8-jährige Tochter Iris, die ihn aufforderte, endlich mal ein spannendes Buch zu schreiben. Sie wünschte sich Vampire, eine rothaarige Figur und ein Mädchen, das die Welt retten sollte. Sie begannen, spielerisch Ideen auszutauschen, als Möglichkeit, Zeit miteinander zu verbringen. Erst später wurde Cronin klar, dass ihre Geschichte tatsächlich Potential haben könnte. Er schrieb den ersten Band „The Passage“ und feierte einen Bestseller. Inwieweit Iris am zweiten Band „The Twelve“ beteiligt war, weiß ich leider nicht, aber eines ist sicher: Cronin verdankt ihr seinen kometenhaften Erfolg.

 

Babcock und seine Nachkommen sind tot. Fünf Jahre sind vergangen, seit Peter und seine Freunde die Kolonie verließen. Ihre Gruppe ist versprengt; ihr einstiger Zusammenhalt nur noch Erinnerung. Doch schon bald müssen sie sich darauf besinnen, was sie verbindet. Es heißt, in Iowa existiere eine Stadt namens Homeland, die von einem skrupellosen Tyrannen regiert wird. Dorthin verschleppte Menschen schuften als Sklav_innen, um den wahnsinnigen Plan des Direktors zu realisieren: er will ein dauerhaftes Heim für die Zwölf errichten. Als Peter Gerüchte erreichen, dass Sara noch leben könnte und in Homeland gefangen gehalten wird, reist er mit alten und neuen Freunden nach Iowa, um sie zu befreien. Vor Ort bietet sich ihnen jedoch eine einmalige Chance. Der Plan des Direktors steht kurz vor der Vollendung. Die verbliebenen elf der ursprünglichen zwölf Virals werden sich in Homeland versammeln, um ihr neues Domizil zu beziehen. Können Peter und seine Gefährten die Gunst der Stunde nutzen und die Bedrohung der Virals ein für alle Mal ausschalten?

 

Es fällt mir schwer, mein Verhältnis zu „The Twelve“ auf eine Weise zu formulieren, die ihr nachvollziehen könnt. Meine Empfindungen sind widersprüchlich und ich verstehe selbst kaum, warum das so ist. Ich dachte vor der Lektüre, dass ich keine konkreten Erwartungen an den zweiten Band der „The Passage“-Trilogie hätte und lediglich begeistert werden wollte, mehr nicht. Mittlerweile glaube ich, dass das nicht stimmt. Ich scheine durchaus gewisse Erwartungen gehegt zu haben, die Justin Cronin nicht vollständig erfüllte, weshalb ich mich jetzt in dieser blöden emotionalen Zwickmühle befinde. Zu Beginn erschien mir das Buch sehr vielversprechend. Es gefiel mir, dass Cronin noch einmal einen Sprung zurück in das Jahr Null, das Jahr des Ausbruchs der Virals, wagt und die Apokalypse aus einer anderen Perspektive zeigt. Bisher hatte ich diese ja nur aus der Distanz mit Amy und Wolgast erfahren. Der neue Blickwinkel ist direkter und näher dran, weil er sich aus Figuren zusammensetzt, die leibhaftig und unmittelbar erleben, wie die USA von den Virals überrannt werden. Sie befinden sich mitten im Chaos und vermitteln aus ganz unterschiedlichen Positionen ihre Eindrücke. Ich fand diesen Part, der den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenbruch aus der Abstraktheit in die greifbare Realität hebt, spannend und verfolgte aufgeregt, wie die Schicksale einiger Persönlichkeiten Wellen bis in die Zukunft schlugen. Danach geht es wieder in die Gegenwart, in der fünf Jahre seit den Ereignissen des ersten Bandes „The Passage“ vergingen. Viel hat sich gewandelt; die heldenhafte Truppe, mit der ich von Kalifornien bis nach Colorado reiste, existiert nicht mehr. Sie brachen auseinander, was der erste Hinweis auf meine zunehmenden Schwierigkeiten mit der Handlung war. Es gefiel mir nicht, dass ihre Freundschaft den Umzug nach Kerrville in Texas nicht unbeschadet überstand. Das ist kindisch und kleinlich, aber ich sperrte mich dagegen, ihre veränderten Beziehungen zu akzeptieren, obwohl sie im Verlauf von „The Twelve“ wieder zusammenfinden. Ihre Rettungsmission führt sie nach Homeland, ein Setting, das ich mir lebhaft ausmalen konnte. Eine Sklavenstadt ist durch und durch vorstellbar. Ihr Direktor ist genau der Typ Mensch, der unter widrigen Umständen aufblüht, weil er sich wie ein Parasit am Leid anderer labt und dabei die Selbsttäuschung aufrechterhält, er wüsste, was für alle das Beste ist. Sein geistesgestörter Plan, die verbliebenen elf Meister-Virals zu beherbergen, offenbart neue Facetten des Virus, dessen Spielarten erstaunlich eindeutig an das Dracula-Narrativ erinnern. Ich habe die Abstufungen der Infektion nicht durchschaut. Das Virus wirkt sich divergierend aus und ich verstehe nicht, wieso. Vielleicht hätte ich es begriffen, hätte ich endlich alle Meister-Virals persönlich kennenlernen dürfen. Leider beschränkt sich Cronin auf Babcock, Carter und ein einziges Kapitel aus Martínez‘ Sicht, weshalb ich mich fragte, warum es überhaupt zwölf sein mussten. Wieso nicht drei? Dem Autor unterliefen mehrere dieser nicht ausreichend erläuterten Inkonsistenzen, die die Lektüre für mich überschatteten und sich bis in den finalen Showdown ziehen, der ohnehin enttäuschend unspektakulär daherkam. Es endet viel zu einfach. Ich fühlte mich unbefriedigt.

 

Ich bin nicht überzeugt von der Entwicklung, die „The Twelve“ für die „The Passage“-Trilogie bedeutet, weder inhaltlich noch hinsichtlich der schriftstellerischen Qualität. Natürlich ist es ein gutes Buch, das mitreißende Abschnitte enthält, aber von der gewaltigen Dimension, die mir der erste Band „The Passage“ versprach, war kaum noch etwas zu spüren und es störte mich massiv, dass mir Justin Cronin einige kritische Details unkommentiert vor die Füße warf. Sein wissenschaftlicher Ansatz verbietet es, „Vampir!“ zu schreien und es dabei zu belassen. Das reicht einfach nicht. Ich vermute, dass ich von „The Twelve“ vor allem Antworten erwartete – stattdessen habe ich nun mehr Fragen als je zuvor. Ich hoffe, dass sich diese im Finale „The City of Mirrors“ klären werden und der Autor seine letzte Chance, mich zu begeistern, effektiv nutzt. Jetzt gilt es, Mr. Cronin.
