![]() ![]() One of our current world system, and the new future of the world. This book takes an unashamed look at two very different ways of life. Still, it's not a waste of a credit, unless you're looking for an action-packed sf book. ![]() ![]() I liked the characters, liked technology, and enjoyed the idea of this future world, but I kind of wish I'd been shown rather than told. Given that the world the authors have created is kind of interesting, all the exposition isn't really 'dull', but it IS monotonous. If you've ever read State of Fear by Michael Crichton, you'll understand what I mean essentially, you don't feel like you're being told a story about characters you feel like you're being given a political/social/cultural message that has some characters added in an attempt to make the subject matter seem a bit less dry. ![]() There are characters, and it's a work of fiction, but most of the book isn't about telling the story of the characters, it's about describing how and why everything in the fictional world is the way it is. I found myself doing that a lot during this book, but I don't know if dull is exactly the right word. Generally, when I'm listening to an audiobook and still find myself reaching for a magazine to read, it means that I'm finding the audiobook kind of dull. ![]()
