Vor kurzem hierher umgezogen von bookwyrm.social. Versuche, mir ein möglichst weites Feld an Literatur zu erschließen. Alle Epochen, alle Genres, mit besonderer Vorliebe für die Postmoderne und Science-Fiction. Wenn ich deutschsprachige Bücher lese, sind auch meine Kommentare und Rezensionen auf deutsch.

Ganz ehrlich, ich konnte dieses Buch nur in kleinen Dosen lesen. Allzu stringent (und damit deprimierend) ist die Herleitung, wie KI die Entwicklungen des neuen Faschismus fördert.
@amberherbert@bookwyrm.social I cheated a little: I read the original, but I also had a German translation as an e-book and looked up some of Joseph's difficult sentences there. Funny enough, the translator had imitated the accent by using a German dialect. But I understood that a little better 😊

@amberherbert@bookwyrm.social this really is a great novel (though I had some problems to understand Joseph's yorkshire accent)

These two agents behave strange, I don't like them. The idea of placing secret messages in living animals freaks me out. If "to break the seal" means clubbing a pinniped to death, just for the pun of it, I'm out
Habe ich schon mal gelesen, wird heute Abend vorgelesen. Die Ausgabe der Insel-Bücherei mit Zeichnungen von Egon Schiele ist eines der schönsten Bücher in meinen Regalen.

This is confusing. I usually read rather old-school science fiction. It's interesting, though.

How everything you ever love will reject you or die. Everything you ever create will be thrown away. Everything you’re proud of will end up as trash.

I don't even know where to begin to describe this novel. Is it satiric? Is it a thriller? Or is it a dark comedy? It's one of these book that let's you take a look into to the abyss of human existence, but it's not really serious either. There's this guy who is bored with life, and then he meets Tyler Durban. They do some really weird shit, one of it is founding the Fight Club, where ordinary people fight 'til they're bleeding, just for the fun of it, or to feel they are alive. But Tyler also has some really mad ideas. If you don't mind some gory scenes, I can absolutely recommend this little novel.
