Beitritt 1 Monat, 2 Wochen her

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.

Recently moved here from bookwyrm.social.Trying to explore a wide range of literature, especially fiction. All periods and genres, with a preference for postmodern literature and science fiction. When I read english books, my comments and reviews will be in english as well.

Schwere Kost - Leider allzu stringent in der Darstellung

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 😊

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

A glimpse into the abyss

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.
