No, that’s a story I am not familiar with. What should I google ?

Car usage at a societal level, drug dependency if you want to read more.

On the positive side: I really enjoyed how it switched at the end between the third person (that gave a feeling of impartiality) to a first person, basically admitting bias along the text.

On the critical side: to make it a bit relatable,the reader needs to understand why you would ride a behemoth, and here most of the writing is about the negatives, so it’s hard to take the warning seriously. The reader is brought to think “Nobody would be that stupid! We will just handle it better” - a slightly more nuanced approach would make it more insidious and believable as a threat I think. In particular the final with the crazied king is over the top…

Overall: well build, good rhythm and nice idea. I ho sempre enjoyed the read! Thanks!

I enjoyed the read, thanks! Are you interested in constructive criticism?

Outside of fantasy, actually very far from it: « Consider the lobster » is a collection of essays on mundane stuff, highlighting the weirdness of everyday (or not really everyday) life, such as fairs and cruises and porn.

I loved it, it’s very reflexive - that some people find hard to read, others relaxing. If you think it might be your style, it’s absolutely worth a read !

Everything by Le Guin is pure gold! I will add this one to my reading list, but I lived “The Dispossessed “ as political science-fiction, while “the left hand of the darkness” explores gender and prejudices, and “earthsea” is a series of coming of age novels. Every is so good

Me too! I haven’t read the second one because I don’t want to invest too much in a series that doesn’t go anywhere (yet?). But as soon as number 3 comes out, I’ll read all of them.

That’s really interesting! I never thought of it, thanks for sharing and for explaining it so clearly. I’ll play more attention while reading and watching to check this.

That’s an interesting take. Why do you think the order of the closure is important? I never thought about it…

I also find the form of the writing to be very important! Can you give an example of particularly good prose?
