NEW DIRECTIONS IN SCIENTIFICTION – A Novel
Alien Buddha Press 2019
My previous review of an Andrew Darlington book here: https://dflewisreviews.wordpress.com/2016/03/19/a-saucerful-of-secrets-andrew-darlington/
When I read this book, my thoughts will appear in the comment stream below…
I have now already read some of this book and decided to continue reading it outside the scope of my public real-time reviewing. It is of a genre style when in long novel form that I feel unsuitable for such an approach by me, as I am not confident I can do justice to it by this means, but I can already recommend it to those who would like to try a truly hyper-imaginative journey, one that will likely blow all the implants in your mind!
I bought this new book, one I very much look forward to continue reading, because I love the author’s story collection that I earlier reviewed, as linked above.
Just one further thought, as I proceed reading the book quietly (inner-noisily) to myself. This seems to be a landmark SF book, with definitions of words as well as slick plot about implants thinking your mind, a perfect example of what I call hyper-imaginative literature. It is just that I am more than slightly out of my genre review depth void. A cross between poetic Joyce/Sneyd and projected PKDick/Doc Smith? Potentially a reading journey of a lifetime. Traditional as well as utterly ground-breaking – paradoxically. Best to read it in due duration to your mixed yourselves, too, without any accompaniment from the likes of me and my various intrusive selves.
