  • The kind of sci fi I like to see

    By Swimmyswimswim
    I’m a bit picky with sci fi, but this book really has all the elements that appeal greatly to me. A fascinating but also wacky speculative future that touches on its implications and seems alarmingly prescient considering the current social media-obsessed state of our society. The Disney world stuff is really well integrated with just the right amount of absurdity (I couldn’t stop giggling over the freaking Hall of Presidents) but the real star of the show is the bromance between the main character and his best friend. In a utopian society where people have conquered death with technology and clout is the only currency that seems to matter, their friendship really grounds the story. I’m looking forward to reading more of the other books this author has published.
