Scrittura spigolosa e complessa, come mettere in parole una pittura di Balla o di Braque, ma anche densa di richiami letterari (da Gogol a Dostojevsky) e spunti satirici e caricaturali. Una storia d'amore e di rivolta in un futuristico III millennio. ...more

Leggendo questo libro diventa chiaro se mai c'erano dei dubbi che l'innovazione e il progresso tecnologico è in mano a pochi (ricerca in ambito militare e non con fondi enormi da parte di colossi economici multinazionali) e che "l'umanità" ne ha bene ...more

Diciamo che la storia si rivaluta con il finale neanche tanto a sorpresa ma è stata dura arrivarci nonostante il messaggio forte e chiaro di fondo. Scrittura un po' caotica, poco incisiva e allettante per i miei gusti. "Che mondo è quello in cui la n ...more
