Kundo Wakes Up

Kundo Wakes Up by Saad Z. Hossain

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


*** Possible Spoilers ***

I found this to be a remarkably interesting book although the pacing was rather slow so if you like lots of action, you may want to try something else. The world-building is impressive and the various twists and turns in the plot held my interest. It's dystopian insofar as climate changed has largely destroyed a city. People manage as best they can and AI provides assistance although it acts violently towards the lower classes. Gaming has risen to something close to a cult and through a computer game one can reach the realm of magic. The book poses the interesting question, if you could live forever in a perfect unchanging world would you want to? Personally I might find it tempting but these characters had other ideas. In any event, the book provides a good story and permits the reader to thing. Although slow it was quite enjoyable and I would recommend it, just not to those who want lots of action.
