Strange.
This is a peculiar novel where the lines between reality and the rest is blurred greatly. I skimmed through the parts where there was too much theory. I believe the author was fascinated by something but I also feel like he failed in conveying that excitement.
There are may parts that are meant to be thought provoking. The story talks a lot about architecture that makes life terribly predictable and guarantees security. The book assumes that leaving things up to chance is not okay. Since I disagree with this basic presumption, the book was a tough read to finish.
Not recommendable.

J.G. Ballard lite. I'd have liked it more if it was longer and dug a bit deeper. Explores notions around social disasters and building to survive them.

May 2, 2024“Levende på en mærkelig klode”
Jeg har ikke læst denne bog, men Jacobs nyeste essay udgivelse som ikke er til at finde her. “Levende på en mærkelig klode. Mennesket i et planetært perspektiv.”
En helt igennem fantastisk sammensmeltning af planetær og astrofysisk viden, kombineret med historisk sci-fi , kunst og filosofi.
Perspektiv rigdom og et genialt forsøg på at fremkalde nødvendige ambitioner og billeder på en verden hvor mennesket tager sig selv ned fra pedestalet og ydmygt anerkender at vi ikke er over resten af verden, men af en del af et stort hele, vi må og skal respektere og vise omsorg for.
