Everytime I picked up this book, I was afraid of what I might read in it so I postponed finishing it.
Being raised in a country that is somehow similar to the distopia in 1984, I could very much relate to the book. There is a lot of similarities but of course it is still a work of fiction.

This book has something in it that I really like. I don't know what it is, maybe it's my predilection towards human brain.
"Traditionally, we assume that humans are rational decision makers: they absorb information, process it, and come up with an optimal answer or solution. But real humans don’t operate this way. Even judges, striving for freedom from bias, are imprisoned in their biology."

It is very interesting to me how some people find this book not interesting.

It is very interesting to me how some people find this book not interesting. It has been challenging everything I've believed in and I like it.

اين ژانر خيلي باب ميل من نيست و خوندن اين كتاب واقعا ازم انرژي ميبره. راستش سمفوني مردگان منو به يه جاي خيلي تاريكي برد كه از اخرين باري كه خوندمش تا الان، دوباره دستم نگرفتمش تا تمومش كنم.

The conscious you is only the smallest part of the activity of your brain. Your actions, your beliefs and your biases are all driven by networks in your brain to which you have no conscious access.

The slice of reality that we can see is limited by our biology.

بله... سبك سمفوني مردگان با من سازگار نيست. البته تا آخرش پيش ميرم و اميدوارم پايانش برام جالب باشه حدقل.

به قول آقا پيمان، اين كتاب تبليغات قوي اي داشته...

آيدا تاي آيدين بود. خوش خنده و شيطون و پرسر وصدا. علاوه بر اينها ،بيش از حد زيبا بود و اين باعث ميشد پدر هربه ايامي نگران او باشد.
بعدها دختري خودخور، صبور، درهم شكسته و غمگين به خانه شوهر رفت كه اسمش آيدا بود.

اين اولين كتابيه كه از معروفي شروع كردم به خوندن. هنوز به نثرش عادت ندارم و برام سواله كه چرا براي خيلي ها سمفوني مردگان داستان جالبي داره. دوستان اگه ميتونيد منو با نظراتتون راهنمايي كنيد من روشن شم.

This book is very informational
I get bored pretty fast when I read an informational book, so when I’m reading this one I give myself some time after finishing 2 3 pages! But since the information is very interesting I keep going.

“indiscriminate friendliness”.
This part reminded me of homeless labor children in my country. They’d beg for your attention, to buy something from them and maybe give them a treat. They’d try to rub their face to your hands, but everyone thought that’s an act of stealing something from your pockets! Not knowing it’s much, much deeper than that...
Oh god! What a book

What bothers me about the way the story is going; I’m not that interested in how Julia feels every 5minutes, I’m more interested in what she’s going to say about the main subject here.

Well, I can’t follow the one in a row style! Like one episode is the war era and the next is the present. I started reading the present episodes after I read half of the war section and the present is just a little boring for me.

So far, so good! It explains every step you take. It starts with an example and goes from there explaining each step. If you're stuck somewhere, there are photos helping you understand it better!

The reason I got interested to this book is the series "Westworld" and doctor Ford's narrative "journey into night". Let's see what all the fuss is about!

من خوندن قمارباز رو امروز شروع كردم. كتابي كه در حال خوندنش هستم به ترجمه جلال آل احمد و انتشارات كوله پشتي هستش و يكي از كتابايي بوده است كه در كتابخونه ام در حال خاك خوردن بود اينه كه رفتم سراغش. خاطرم نيست چه سالي خريدمش فقط يادم مياد اولين باري بود كه تنها به نمايشگاه كتاب ميرفتم و هيچ اطلاعي از قمارباز نداشتم فقط ميدونستم داستايوفسكي نويسنده ي معروفيه.

Alright at this point I say Dead Zone is a predictable book.
I can guess what's gonna happen in the end but I'll wait and see maybe there will be a SURPRISE!
