A SIGN I N SPACE

A SIGN I N SPACE

This story seems to follow a man that has control of the universe similar to the last story I read. He seems to be going back to what he had created before ex the milky way. and is amazed that its still there. he picks up on signs and the story ends with him coming to the conclusion that he really servers no purpose and that space it self my not exist. I thought the idea was kind of cool, that this person has this power but over time does realize that is it really doing anything? It makes you think that is what you are doing anything at all? Do you really hold a purpose in life? Or are you just here based on chance? 

GAME WITH OUT END

GAME WITH OUT END

Very interesting story about child like characters that play with the power of atoms. I got the idea that these children were like gods. Who were playing with powers of atoms. They were playing games but on a galactic level. The children play games but start to understand that the games will have no end they would never catch each other. It was a never ending circle short of symbolic to how the universe acts if you ask me. I thought the story was an interesting concept, it should that even on a child like level how things  moved in patterns and sort of acted a story based on myths. 

CYBER PUNK by Bruce Sterling.

CYBER PUNK by Bruce Sterling.

Very interesting article of the rise of a genera. I find it very interesting to hear the story of how a genres begin and the mentality and minds of the people with in the group.  It talked about how it had a cult. Also the idea of how other stories would be interpreted in the genera. Such as Frankenstein. I was able to connect much better with the idea, but I got me thinking. How many other stories has this genera fully reaped off, and at its core what is this really as its grown an evolved overtime. From its small cult roots. Is this something new? Or the same thing just with a new skin.  To be far you could put this on most other genera.

ALL AT ONE POINT

ALL AT ONE POINT

this one I had a better feel for. I got the idea that this was a small group of indviduals that were stuck inside some kind of ship or somthing like that. it seems to do do witht the idea of people acting out on there stertipyes and there realtionships with other cultuers, for example the  Z'zus were called out as immigrants, but towards the end of the story I had trouble where ph(i)Nk0s gets killed or bursted into nothing, I didnt know why this was happening and it really had me confused as well.

AT DAYBREAK

AT DAYBREAK

I had a real hard time with this one. I didn't really know what was going on most of the time. At first I thought it was about a kid and his family who were traveling threw space and came across this nebula, but as the story went on, it turned into they were on the nebula as for some reason the family got split up. The story feels very dream like with lots of things happening making it hard for me to understand what was going on at the moment. Even at the end I was lost with the talk of earth and I didn't know if they were looking at earth from the nebula or if they were back on it.

Warbreaker

The plot for me was very deep and complicated I think a little to complicated for the time frame that we needed to read it in. the story of two sisters and that one is to be married to a god so that Idris can have enough time to secure his defenses if the god decides to attack. he instead sends his youngest to Siri. Then its a journey of Vivenna trying to save Siri from her fate.  I mean I love fantasy novels as much as the next guy, but when a book gets this involved I get lost, and I also can't really start to believe it. Theirs nothing tangible in the novel that I can relate to, and maybe thats the appeal for some that really enjoy these novels. Its so out there. It's for these reason mostly, that keeps me away from most fantasy novels. I think stories like the golden compass and Harry Potter have these dementions that slowly bring you into the fantasy, so that the reader can start to get involved into the story and can realty at some level. 

The Graveyard

The Grave yard. I kinda had a hard time with his one. The story kept jumping around which was a little difficult, but all in all it was ok.  After the young boy. Nobody enters the grave yard he is then brought up by the dead, which I found to be a very interesting concept to push a story. Its like a story where a young child is bring brought up by there grandparents or aunt or uncle, theres that disconnect because there not really your parents. Of course these is brought to a whole new level that really pushes the concept further.
