I thought "Silver Shoes for a Princess" originally published as a short story in 1979, was a brilliant piece. In a way about Creationism versus Evolution but not heavy-handed at all. Hogan handled the theme with charm and humor, with machine minds on a star ship splitting off into Thinker, Skeptic, Scientist and Mystic encapsulating the debate, with them having used a code in their databanks to recreate--us. That short story heads the first section of Star Child, which expands and continues the story. I found the novel disappointing, partly I suppose, because when it comes to these kinds of debates, I'm with Scientist who seemed to win the first round, while in the expanded novel Mystic takes over too much ground for my tastes. I recently read on the Wiki that in "his later years, Hogan's views tended towards those widely considered "fringe" or pseudoscientific. He was a proponent of Immanuel Velikovsky's version of catastrophism... He criticized the theory of evolution, though he didn't propose theistic creationism as an alternative." I think I see both such concepts in this 1997 novel, and I found that disappointing, and the rest of the novel didn't for me have the freshness and imagination of that first section.

The girl had always been called Taya. Her companion Kort had always been with her. She accepted these things, and why not? They were her world. But Taya wondered why everything she could see beyond the window was so different from all the things inside. She also wondered why the stars never changed if her world was really moving the way her metal friend Kort said it was....Could Kort be wrong? That would be very strange, because Kort knew everything, and he was sure they and the world were moving -- just as she was sure the stars were not. Then one day, when Taya was 12, the World was born anew....Pure science fiction....Arthur Clarke, move over. -- Isaac Asimov Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
