Spoilers follow. “Screwtop”, Vonda N. McIntyre -- An engrossing but not terribly memorable story about life in a prison camp on an alien world. The characters were fairly well done. I particularly liked Gryf – the character with four genetic parents. “The Girl Who Was Plugged In”, James Tiptree, Jr I read this after watching an adaptation of it on the Sci-Fi Channel’s Welcome to Paradox. It was a fairly faithful adaptation which shows, stripped of Tiptree’s hip language, that this is a love story. It is one of the precursors to cyberpunk with the protagonist’s displaced mind, her love affair mediated via a telepresence. It reminded strongly of Frederik Pohl’s classic “Day Million”. (I have no idea if Tiptree was consciously responding to it or not.). Both talk directly to the reader in a chatty, edgy vernacular (though this story is substantially longer) and are love stories made bizarre and rococo by future technologies. I’m not a fan of Tiptree and consider her overrated, but I liked this one. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

I'm vaguely annoyed that TOR decided to insert a random snippet of some up and coming novel (Swordspoint, by Ellen Kushner), in the center, I suppose to add pages (46, give or take a blank page or so). ( )
