The Year It Didn't Happen: 01.2012
http://epicdystopia.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Jan 22, 2012. Winterlong by Elizabeth Hand. Once again, this review is going to suffer some because of how long ago I read this book. I'll be caught up to myself soon enough. Elizabeth Hand is generally hit or miss for me, but on this one it was pretty much all hit. I'll be honest, most of the action revolved around violent death and wrongful sex, but this still managed to be a beautiful story. Artsy fartsy for sure, but splashy enough to pull me through it at a run. Links to this post. Jan 7, 2012.

The Year It Didn't Happen: End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov
http://epicdystopia.blogspot.com/2011/05/end-of-eternity-by-isaac-asimov.html
May 4, 2011. End of Eternity by Isaac Asimov. Well now, that wernt half bad. Nothing like a little classic, 50s-style time travel sf to kill an afternoon. Asimov can spin a yarn, and I always enjoy his style. I always enjoy dipping into the classics. There's often a reliance on the Idea, rather than the Story, carrying the main burden. And that's a good thing! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I Have Always Been Reading Dystopian Fiction. The Dark River by John Twelve Hawks (aka, J12H or . The Book of ...

The Year It Didn't Happen: The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer by Neal Stephenson
http://epicdystopia.blogspot.com/2011/05/diamond-age-or-young-ladys-illustrated.html
May 4, 2011. The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer by Neal Stephenson. The Diamond Age: Or, a Young Lady's Illustrated Primer. Absolutely primo modern speculative fiction. After a few different books that I sort of enjoyed and sort of just felt meh about, this one knocked my socks off. Concepts, delicious. Story, engaging. Philosophical meandering, minimal. Characters, fleshy and companionable. Which I didn't enjoy half as much as Diamond Age. To make something of herself? Subscribe to: ...

The Year It Didn't Happen: The Running Man by Stephen King (as Richard Bachman)
http://epicdystopia.blogspot.com/2007/11/running-man-by-stephen-king-as-richard.html
Nov 29, 2007. The Running Man by Stephen King (as Richard Bachman). Ol' Stevie ain't subtle. The points aren't left up to you to figure out, they're all but written in neon: the mass of people will accept anything as long as they are entertained and comfortable, and the most one man can hope to accomplish is near-meaningless gestures at the expense of everything he holds dear. I want to hear a punk concept album built around this book. Well, babe, I think you have a new career brewing- book review. If yo...

The Year It Didn't Happen: Broken Angels by Richard Morgan
http://epicdystopia.blogspot.com/2012/01/broken-angels-by-richard-morgan.html
Jan 7, 2012. Broken Angels by Richard Morgan. That being said, I repeat: fun read. Plenty of nifty little concepts, building seamlessly on the universe Morgan created for his main character Takeshi Kovacs in Altered Carbon. I continue to be both creeped out and fascinated by the concept of your consciousness being transportable or containable. When death is so survivable, true ending becomes even more horrific. By the way, happy new year. Richard K. Morgan. Happy New Year to you, as well. Subscribe to: P...
