Radicalized is a story of a darkweb-enforced violent uprising against insurance companies told from the perspective of a man desperate to secure funding for an experimental drug that could cure his wife's terminal cancer.
The fourth story, Masque of the Red Death, harkens back to Doctorow's Walkaway, taking on issues of survivalism versus community.
Cuatro historias bastante distintas. De acuerdo con lo que comentó alguien de que la primera y tercera son las mejores, tal vez por ser más cercanas. Voy a leer algún libro más del autor antes de saltar a otra cosa.
¿Alguna otra recomendación de lectura de Cory Doctorow? Estaba pensando en empezar Red Team Blues 🤔
Doulle tres estreliñas ⭐ e non catro porque as dúas últimas historias parecéronme algo máis frouxas, pero déixanse ler mentras presentan escenarios non tan improbables.
As dúas primeiras parecéronme mellor compostas, con máis profundidade no relato e os personaxes mellor debuxados.
Fun comentando individualmente cada relato, mira na cronoloxía.
Si, o máis inquientante é que son historias que adquiren verosimilitude hoxe, non a medio prazo.
Me encantan los relatos de ciencia ficción y cómo cuentan tanto en pocas páginas. Estos 4 de Doctorow son geniales, distopías basadas en los problemas actuales de la humanidad y de Estados Unidos en particular
