Four short stories about the near future and the dystopia we're building for ourselves.
A very timely speculative fiction read that kept making me think of the quote from Tim Rodgers "dystopia is already here, it just isn't cute."
Four dystopian novellas about the worst parts of Western society: #enshittification, systemic #racism, dysfunctional #healthcare and sociopathic preppers. Gets increasingly dark.
Homophobic slurs in the second story, model minority. Haven't seen this labelled anywhere else :/
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
