Chargement... The Turing Testpar Chris Beckett
![]() Aucun Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre. http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/1385963.html it is very good; I like Beckett's writing for the same reason I like Brian Aldiss, that very English way of looking askance at the world as it is and as it could be. Particular gems here include the fading provincial horrors of 'Monsters', 'Karel's Prayer' which is a Philip K. Dick piece for our times, and 'The Marriage of Sky and Sea' whose unpleasant protagonist gets exactly what he asks for. There's also a flattering introduction by Alastair Reynolds. Well worth hunting down. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

A perceptive start, though, but it did not tempt me to read the author's other work. (
