I have read Capitol, Hot Sleep, and the Worthing Chronicle, so much of this novel was not new. However, the presentation and format was different, and there is definitely new material that adds to the story. Much of the Capitol - Worthing - Somec story is a dystopian tale. Sometimes the stories are depressing or hard to read. However, I have found value in each one. The book is centered around one large narrative, which pieces together some short stories of the past, and then closes with some more short stories. I find something magical, mystical, and sometimes a little prophetic in this story of characters. One of the greatest things I get from Card's writing is instruction on human behavior and how people act in certain situations. Often this is painful, sometimes it is revelatory, and rarely it is victorious. I think this mirrors how our own lives go. We stumble through life with family, friends, and acquaintances and (for myself) seem to follow this pattern. Consider me a fan of Orson Scott Card. More specifically, consider me a fan of most of the books he wrote in the 80's and 90's. The Worthing Sage is from that era and is a crafty blend of science fiction and fantasy, and it succeeds in addressing themes generally out of reach for other genres. Through the scientific magic of somec, a drug that allows for extended periods of ageless sleep, one can now exist past a normal life span, and, with the right technology, one can also travel immense interstellar distances to colonize worlds across the galaxy. This is the story of Jason Worthing's journey across time and through space, and of the new world he built and would ultimately alter it forever. This book is actually a compilation of an earlier novel, The Worthing Chronicle, and a series of short stories starring some of the secondary characters. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

It was a miracle of science that permitted human beings to live, if not forever then for a long, long time. Somec created two societies: that of people who lived out their normal span and died and those who slept away the decades, skipping over the intervening years. It allowed great plans to be put into motion. It allowed interstellar empires to be built. It came near to destroying humanity. After a long, long time of decadence and stagnation, a few seed ships were sent out to save our species. Each carried human embryos and supplies and teaching robots and one man. The Worthing Saga is the story of one of these men, Jason Worthing, and the world he found for the seed he carried. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Ami még számomra érdekes volt, hogy több olyan motívum is szerepelt itt, ami vissza-vissza tér Orson Scott Card későbbi munkáiban.
