Especially the second time! + Welcome to Dystopia             Temporary Agency3 reviews Rachel Pollack Overlook TP, 1995 Read This Book ! + We Remember the Founders + Wow, a great read! This is a great read that blurs the line between science fiction and fantasy genres! Others have tried melding the supernatural with science fiction (such as Poul Anderson in "Operation Chaos"), but with nowhere near the success of Rachel Pollack. Unlike some other writers, she obviously ...             High Aztech3 reviews Ernest Hogan Mandarin, 1992 Who ever would have thought cyberpunk could be funny? + Desmadreization + Wow! Until the Warren Ellis comic "Transmetropolitan" came along, _High Aztech_ was about the only dollop of mirth in the painfully serious, painfully technophilic, and painfully misogynistic subgenre known as cyberpunk. The fact that the book isn't in print right now is more of an indictment of the ...             Light raid connie williams and cynthia felice5 reviews Cynthia Felice Ace, 1990 A wonderful, light-hearted romp + Darn Good Fun + Mesmerizing + Entertaining + Entertaining             The Fifth Sacred Thing80 reviews Starhawk Bantam, 1994 The Fifth Sacred Thing + Ecofeminist Utopia: Standing the Test of Time In "The Fifth Sacred Thing" enormously popular Pagan author, Starhawk explores two possible futures.

Mostly just about the loveliness. + Gay Themed Science fiction Please do note. If you love science fiction you will enjoy this but it has very progressive themes.

I see that this book has only a 3 star rating and I wonder why. It's an adventurous style of writing with fascinating characters. This may sound strange, but I compare it to watching a King Crimson concert (one just don't always know what's going to happen next so one is sitting on the edge of ...             Slant45 reviews Greg Bear Tor Science Fiction, 1998 Tilted Upward & Sideways & Down + Near-Future SciFi Holds Up Pretty Well 10 Years Later SLANT is an exciting, visionary complicated, detailed, winding novel that has two major flaws: (1) It pales in comparison with the prequel. QUEEN OF ANGELS was one of the best science fiction novels of all time in my opinion (2) The story is hard to follow as is the action. There are so many ...             Brave New World729 reviews Aldous Huxley Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 1998 Open the book and open your eyes (please comment) + This book is more enjoyable with some soma! + Frighteningly Prophetic + Dystopia, i long for thee + Good Book             Ecotopia42 reviews Ernest Callenbach Bantam, 1990 A Great Concept + Ecotechnology for the Masses + A Credible Utopia After reading "Utopias on Puget Sound," I was hooked on the history and all things utopia.

I had the creeps while I was reading it. It reminded me of the movie "Children of Men" and the book "The Giver". The entire time I was reading this book, I kept thinking of a certain female vice presidential candidate. I am afraid that she would love the form of ...             Parable of the Sower107 reviews Octavia E. Butler Aspect, 1995 A Must Read + Fantasic Work of Speculative Fiction + Incredible This was an excellent book. Not only was the scenario peppered with realism, but Butler has a way of pulling her reader into the story with the characters. It is a wonderfully heart-wrenching tale of community and survival. The story is set in an economically destitute America. As the reader, ...             Kiln People (The Kiln Books)84 reviews David Brin Tor Books, 2002 What an incredible world Brin creates! + A great conceit + For clay you are and to clay you shall return. + A sprawling world of a book
