Michel Nieva and his novel, Dengue Boy
We read all sorts of scientists in the book club, from the classic slice of the dystopical fiction of Octavia E. Butler, Sow parableAdrian Tchaikovsky’s exploration Alien clay. Michel Nieva’s Dengue boy (And that’s not for you to read article: Spoilers before!) It was something else completely: a strange and technical view of a dreadful future.
I dreamed of Nieva’s world in the world of Nieva’s wild inventions I loved in the wild part of this novel. Antarctic ice is a place that has disappeared in 2197 and the sea levels “Patagonia – a regionalized forest, lakes and glaciers transformed the temporary small islands and glaciers.”
It is a place, “Thanks to the full deforestation of all the forests of Amazon and China and all African forests, hundreds of thousands of thousands of thousands appeared every year”. And the endless and terrible ingenuity of humanity means that people are negotiating in the financial virus index. Produced by quantum computers, that is 99.99% of the following new viruses, which would dissolve a new pandemic, but also provide shares in companies to benefit and market the packages that sell it like HotCakes “. Brilliant idea!
I think the writing of Nieva (Returned by Rahul byk) from time to time jumping to high levels. At one point, our protagonist is early to school (because he can fly there, unlike his classmates in traffic). “There’s still a few minutes to wait for a few minutes, not knowing what to do with his excess corporation.” Excess Corporation! What a glorious APT description for this miserable mosquito.
Since the end of it has been with me, in the view of a large ice gallery of Nieva, as super-rich can go to see the parts of the ancient ice floats. “Unable to walk in the Great Iceberg gallery and don’t get sudden weight of the world in his childhood.
And I only admire Nieva for thinking of the mind of a mosquito killer. I think it greatly draws this, and I liked what my sympathy wanted to be like that “the protagonist” of our “homicide”, and the middle drop the actions.
Some of you also saw a lot of positives in the novel. “South America is magical realism than science fiction, I am enjoying it (Gabriel García Márquez, Italo Calvino and Umberto Eco). They are different genres” Facebook GroupWhere all these comments are. “It’s rare, surreal and allegorical and I think it works pretty well.”
For Terry James, the beginning of the book was a difficult start to accept the protagonist of Nieva’s mosquito (and his terrible size) – and then you have to deal with “rough language”. But Terry was glad that he continued. “I read more, the more I enjoyed it. The inner fight of the poor was very effective among the stretches of the absurdity, privilege and prosperity.” He wrote. “This book is creative.”
When David Jones nailed “he didn’t read comfortably”, but “he had a lot of fun.” “It’s a satirical and relatively bright view of the future. A day to read and a day I felt a day to digest the day,” he wrote.
But, perhaps, that is, because I am not knowledgeable in Steampunk, as the novel describes its cover, I liked it very much. I enjoyed the “excess corporation” mosquitoes that seemed to be difficult to read with violence and sexually depravation scenes. I am a fan of Stephen King – I don’t care for a little horror and gore. But I didn’t understand what attracted what he attracted from the story, completely gross. I hated sheep! He really hated it! (Some people can say: That’s been the point, but I didn’t see the desire for me.)
And I found parts of the novel that our mosquito drifted in his bloody adventures in Borges-Esque “a computer game within a computer game” than within the computer game. That was in the wrong side of the surreal, or I didn’t get it. Terry James also appeared with the “strong” component of the story and failed there. “I call this way of ideology because it is very smart, but it is not significant in a holistic and integrated system,” he wrote.
Overall, the book I would return to me, and I would say that most of our members were more negative than positive. Judith Lazell found “disappointing”. “Sexual fantasy free and undeveloped characters; explicit and flip violence. Maybe that was, although he wrote, although Nieva’s” local environment description “added (it was) added.”
The church was a favorite book Club read so far. Like me, the church was also not a fan of body horror, but they liked the corrupt corporations of the story. “I think he told a story and I think I finished it, but I didn’t need everything gore,” he wrote.
Andy described the story like “common jewelry”, and while he found an interesting concept of Nieva, he could use it much more and more details. “The end was disappointing (not confusing),” Andy wrote. “Overall, I thanked this I’m not sure, that I would end up as if it were a greater novel (and I hate I didn’t end the books … and payable).”
Maybe Andy will not have to pay the next book we have to pay: Larry Niven’s RingworldMany of you have an old classic you can have on your shelves.
