Fra un Holden debosciato e il prequel di American Psycho, un climax più sottile, ugualmente inesorabile.

For sure, "The diamond age" does not lack Stephenson's topoi - an anarchic, fragmented earth, a futuristic scenario halfway between cyber- and steam-punk. Seemingly not too far from his debut in scifi land, "Snow Crash". Yet it feels fresh.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Brilliant. How to take a 200 years old novel of manners and make it into a romantic comedy with zombies, borrowing the tagline from "Shaun of the Dead".
Rather suprisingly, brain-chewing monsters (integral part of the british landscape, as everybody knows), gore (often uncalled for, yay!), sexual d ... (continue) - — Jan 6, 2012 | Add your feedback

Dopo un thriller "ecologico", qual era "Zodiac", Neal Stephenson si avventura per la prima volta nel suo peculiare tipo di fantascienza che ne decreterà il successo.
In "Snow Crash" al centro della scena è Hiro Protagonist, che fra mondi reali e virtuali (il Metaverso) cerca di scoprire cosa c'è die ... (continue) - — Jan 15, 2012 | Add your feedback
