Inhaltsangabe

The brilliant 1969 Hugo Award-winning novel from John Brunner, Stand on Zanzibar, now includes a foreword by Bruce Sterling

Niblock House is a rising executive at General Technics, one of a few all-powerful corporations. His work is leading General Technics to the forefront of global domination, both in the marketplace and politically - it's about to take over a country in Africa.

Donald Hogan is his roommate, a seemingly sheepish bookworm. But Hogan is a spy, and he's about to discover a breakthrough in genetic engineering that will change the world...and kill him.

These two men's lives weave through one of science fiction's most praised novels. Written in a way that echoes John Dos Passos' USA Trilogy, Stand on Zanzibar is a cross-section of a world overpopulated by the billions. Where society is squeezed into hive-living madness by god-like mega computers, mass-marketed psychedelic drugs, and mundane uses of genetic engineering. Though written in 1968, it speaks of now, and is frighteningly prescient and intensely powerful.

Masterful Story

Loved the story, the characters felt like family at the end.
And halfway through hearing it I ordered the book, mainly for the many quoteworty bits.

Listening to this has made me angry, really bad!

I downloaded this audiobook following a recommendation from a colleague. I really tried hard but after roughly a third I gave up listening to this annoying work of non-art. Honestly, I still have to reach out to my colleague and ask him what on earth made him recommend this book.

The author is trying to project from 1968 into a world of 2010. And he does this so simple-minded that I wonder why anyone at the time thought he had been a visionary. There is nothing wrong about foreward-projected utopias (I love Aldous Huxley's Brave New World) but while the author spends words over words of what fashion would have been in the last 25 years of the 20th century his view of women (and other things) is plain stupid.

I mean the book was written in 1968 and extrapolating from there could have resulted in a gender-equal society. Not for this author. All women depicted are dumb, numb, always-available as male sex objects zero-dimension personalities. And with the speaker even over-emphasising this makes at least me angry, when even trying to follow the story.

Which gets us to the even bigger reason NOT TO BUY this book. The story telling oscillates between completely erratic and beyond-boring. I've listened to books on nuclear physics and found them easier to follow. And on the boring parts you wonder what the author is trying to tell you (and when it is going to stop). And this pattern just does not stop. It keeps going and going and going.

As written, I tried hard, but at some point I got that angry wasting life time that I had to stop.
