Review of The Futurological Congress (from the memoirs of Ijon Tichy)

Very weird, but captivating story. Sometimes if fieels like some kind of drug-induced trip... Not like other books I have read from Stanislaw Lem at all. This is possibly not a book for every one, but in my opinion worthwhile to read. It is a short book.

This book contains a number of short stories, that are chronological ordered, content wise.
So stories that play in an earlier time are positioned before stories that play in a later time.
For me, the greater part still reads as a book.
The writer is creates very original ideas and I loved reading it!

This dystopian science fiction novel is about the life of three friends, from childhood until adults. it is more about friendship and human relations and less science fiction. But a wonderful book, that you must absolutely read!
Matto reviewed The Curse of Bigness by Tim Wu
The curse of bigness
In this short and very readable book the writer shows how antitrust laws came to be, why these laws are very important for democracy, and how enforcement or the lack thereof, has developed over time.

This book is about the main character, a woman, constantly referred to as "the girl" and a third person, "the warden". We don't learn their names. It is not a heartwarming story, but very captivating, about life in a world at war, altered by climate change entering an ice age. There are some hints in the book that it could be some kind of nuclear winter.
The story is unsettling, sometimes hallucinogenic, weird. And a total must-read !

Book about life as a writer with some suggestions on how to write and how to become a writer.
In the book, the writer also explains that being a writer impacts your life and how you experiience it, and that that is far more important than having work published.
The book is written in a fun writing style, but with very USA-kind of humor. It stays barabel, though.
