The best recent fantasy, horror and science fiction – review roundup
/z/scifi_books • Posted by revicon • 2 years ago
Summary:
  • In Certain Dark Things (Jo Fletcher, 16.99) she reworks the vampire romance as a sleek and brutal noir thriller set in Mexico City.
  • Moreno-Garcias critical perspective on romance narratives and her love of noir keep the story balanced on a knife edge between hope and horror.
  • The fantasy of quick and easy transfer of mind/soul/personality into other bodies is a staple of science fiction.
  • These examples of science fiction realism include self-driving cars, quantum computing, virtual reality, robots and software.
  • The tone throughout is positive, even utopian, but when it comes to the inevitable losses of millions of jobs, not even science fiction can provide a map for a social transition to prioritise human need over greed.
