so-soThe genre is definitely 'weird sci-fi'.
A dystopian novel where a scientific genius from Iceland changes the world with his breakthrough tech. A lot of original ideas in here but they don't form enough of a coherent story line for me.
I liked the idea of becoming a literal shooting star instead of being buried after death.
Skyr has been eaten in honor of Iceland month :D

1. Done. It's dystopian - a genre I stay away from under all circumstances. Most of them feel too creepy, I guess. Don't know why I picked up this one - but it was hilarious despite of its premise.
2. 😱🔪💊😶🌫️😮🤔⁉️
3. (psychological thrillers, suspense) - Because I like not knowing what's happening next in books and movies.
4. Cover art, mostly.
Thanks for the tag, @hannah-leeloo !😊

so-soNo joke, I was already composing my ecstatic Pick review of this Icelandic near future science fiction novel when, about 30 pages from the end, it stumbled HARD and never fully recovered.
Snaer introduces some fascinating ideas and then just abandons them for a few goofy and completely unearned plot twists to wrap up the story. The message of this book that I once thought was so brilliant basically amounts to "Commercials suck, am I right?"
Weird Icelandic science fiction!
Voted "Novel of the Year" by Icelandic booksellers in 2002!
Comparisons to Orwell, Vonnegut, and Douglas Adams!
