Welcome to Litsy!

38/100 I love books like this, written in 1977, envisioning the world of 2000, but looking back from 2025 and seeing how off the author's vision came to be. Sadly, no hovercars or helio-jets for the police, no Universal Credit Cards to replace money, no instant purchases delivered to your home by vaccum tube. It's still a fun read, although too short for any character development. 3 ⭐⭐⭐💫 #Read2025

This was better than I thought it‘d be. I disliked the ending most; I always felt like Mockingjay‘s ending was rushed, and this felt similar. Still a good read if you like the Hunger Games books!

Can you guess what I did this cold and rainy day

This was a great read. It definitely got my heart racing throughout. It definitely had an Orwell feel to it. It was truly worth the read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This novel captures well the feeling that the tech-bro-owned companies inspire in me...that sense that the world is worse for how they do things but also that there's so little one can do to resist them. And really, what's the alternative? My attempts at resistance remind me of the "Flaming Moe's" episode of The Simpsons where Homer yells, "You just lost yourself a customer!" but the bar is so full, Moe can't hear him. But I still try.

I first read this book in my freshman year of high school (ten years ago!). It was one of my favorites and I loved the movie too. I reread it again just to see if it was as good as I remembered it being, and it was a great reread! What I liked most about the reread is that it felt simple and not overly complex. It was a relaxing read for me, although I was very upset at rereading the death of Chuck 😭😭

3.5/5

I listened to this audiobook (narrated by an excellent Wil Wheaton) while spring cleaning, and it was somehow perfectly attuned to the strangeness, absurdity & atmosphere of dire calamity that characterize our world today. To be clear, it's about what would happen if the moon suddenly and inexplicably turned into cheese. Events are seen through the eyes of characters from all walks of life, in vignettes ranging from the silly to the truly poignant

I think that this book is good, but it was not my favorite. All the spiraling in this book had me spiraling with thoughts of where the plot was going. I like the idea of the meaning of the spiral that is found in this book by its characters, but don‘t know how to put it into words to share it with you. The style of this story was not anything like other books I have read.
