Snow Crash  By Neal Stephenson  Published Year: 1992 Page Count: 574 pages  Medium Used: Kindle PW  Genre: Classics, Science Fiction, Mythology, History, WWII,Fantasy, Hard Science, Mafia, Action, Drugs, Thriller, Metaverse, 2026-read.  Rating: 4.5/5 😃😃😃😃🥳 I enjoyed it very much. Atleast for the major part. But I also felt restless and dissociated when Hiro Protagonist, our main character, is talking to the librarian in the Metaverse about religion and drawing parallels with virus propagation in humans. I didn't know if I had to laugh or take them seriously. How can they compare believers of a certain faith having cult prostitution or breast feeding, spreading viruses through their bodily fluids to those doing it in the computer world? Felt outrageous to me. What is this listening on radio waves from other planets for metavirus and spreading it to the humans over? These weird comparisons and analogies, I just couldn't stomach. The last 50 pages are solid mi...

 Hyperion  (Hyperion Cantos #1) By Dan Simmons  Hugo Award Winner  Published Year: 1989 Page Count: 500 pages  Medium Used: Kindle Scribe  Genre: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Time Travel, Time Tombs, Shrike, SFF, Historical Fiction, Anthology, 2026-read.  Rating : 4.65/5 😀😀😀😀🤑 The story runs at present time ( of the narrative ) where seven individuals from different walks of life are called to go on a pilgrimage to an isolated planet Hyperion. They have very little in common excepting that they are all acquainted with Shrike ( the immortal being of the planet Hyperion which is called the Lord of pain and God of redemption like a hindu Kalki avatar) and Hyperion in some way. Some have direct experience with it while others knew of someone who did. Through their stories we get to know of the various aspects of the planet and also the setup of the universe they inhabit in the 28th century. I felt that this is a very unique way of not only getting to kno...

A Journey Through Time by H.G Tannhaus Book Review

 A Journey Through Time  (Eine Reise durch die Zeit) By H.G.Tannhaus  Published Year:  Page Count: 270 pages  Medium Used: Kindle PW  Genre : Multiverse, Science Fiction, Time Travel, Watches, 2024-read.  Rating : 4/5  A very interesting book. This is the book that is carried around and much shown in the Netflix Series : Dark. The author Tannhaus names one of the main characters after his name. This book deals in time travel and shows the nonlinearity of time and how altering a time line could result in alternative worlds/dimensions. The translation from German to English is decent..although at places, the translator got the grammer and gender pronouns wrong. This kind of confused me a bit and I had to re-read few sentences to understand the meaning.  For someone who is new to the concept of time travel and multiverse, this narrative could become quite incomprehensible. I didn't quite follow why the heroic feats need the main character, Charl...
