5/29/2023 0 Comments Hominids by Robert J. Sawyer![]() ![]() Sawyer started off the book, in his introduction, by promising us that unlike most trilogies, the second book would not be the weakest. Sawyer definitely uses the medium of his science fiction to shine a light on social, and scientific issues yet, keeps it well contained within the bonds of his stories, so as to not distract from the fact that reading science fiction is supposed to be entertainment. Yet, I decided to listen to I love science fiction that challenges our preconditions and prejudices, as long as it’s not in that condescending, “I have more degrees than you” sort of way. I loved Flashforward, much more than its ill fated television version, and had mixed feelings on Hominids. I found it to be a fascinating opening for a trilogy. I listened to the first book in the series, about an emerging consciousness on the web, about a year ago, in 2010. ![]() Quick Thought: WWW:Watch is thought provoking science fiction at its best, and the audiobook enhances the experience with its dead on performances.
