I'll jump on board with the support for Kavalier and Clay. That book is Chabon at his best.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:i read it like 12 years ago, so i’ve forgotten enough for it to feel freshdad wrote:I’ll have to check this out then.

Space Invaders is the story of a group of childhood friends who, in adulthood, are preoccupied by uneasy memories and visions of their classmate Estrella González Jepsen. In their dreams, they catch glimpses of Estrella’s braids, hear echoes of her voice, and read old letters that eventually, mysteriously, stopped arriving. They recall regimented school assemblies, nationalistic class performances, and a trip to the beach. Soon it becomes clear that Estrella’s father was a ranking government officer implicated in the violent crimes of the Pinochet regime, and the question of what became of her after she left school haunts her erstwhile friends. Growing up, these friends―from her pen pal, Maldonado, to her crush, Riquelme―were old enough to sense the danger and tension that surrounded them, but were powerless in the face of it. They could control only the stories they told one another and the “ghostly green bullets” they fired in the video game they played obsessively.

Probably! Have you read this one? I stumbled across it while searching for what Wimmer has translated recently.

Random stuff from post apocalyptic land...
Pretty good but not really my thing. Won't continue but it was worth a read.
I can see how it's been influential. A bit tedious in the middle, but overall I liked it.
Thought it would be nice to revisit these since they are on audible now. I read a few of these (There are over a hundred, and all basically the same) about twenty years ago. Classic trash.

Heavy stuff. Hard sci-fi novel about a transhuman future trying to communicate with aliens.
Themes of consciousness, language, identity, game theory, AI. It's even got vampires!

It helps if you get the slipcover edition where its broken into three volumes rather than one big book. It's really three novellas, an admittedly brutal fourth section, and then a short novel to close.
