Re: Official Review: Transference by B.T. Keaton
Yes, despite some "doom & gloom", B.T. Keaton offered something positive as well, all in a sophisticated story that contains important themes. Thank you for your appreciation.Dentarthurdent wrote: ↑13 Feb 2020, 16:38 Thanks for such a concise review! I'm glad that from it, I was able to learn that the author is not needlessly ghoulish, despite the macabre premise of the book. It annoys me when authors insist on painting a vivid word picture, doubtlessly a red one at that.
The fact that this book also gives one food for thought is what sells it!

I read Ray Bradbury's stories and most information about him in their Italian translations, so I didn't know this definition. Thank you for your appreciation.ButterscotchCherrie wrote: ↑14 Feb 2020, 06:35 You certainly know your sci-fi! Did you know that Ray Bradbury called it "fantasy's robot child"? Fabulous review!

Yes, the idea is that two technologies - faster-than-light travel and soul transfer - would radically change humanity in a few decades. Thank you for your appreciation.Tomah wrote: ↑14 Feb 2020, 12:53 To think that all of this could happen in the 22nd century sounds simultaneously very optimistic and pessimistic. Then again, lots of things have changed drastically in the last few decades alone, so who knows what will happen in a century. The premise is quite intriguing, so I'm interested in reading this one. Thanks for the review!

There is indeed darkness in the story, so I understand it's not for everybody, but I think it's worth it. Thank your for your appreciation.Everydayadventure15 wrote: ↑15 Feb 2020, 08:15 This definitely sounds like a book that gives you a lot to think about. Some of the topics seem a little dark, but thanks for the great review!

Sometimes I think that dystopian stories have become too popular, as it means that it's easier to see future with pessimism. Thank you for your comment!

Yes, B.T. Keaton uses that premise to offer some food for thought about important themes. Thank your for your appreciation.unamilagra wrote: ↑17 Feb 2020, 19:46 This is a very interesting (and scary premise). It sounds like this book tackles a lot of important themes. Thanks for a great review!
