Historia
In 2059, two vastly different groups of people portrayed by the compelling trio of Brendan Fraser (Academy Award winner), Luke Kirby (Emmy Award winner), and Vanessa Sears (Dora Award winner) undergo cryonic suspension. While their bodies are frozen, their minds, still active and awake, are uploaded into a massive quantum computer. The first group are all astronauts, about to leave Earth on a one-way interstellar colonization mission. The second group consists of convicted murderers and volunteers who elect to serve their sentences in a virtual-reality prison.

good story, terrible writing
Revisado: 05-08-24
characters were flat, writing was turgid and obvious. It was as if it was written by a teenager

Historia
A rebellious boy's journey through the wilds of urban America and the shrapnel of a self-destructing family - this is the riveting story of a generation told through one dazzlingly poetic new voice. MK Asante was born in Zimbabwe to American parents: a mother who led the new nation's dance company and a father who would soon become a revered pioneer in Black studies. But things fell apart, and a decade later MK was in America, a teenager lost in a fog of drugs, sex, and violence on the streets of North Philadelphia.

Extraordinary
Revisado: 07-23-23
I taught at Crefeld for a decade. Malo Asante graduated the year before I started, so I had heard of him, and met him a few times when he came to Crefeld to read his poetry or share time with our community. I knew his story, but it didn’t really feel it until I read/listened to it.
And wow did I feel it. It made me cry several times, and it made me gasp with deep joy. Especially the voice of his mother, who was so like my own.
Parts of this were difficult for me to listen to. The way many of the young men in his early life talked about and treated women is violent and dehumanizing. As a survivor myself much of it was triggering for me.
But I kept coming back because I saw the man Malo became when he came back to visit Crefeld, and I had read his first book of poetry, which was wonderful
I’m very glad I did. This is a story about love, about the strength of love and it’s power to lead us away from lives of brokenness and towards lives of beauty, strength and connection.

Historia
There are some odd things about Nate’s new apartment. Of course, he has other things on his mind. He hates his job. He has no money in the bank. No girlfriend. No plans for the future. So while his new home isn’t perfect, it’s livable. The rent is low, the property managers are friendly, and the odd little mysteries don’t nag at him too much. At least, not until he meets Mandy, his neighbor across the hall, and notices something unusual about her apartment. And Xela’s apartment. And Tim’s. And Veek’s.

Great Story, But sexist
Revisado: 03-19-22
Great story, but hampered by too many sexist assumptions. All the female characters were described in terms of their sexual
Attractiveness, meanwhile the author rarely even shares the hair color of the male characters.
The people in charge are always male and calm in the face of challenging circumstances. the female
Characters are helpers and generally emotional ets.
If the author had told this exact story, and did so from a less misogynist point of view, it would have been a great read. But sexism, like racism and homophobia, is a real problem for me and for readers like me.

Historia
A play-by-play of the political forces and media culture that vilified and ultimately brought down Hillary Clinton during her 2016 Presidential campaign. The Destruction of Hillary Clinton is an answer to the question many have been asking: how did an extraordinarily well-qualified, experienced, and admired candidate - whose victory would have been as historic as Barack Obama's - come to be seen as a tool of the establishment, a chronic liar, and a talentless politician?

Excellent Analysis
Revisado: 08-03-18
This wonderful book fully explores the role of the media in creating, deploying and perpetuating a deeply skewed vision of Hillary Clinton, one which bore no relation to the actual Hillary Clinton. And it shows how that skewed vision cost us, the American people, a Presidency of warmth, strength and care.
