She barely speaks, she's mostly unconscious or missing, I think we're supposed to buy that the protagonist loves her, but if so then it's the most atrocious insta-love I've come across. It was more like I can't be sure this guy has ever interacted with a woman before. It wasn't sexist or misogynistic like you'd expect. I'm used to classic sci-fi and the amazing representation women usually get in them, but this was in a galaxy of its own. While some parts of it were incredibly cool, the overall piece was kind of a hot mess.Īnd I can't leave this without talking about the only woman character in this book.
And basically, we follow a guy around, he's not sure whether or not he's a robot, he does some pretty bizarre things, he finds a doorway leading to a place where physics is kinda/sorta broken (the mystery part), then I guess he kinda/sorta solves the mystery (it was not satisfying), but not before we get like 50 pages of semi-philosophical, anti-communist, AND anti-capitalist ranting.
But then there're 50 pages of boring, then we get to the intriguing physics mystery part. Like, I really wanted to know what happened next.
There's a great scene where everyone's being shuffled through some sort of mission briefing conveyor belt? I dunno, it was really visually interesting and well told. This theory was not taken seriously by physicists.What even was this? I'd describe this book as a physics mystery? The start of the novel was very intriguing. A non-science fiction book, in which the author presents his vision of the " General Theory of Everything", i.e., the unifying theory for all physical aspects of the universe.Jednolita teoria czasoprzestrzeni ("The Uniform Theory of the Spacetime") (1990).Arka ("The Ark") (Czytelnik, Warszawa 1989).Według łotra ("According, to the Thief") (Wydawnictwo Literackie, Kraków 1978).He was the prototype of Sneer, the main character of Limes inferior, one of the novels by Janusz A. His novel Robot was first published in English in 2021 in a translation by Tomasz Mirkowicz, who died in 2003. Adam Wiśniewski-Snerg (1 January 1937 – 30 August 1995) was a Polish science fiction author.Īlthough unpopular during his life, after his suicide he became recognized as one of the most significant authors of Polish SF.
