Web: Betroelser om en truet art

by Tor Åge Bringsværd

Dette er fortellingen om den store krigen, som menneskene tapte og maskinene vant. Det er fortellingen om noen få spredte stammer av mennesker langt mot nord, og om edderkoppene som hersker over verden. Det er fortellingen om reisen til byen Vivaldi, og om å forstå verden slik den ble etter Overgangen, da alt gikk i stykker og de åttebeinte overtok. Dette er fortellingen om tråder, nett, knuter, minner, myter og linjer. Dette er Web.

About the author

Tor Åge Bringsværd was an author, playwright, editor, and translator and is perhaps best known for his speculative fiction. Together with long-time partner Jon Bing, he was also considered the first Norwegian author to write science fiction literature. Bringsværd regarded himself as an anarchist, which is clearly reflected in some of his works. He is also known for his distinctive style of writing, for example, his seemingly random jumps to narratives or anecdotes with no clear relationship to the main story.

Reviews

[Eivind · Rating 4 out of 5]

Lettlest språk, men ikke nødvendigvis så lett å forstå. Heller ikke lett å vite hva som kommer til å skje. Det er etter ødeleggelsen, tross alt. Handlingen er spennende og uforutsigbar nok, og de ulike formatene og tonene er interessante - dog kanskje tidvis litt like. Og boka blir kanskje litt enkel i tankene den gir deg (som en kanskje kan driste seg til å kalle et budskap)?

The book description gives an interesting vibe. I will say that this book has an interesting plot, but is just dead. There is nothing vivacious about this book, in fact I was so disappointed in that aspect. I was utterly bored throughout the entire book, and the force myself to complete this. I would not recommend it to others, but others might have a different opinion on this book.
