Ложная слепота
Питер Уоттс
Jocelyn_Phoenix7 февраля 2026 г.I probably understood like a half of it at most, but boy was it glorious.
The book is as if a textbook on astrophysics, on advanced biology, and on philosophy had a horror-flavoured baby with a dash of linguistic. It involves a lot of looking stuff up and it will make your brain hurt on occasion, but it will also make it tingle pleasantly way more often. It also has a decent, if somewhat slow, plot and an epic showdown to wrap things up.
The world building is insane. It has interstellar travels, augmented humans, aliens, and vampires, and somehow it all works well together. Although it gets a tad frustrating at times, I like that we don’t get exposition dumps, and a lot of things have to be inferred or gathered from bits and pieces from all over the book.
The thoughts on consciousness and what it is and what it is for and trying to imagine the aliens from this book broke my brain a bit.
This is definitely not an easy read, but for me it was thoroughly satisfying.445
