İki Gözüm Galibem – Malta Sürgününden Mektuplar-Fethi Okyar TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Any number of dubious and desperate individuals dwell in the shady underside of the Tokyo megalopolis, and one of the more desperate of his kind is a burned-out former hacker named Henry Dorsett Case. Case was once a top-notch 'cowboy', a talented hacker who was skilled at using a delicate computer interface to directly connect his brain to the global 'cyberspace' network...but his luck ran out when he attempted to skim a little too much off the top of one of his business dealings. His employers retaliated by drugging him with a powerful toxin that fried his nervous system -- leaving him literally burned out, physically incapable of accessing cyberspace. Unable to find a treatment or cure, deprived of the work he enjoys, and increasingly addicted to drugs, Case scrapes together a living as a street dealer and secretly hopes that one of his shady associates will eventually put him out of his misery. Yet when he is approached by a well-dressed man named Armitage and a cybernetically enhanced hired killer named Molly, he receives an offer he'd never thought possible: in exchange for a cure for his damaged nerves, he'll be hired to perform a series of complicated and extremely dangerous hacking jobs with information given only on a need-to-know basis. Case accepts, and is soon back in cyberspace and carrying out the orders he's been given. But Case has been recruited for a purpose that is far more complex than he could have ever imagined, and he soon starts to realise that his efforts are only a small part of a much grander plan that could shake the very foundations of cyberspace as he knows it. I haven't read any of Gibson's other books before, so my first foray into his world required some adjustment. It strongly reminded me of the first time I tried to read A Clockwork Orange: the slang, speech patterns, and other terms used to tell the story were all but incomprehensible to me at the outset. I had to keep going back and checking to be sure that I hadn't missed something crucial. Gradually, though, as I found myself more at ease with the jargon of hackers and 'street samurai', the story increasingly caught my interest (even if I still found myself baffled at times and not always certain of what exactly was going on). That said, I can see why William Gibson's Neuromancer won the science-fiction "triple crown" (the Nebula Award, the Philip K. Dick Award, and the Hugo Award) after being published in 1984. The book vividly illustrates a dirty, seedy fictional future, far removed from the glittering sterility of many sci-fi worlds, where the right price can buy you everything from a new pancreas and liver to a rewired nervous system to an evening with a 'meat puppet', a prostitute who is renting out her body in the most literal of terms (with the help of a computer programme that can induce a trance-like state). The line between human and machine has blurred to such an extent that there is actually a need for an intergovernmental and autonomous organization to keep tabs on machines that have artificial intelligence, just to keep them from becoming too powerful. I really began to get into the story when I started to look at Gibson's characters and consider their various and often fascinating degrees of 'inhumanity', whether physical, emotional, psychological, or moral. It's particularly interesting to read Neuromancer and see where Gibson's ideas have shown up in other things I've seen or read -- the anime series Ghost in the Shell and Bubblegum Crisis, to start. The book is definitely a sci-fi classic, and I do hope that I haven't betrayed my near-complete ignorance of the genre in this review. ^^;;

Çingene Sobası ve Psikiyatrik Bozukluklar 5 - Tahir Özakkaş TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Tarafından yazılmış kitap Tarafından: Psikoterapi Enstitüsü

Rhiannon Davies, known as Non, the main character in this novel, is a wonderful creation. A fascinating character I thought, a strong character, she seems almost ahead of her time. She copes with the two children of her husband’s first marriage, lovely Wil and more difficult Meg, plus another child, the mysterious Osian, who her husband brought into their home and asked Non to accept with no questions asked. On top of this her kind father in law is unwell, and most difficult of all, her husband Davey, recently returned from fighting in World War I, seems to be suffering from what we would now call post-traumatic stress disorder; she finds him each morning in some sort of terrible waking dream, reenacting some wartime shooting incident and hiding under the kitchen table. He does not speak of this to her. Non is desperate to have the man back that she loved before, and feels that she must find out what exactly happened to change him. A letter from someone Davey claims to have fallen in love with provides a clue that Non follows. As well as these concerns she struggles with her own particular health issues and curious gift that have impacted on her life thus far, and also juggles the relationships with her sister Branwen, and her nephew Gwydion, and her difficult mother in law Catherine. Further, she has cause to question what she knew about her late father, as she learns more about him. The author effectively adds to the heaviness that weighs on Non by incorporating the details of the weather at that time, hot and stifling, a heat that Non cannot escape until the end of the novel, when it finally cools down, in tune with the story. It is an interesting time period; just post World War I, with several in the locality mourning the sad loss of their men. We get a real sense of domestic life then, the heat of the range when cooking, the novelty of having a kettle, the procedures when doing the washing, all add to the authentic period setting of the novel. Additionally we learn a little about alternative medical practices, and the novel brings in some of what is happening around them in the world at the time, such as the rights of women, and the events in Ireland. I think this is a beautifully written novel, thought provoking, intelligent and enjoyable to read. The characters are so well drawn and believable, and I felt like I got to know them. I would recommend it and I would read more by this author.
