This is the second book from the Android universe and I liked it way better than the last one (Android: Monitor). It's a thrilling chase featuring different interesting characters, with a focus on clones that try to escape the fangs of the corporation owning them.

#Netrunner

Got this as a gift, never heard of that guy but I'll give it a look

I mostly wanted to read this to get an idea of the Android universe after getting into the cyberpunk #Netrunner card game. For this, it's a good novel showing how the NBN megacorp operates and some general info on how people live there.

The story itself, especially around the main protagonist, was a bit thin and had some plot holes IMHO.

Some bonus points for great examples on capitalist co-optation of liberal ideas (fucking diversity otter)

The start was mostly the protagonists thoughts and felt a bit slow but it helped shape Jodahs and the more it progressed the better I liked it. Expected a bit more about Mars but didn't mind this being something else.

As the first book, world- and character building are amazing. Somehow, the first book seems like nothing more than a setup for this in hindsight. Finishing this, I can't wait for the next one, to see how the plan Akin spun unfolds. Admittedly I have been a hard time following the dialogues when more than 2 Oankali were involved, but I think I can follow and understand Akin pretty well thanks to how Butler described him.

I didn't notice I'm reading a book from the eighties until I looked up from when the book is. Beside some words that are rare today and some historical mentions, the series could have been written now.

I didn't read the blurb again and was surprised by the start, even though I should have expected it after the ending of the last. That not gonna happen again at book #3!

I hadn't really read the blurb and was just going by recommendations, not really knowing what to expect except for an interesting world. This wasn't wrong but I didn't expect Dawn to be this thrilling and chilling at the same time. Definitely continuing this series

Liked it a lot. First 40k novel I've read in years but also different from the ones I know. Probably a bit more playful? Idk how to put it

Die Story ist sehr ähnlich aufgebaut wie im ersten Buch, aber die Charaktere sind noch oberflächlicher und die "geniale Fügung" am Ende ergibt diesmal keinerlei Sinn. Dafür dermaßen viel platte Häme über sämtliche "woken" Themen schon von Anfang an, dass es von einem Augenzwinkern weit entfernt ist. Im Mittelteil wurde es kurz wieder interessant, das Ende nur noch fürchterlich. Werde die Serie nicht weiterlesen.
