Деннис Тейлор, «Небесная Река».
Мне прям несколько человек написали, что читают книги по моим рекомендациям, и им нравится. Очень рад, что эта часть моего бложека оказывается полезной. В числе прочего читатели положительно отзывались о «Вселенной Бобов».
Некоторое время назад на русском вышла четвёртая книга — «Небесная Река». По краткому описанию кажется, будто бы это какой-то спин-офф, но на самом деле нет. Это буквально прямое продолжение, которое начинается после событий третьей части, с теми же героями, но чуть-чуть новой проблематикой. Напомню, что это серия романов о том, как разум главного героя в будущем загрузили в космический зонд и дали ему способность создавать из материи любые конструкции, в том числе свои копии.
Вроде бы ничего принципиально нового. Как и предыдущие части, книга скорее развлекательная, чем заставляющая о чём-то серьёзно задумываться. Тем не менее, прочитал с большим удовольствием. События вполне себе захватывают, и повествование стало менее «рваным» — вместо десятков параллельных историй мы получили две, которые в конце сходятся.
Глубже затронута проблема согласия внутри общества клонированных разумов. У автора есть понятие «репликативный дрейф», которое отвечает за то, что копии Изначального Боба приобретают какие-то изменённые черты. И чем дальше идёт цепочка копирований, тем больше расхождение. В какой-то момент расхождение становится так велико, что вызывает очень серьёзные конфликты. Ещё мне понравилась попытка вписать в этот концепт идею души и уникальности сознания.
В остальном, узнал, например, новую мегаструктуру, о которой раньше не слышал. О Сфере Дайсона и Кольце Нивена слышал (Нивена даже читал, и вам рекомендовал). О Диске Алдерсона тоже знаю. А тут у автора Топополис (Topopolis) — спирально-циллиндрическая конструкция вокруг звезды.
Короче, хороший развлекательно-приключенческий сай-фай с гиковыми отсылками. Если зашли предыдущие книги, то и эта зайдёт.
