Unsere Fucking Zukunft by Tristan Horx

challenging inspiring medium-paced

3.0

In dem Buch werden einige relevante und wichtige Themen besprochen, leider alles nur relativ oberflächlich. Die genannten Ideen und Motive sind nicht neu, der Autor stellt diese lediglich zusammen und gibt einen Überblick. Wer sich also bereits viel mit Themen wie Kilmawandel und Generationskonflikt beschäftigt hat, wird hier nichts neues finden. Für alle, die sich für diese Themen interessieren kann das Buch aber durchaus ein guter Einstieg sein

Das Jahr des Dugong - Eine Geschichte für unsere Zeit by John Ironmonger

3.5

Great idea for a story, but for me it was way too short. The books starts with creating the world and setting up the characters in a very nice way and when you think the story is really about to unfold it ends.

That being said I still enjoyed the book. The setting was nice and it was definitely thought provoking. It makes you think about climate Change and the individual responsibility everyone has to prevent it.

If you can live with a short story which will maybe give you some food for thought I can definitely recommend this book.

Nicht so gut wie der erste Teil, die Story wirkt häufig relativ willkürlich. Fehler von den Charakteren haben keine Konsequenzen, weil der Hauptcharakter immer eine neue "magische" (oder in diesem Fall technische) Fähigkeit erfindet.
