I confused the plot of this book with the plot of a doctor who episode. Totally my fault, but made for a very confusing read

'Sometimes, people become currency-goods themselves. If a power field compels it, they are bound to be sucked in. The trio turned themselves into a three-in-one biblical gift set and hurried up `Level 647.'
Not clever enough of a reader for the book, might give it another go at a later date. There's a sequel as well, I hear?

Secondo libro che leggo di Add editore, dopo Membrana, che mi era piaciuto molto per le tematiche affrontate e il finale a sorpresa. La torre di Bae Myung-Hoon non ha avuto altrettanto impatto su di me, ma tutto sommato non mi ha delusa. Il libro racchiude sei racconti di fantascienza, tutti ambientati nella stessa enorme torre di 674 piani dove i suoi abitanti vivono, lavorano e alcuni soffrono di "suolofobia" quindi non escono mai. Tra intrighi politici, situazioni bizzarre e un elefante issato nel vuoto per poter entrare nell'edificio, non mancano i momenti di rilievo. Una venatura di piacevole ironia pervade ogni racconto. Tuttavia, la narrazione è lenta e si ingarbuglia spesso in dettagli che non aggiungono molto al senso della storia. Nonostante queste sbrodolature è stata un'esperienza di lettura particolare, con dei momenti di guizzo memorabili.
