Science fiction meets Norse Mythology
It's official, Andri is among my favourite authors. I couldn't put this book down and I read it in one evening.
The worries and warnings of the sci-fi genre meet the poetry and transcendence of old Icelandic myths. A book that clearly has that distinct North Atlantic island's flavour, yet it doesn't ignore the existence of the rest of the world. The contrasts of a mechanised and heavily controlled society against the most primal and pure aspects of human nature.
It's an entertaining yet thoughtful story, with a refreshing writing style.
