Unfettered Journey by Gary F. Bengier
3.0
"The world seems designed to keep conscious creatures skating on the edge of unknowing."
Unfettered Journey follows Joe as he tackles some mathematical and philosophical questions on his sabbatical that he's been struggling with for a while. While he's at Lone Mountain College, he is delighted to meet many like-minded professors, as well as have some unexpected run-ins with a group of people who are protesting against the Level Acts, which award each person a different set of advantages depending on the "level" that they are born into.
This book addresses questions such as: what does it mean to be conscious? Can consciousness be created artificially? And, in a world where almost everything is provided for you at no cost, how do we find our own purpose?
I didn't really get into this book until I was halfway through it, but from then on I enjoyed it. There is a lot of discussion about mathematical and philosophical topics that mostly went over my head. The section about survival was my favorite part to read. But if you enjoy math, philosophy and futuristic-dystopian ideas, this is totally the book for you!
I won a copy of this book from Goodreads Giveaways, so thank you Goodreads and Gary F. Bengier!
Mature content: death, violence, moderate sensuality, sexual innuendo.
