Central Station by Lavie Tidhar
3.0
If you enjoy stories that are mostly world building and slice of life you’ll probably enjoy this. Perhaps this book has plot in a way I am not familiar with, but it was a little... Boring.
The future depicted here was definitely cool to imagine and read about. Familiar enough but with lots of unfamiliar technology. I’d say a future like this is not unreasonable at all, with so many people already attached to their cell phones in a primitive form of Conversation.
The whole book was an exercise in what-ifs. What risks and benefits could come from artificial intelligence? Then again, isn’t most sci-fi just an exercise in what-ifs?
I thought it was interesting, but it wasn’t exciting enough for my tastes.
