CyberWeird Stories: A Contagious Collection of Stories and Poems - Tapa dura

Críticas

William Bitner, Jr. - Book Review Village

Five Star Rating - This is a collection of 23 short stories and a few poems. While the cyberpunk theme is pretty apparent in most of the stories, there are many layers to some of the other stories, where no emotion is safe or left untouched. D.C. touches on every emotion and beyond, especially in the poems in this book. Some of the stories were on the edge of Lovecraftian. Surrealism played a big part in many of the stories...so much so that I had to take a break after reading one story before starting another. The perspective and imagery in the stories were unique and multi-layered. I think the thing I like the most about this read is that is did not follow the rules of the genre, at least that’s my take on it. We would go from the most surreal story to a poem about 9/11 with such emotion and introspection. I also noticed that, and I’m not sure if it was intentional, that the color green played a big part in many of the stories. From taste, touch and smell there were greens, emeralds, jades and mints in eye color, landscapes and aromas. There is much to take from this read if you just allow yourself to let go, and be there for the mind blast journey that D.C will take you on. I look forward to reading more of D.C. Lozar and highly recommend this read to anyone who wants an intelligent, mindful and well throughout piece of wordsmithing. It’s fun to imagine where D.C. live in him imagination, it must be so much fun there!

Showcasing fantastic stories in which printed people colonize planets, augmented reality is used to punish criminals and take over corporations, and futures where cyberpunk adolescence rule cities where all the adults have disappeared; this is a collection of unique peepholes into the future of our planet and species.
