Week Eight: The Spaceman of Bohemia

What a great book. This is the kind of Sci Fi I really like, it's not about science OR fiction, it's centered on big ideas that you can only come to via a story that uses both these things to show more about reality from a surreal angle.

Ostensibly it's just a story, similar in plot to Gravity, but instead of Sandra Bullock, this is a protagonist flawed and deeply scarred, though not aware at all. Until he runs and falls to ... well no spoilers, but it's well done.

A story of love, revenge and pirates (no wait, thats the Princess Bride)... it's surprising and light, logical and deep.

Loved this.

Easy to read, easy to immerse yourself in someone else's tragic backstory and marvel at the author who weaves a complex, intersecting web of real people into a simple narrative, with an extraordinary premise.

So yeah. Loved it.
