Prescience and Delany go together like Mouse and sensory-syrynx performances. ![]() He spearheaded the movement before the notion even existed. And Delany’s inclusion of computer interfacing with mechanical limbs and implants predates the cyberpunk genre by years. Its formative ideas behind race relations, free-flowing information overload, and questioning one’s own purpose are as relevant today as when the novel was released. Nova was written and published at the height of the 1960s hippie movement, but out of touch and dated it is not. Oh, and their crew isn’t the only one vying for that precious substance. ![]() Procuring that much Illyrion in one go requires skimming the surface of the sun and entering a nova at just the right moment. There’s just one planetary-sized problem. ![]() ![]() Thereby, shifting the balance of power and control in the galaxy to a new faction. Set up to crash and burn like a Shakespearean tragedy performed in space, Nova follows the orphaned gypsy, Mouse, as he and a group of cyber stud renegades are recruited by the bullish pirate, Lorq Von Ray, to amass seven tons of the vital energy source, Illyrion. “Basically, gentlemen, Illyrion is something else.” And with those words the central conflict and quest at the heart of Samuel R. ![]() ![]() ![]() I now understand the difference between a Grand Unified Theory and a Theory of Everything (thanks, gravity). It’s not that we just trust that math is fundamental to the universe, it’s that there doesn’t seem to be any other way to approach these things that makes any sense.Įven as a (marine) scientist interested in physics and space, I learned a lot from this book. ![]() She doesn’t shy from blowing her own mind, and does a good job of communicating the strangeness to her reader, sprinkling some pop sci fi culture references along the way. Mack is relatable: excitable, funny, and still impressed by the discoveries happening in her field. Most people probably imagine cosmologists as super smart, boring, and stuffy. Mack keeps it together (mostly) in the text, but the footnotes do not hold back, and I am here for them.Įven without the dark energy complication, an expanding universe can be a hard thing to wrap your head around*. There is a perfect balance of handling the seriousness of the subject with a lightheartedness that makes it all okay. ![]() ![]() Mack and her editor constantly fighting about the tone of the book during its writing. Katie Mack has managed this spectacularly, with grace and humor. I know from personal experience how hard it is for a scientist to forget everything we’ve learned about technical science writing in order to write for a more general audience. ![]() |
