Kalle Kniivilä reviewed Ammonite by Nicola Griffith
Dystopia more credible than utopia
2 stars
For some reason is seems easier to come up with a credible dystopia than a credible utopia. The Company which seems to be running a lot of planets in this universe is all too similar to a lot of companies in the existing world, and the first half of the book would easily get four stars from me. But the people of Jeep are just too much fantasy for me to digest. Mysticism thinly veiled as "science". Could have bought the societal part, but genetic memory and healing with psychic fields or whatever was just too much. Oh well, probably I'm just too boring for this book.
