reviewed Vesta Shutdown by Gabriele Simionato (Nuovi Mondi, #1)

Gabriele Simionato, Alessandro Alaia: Vesta Shutdown (Paperback, Italiano language, 2021, Aristea)

Ottimo per avvicinarsi al genere

Enigmi semplici. Alcuni passaggi un po' troppo dipendenti dai dadi, prima che dalle scelte del lettore. Regolamento chiaro e lineare. Ogni variazione è ben spiegata durante lo svolgimento e non crea confusione. Storia intrigante. Protagonista ben caratterizzati, ma anche abbastanza neutro da permettere di immedesimarsi.

Prophetic for its time

Adapting & building community during social collapse. Prophetic for its time, remains unsettling. God as Change could be a genuinely useful belief system. Only half a book, with ending sudden & too convenient (there is a sequel).

Climate collapse close to home

Post-climate apocalypse in #HuonValley & #Hobart. Mostly believable (ex-PM was a caricature, and questionable lack of planning for expedition) with survivors being both humane & loving, but also merciless when called for. Unnerving to see local area in this light.
