Samenvatting

BLUE REMEMBERED EARTH is the first volume in a monumental trilogy tracing the Akinya family across more than ten thousand years of future history ... out beyond the solar system, into interstellar space and the dawn of galactic society.

One hundred and fifty years from now, in a world where Africa is the dominant technological and economic power, and where crime, war, disease and poverty have been banished to history, Geoffrey Akinya wants only one thing: to be left in peace, so that he can continue his studies into the elephants of the Amboseli basin.

But Geoffrey's family, the vast Akinya business empire, has other plans. After the death of Eunice, Geoffrey's grandmother, erstwhile space explorer and entrepreneur, something awkward has come to light on the Moon, and Geoffrey is tasked - well, blackmailed, really - to go up there and make sure the family's name stays suitably unblemished. But little does Geoffrey realise - or anyone else in the family, for that matter - what he's about to unravel.

Eunice's ashes have already have been scattered in sight of Kilimanjaro. But the secrets she died with are about to come back out into the open, and they could change everything.

Or shatter this near-utopia into shards ...

  • 576 pages of fresh and exciting ideas of human potential

    Positieve punten

    • optimistic story
    • full of ideas

    'Blue Remembered Earth' shows the reader an optimistic and imaginative story about:

    Space Exploration, Underwater Cities. Interstellar Travel with Slower than Light Ships, Space Elevators, Brain Augmentations that prevent Violence. A Crimefree World. Smart Clothing and Furniture, Telepresence via Robots, a Solarwide Sophisticated Internet Network, Machine Evolution, Robotic Asteroid Mines, Self Repairing Coral Reefs, a Solar-wide-telescope, a Mandala Artifact on a Distant Planet, Darwinian Robot Battlegrounds on Mars, and even a Genetically Engineered Human Whale.

    All this in a Near Utopia setting where Africa dominates the economy, where climate change has pushed us into space and the world is finally at peace. Utopia's can be rather dull sometimes, but sometimes a book doesn't need to be full of violence and excitement, but instead offer us 576 pages of fresh and exciting ideas of human potential. It is a lively roller coaster ride through the solar system that will lead the readers mind to the stars.

  • Goede SF, anders dan ander werk Reynolds

    Niet te vergelijken met de Revelation Space boeken of Revenger serie. Wat meer concreet en minder 'chaotisch' qua omschreven wereld. Erg gaaf en origineel uitgangspunt qua culturele achtergrond van de hoofdpersonen. Goede personages, goed verhaal, gewoon top.
