"M. John Harrison - Light" - читать интересную книгу автора (Harrison John M)

'I loved it. The multilayered plot worked stunningly well: in most such cases I tend to prefer one or the
other, but with Light I was delighted to return to whichever came next. The story is somehow both
bewildering and utterly clear, razor-sharp and wide enough to encompass worlds, and the language is
beautiful, nailing both the bizarre and mundane with eerie skill. On every other page there's a line which
makes you think 'it can't get better than this', and then it does. An amazing book: not just a triumphant
return to science fiction, but an injection of style and content that will light up the genre.'
Michael Marshall Smith

'One of the most important books of science fiction to be written for a very long time. The man whom
most of Britain's young guns of science fiction claim as a major inspiration is back, and he has lost none
of his skills. Furthermore, he wants to travel with us into a future that is frightening but pregnant with
exciting possibilities.' Foundation

'At last M. John Harrison takes on quantum mechanics. The first classic of the quantum century, Light is
a folded-down future history bound together by quantum exotica and human en-durance. Taut as
Hemingway, viscerally intelligent, startlingly uplifting, Harrison's ideas have a beauty that unpacks to
infinity.' Stephen Baxter

'Here we have "space opera" that brilliantly transcends its humble pulp origins while simultaneously
glorying in them. The result is a gripping, thrilling, meditative novel which can be read and enjoyed on
multiple levels.' SF Weekly
