Get my Frolic off
10 April 2007 03:22Got back late last night from Frolicon.
I got there near the very end of Broken Angels, which wasn't nearly as conceptually interesting as Altered Carbon. AC managed to make an interesting story which completely explored the deviation of the story (eg, what the world would be like if we could download personalities). Broken Angels, on the other hand, just sort of exists in the world he created in AC, without adding anything interesting to it. I had high hopes for the xeno-archeological aspects, but in the end, was pretty disappointed.
He still writes well, though.
In my recap below, I'm specifically avoiding any discussion of the vendor's booths, as that will need to be a separate post. It....raised some interesting questions which I want to talk about with specific people before sharing my thoughts to the world.
That last sentence sounds funny to me.
