About Sylvain Neuvel

Sylvain Neuvel dropped out of high school at age 15. Along the way, he has been a journalist, worked in soil decontamination, sold ice cream in California, and taught linguistics in India. He’s also a certified translator, though he wishes he were an astronaut. He writes about aliens and giant robots as a blatant excuse to build action figures (for his son, of course).

This is my fifth book by @sylvainneuvel and it did not disappoint.

Hard-SF / Fantasy / historical fiction thriller soup of awesomeness happening during the 1940s, focused on real rocket science and the race to space pushed forward by 100 generations of Kibsu women. You just don’t get more badass than them.

This book is heavy and sad, brutally violent, and yet funny. And thrilling. And so smart. The question “what are we willing to sacrifice, both physically and morally, for our purpose, for progress?” is a theme to keep you thinking throughout. Mankind has always been a violent bunch.

You know what made this book extremely easy to read? I mean apart from the smooth story flow and clean time jumps, the great mother-daughter relationship, the cruel villains, the nerdy science, the badass women and awesome dialogue? The short short chapters! Gotta love those. Also comes with a stellar, era-appropriate playlist (find it on Spotify), that goes with every song-titled chapter.

Take them to the stars, before Evil comes and kills them all.

Next book: 1970’s 💫 I can’t wait.

Trigger warning: facts and events relating to the Holocaust, homophobia and mention of conversion therapy methods, suicide, gore, torture, racism, miscarriage, sexual assault...

Gillar du SciFi?
Gillade du Sylvain Neuvels Themistrilogi (”Sovande jättar”, ”Vaknande gudar” och ”Bara människa”)?
Fascinerad av rymdkapplöpningen under 1900-talet?
Då kan jag varmt rekommendera författarens nya bok ”A History of What Comes Next” - en mycket underhållande berättelse om krafter som under århundraden försökt ”putta” mänskligheten åt rätt håll för att en dag kunna nå ut i rymden.
