We Are Satellites
批評家のレビュー
One of Buzzfeed’s Best Science Fiction Books of Spring
“Pinsker’s newest is a carefully crafted sci-fi web stretched over an intensely human core...issues of discrimination, ableism, transparency, and more weave together to create an intricately told cautionary tale.” (Booklist, starred review)
“It’s a fascinating novel that explores how technologies can transform family dynamics.” (Buzzfeed)
“Pinsker writes intensely human sci-fi, exploring with nuance and heart the ways technology impacts the emotional lives of her characters...it’s a deeply empathetic story of a family struggling with everyday impossibilities. We Are Satellites will drill a tiny - entirely painless - aperture in the side of your skull, snake its way inside, and rewire how you think about the lines between yourself, technology, and those we love.” (Bob Proehl, author of The Somebody People)
あらすじ・解説
"Taut and elegant, carefully introspected and thoughtfully explored." (The New York Times)
From Hugo award-winning author Sarah Pinsker comes a novel about one family and the technology that divides them.
Everybody's getting one.
Val and Julie just want what’s best for their kids, David and Sophie. So when teenage son David comes home one day asking for a Pilot, a new brain implant to help with school, they reluctantly agree. This is the future, after all.
Soon, Julie feels mounting pressure at work to get a Pilot to keep pace with her colleagues, leaving Val and Sophie part of the shrinking minority of people without the device.
Before long, the implications are clear for the family and society: Get a Pilot or get left behind. With government subsidies and no downside, why would anyone refuse? And how do you stop a technology once it's everywhere? Those are the questions Sophie and her anti-Pilot movement rise up to answer, even if it puts them up against the Pilot's powerful manufacturer and pits Sophie against the people she loves most.
