I only could find one article of this on "derfunke.at" and nothing more?
NDC Oslo had a talk by Dylan Beattie abuto emails and he pretty much confirms this, EMail Vs. Capitalism
I also can only recommend "Midnight Diner", and found "Samurai Gourmet" pretty good.
The Giver by Lois Lowry, but it only came after finishing it and reminiscing/discussing it with others, it really hit me that the ending is in reality an open one. Just like in Inception it's basically up to you if you get a happy or sad ending.
Ghost in the shell
Hmm... never had that impression. But thx for the suggestion, I will try Quantum Thief.
Just ended with 'Children of Time' by Adrian Tchaikovsky and will now start 'Children of Ruin' (the second in the series). I liked it a lot,... the gist of it:
- Humans terraform planets
- Humans want 'crispr' intelligent apes
- Humans kill each other
- Crispr can't find apes,.. uses spiders instead
- Other Humans come eons later and find intelligent spiders
The story is told through the eyes of the spiders and the surviving humans and how they try to communicate, think in different terms, fight for the last habitable planet,....
I'm using it and have been in Japan in Dec. It got me started and provided a good platform to work from, but I also immersed myself as much as possible, by watching japanese TV and listening to podcasts,... And also used other resources. I got by, but was far from understanding everything/talking fluid and think that without the immersion it would have been even worse.
My favourite is still: 庭には二羽鶏がいる Niwa niwa niwa niwatori ga iru There are two chicken in the garden.
