The Employees - Olga Ravn | SCI-FI BOOK REVIEW

[@sharks540]

I read The Employees recently. It's definitely my favorite science fiction book by far. I really enjoyed this video. Great job!

Thanks so much! The Employees is definitely in my top 5 as well now :)

👏👏👏 Another terse, and enjoyable review. I’d say as always but I always say that. This book sounds very interesting. VERY interesting. Reminds me of what I’ve read of Qntm. I’ve been obsessing over Wieland and reading Lonesome Dove and Ramsey Campbell’s Midnight Sun, since you’re asking. I notice Herodotus is giving me sour looks as well, but I haven’t forgotten him. 😁

Thank you so much! :D If you read it, hope you like it! And thanks for the recommendations.

Sounds brilliant. Thanks for this. I will dig the book out. Can I suggest some other SF authors? JG Ballard. Stanislaw Lem. Olaf Stapleton. Chris Priest (start with The Affirmation).

You're welcome; glad I could get this book to your attention! Thanks for the recommendations as well! 'Solaris' by Stanislaw Lem is currently my favourite conventional sci fi novel, and I hope to review it next year. I read Inverted World by Priest, but found the ending super disappointing. Maybe I'll give The Affirmation a shot! Never heard of Stapleton; I'll be on the look out for him :)

@@Deep_in_the_Reads I agree about Inverted World. It was a short story padded out to a novel and it shows. Priest has a thing about ending novels...he doesn't, most times, which can work or utterly fail, depending on the novel. His best-known novel is probably The Prestige, which I like a lot, but The Affirmation is my favorite.

@@guyriddihough Ah, I see! I'll have to give him another chance then!
