A review by iroise
Fallen Angels by Mike Flynn, Jerry Pournelle, Larry Niven
1.0
Possibly the worst worldbuilding I have ever encountered.
Technology bad. But the big bad ecologists still use cars, radios, fax machines, airplanes, electricity- basically, everything that was used in the real world when this was written. Why? "it's a necessary evil". Alright, so no actual explanation.
Oh but you can be jailed for owning a computer.
And there's barely any science being taught in schools and universities. No explanation as to how the government can still manage the country when technology is so scarce.
Big bad ecologists KILLED SEVERAL SCIENTISTS and managed to get away with a "justified manslaughter". Alright.
No real explanation as to how technology became so hated. And science-fiction is despised. For some reason.
Rape scene that's passed as a joke because it's a guy. The only secondary female characters are cosplayers in tiny outfits.
This entire book was a weak attempt from the authors at making themselves look in power thanks to the great Power of Fandom
If I could give this book 0 stars I would.
