A review by gorm
Japan Sinkt by Sakyo Komatsu
3.0
I read the German translation.
Detailed descriptions of geological shifts, changes and catastrophes. The "downfall" of Japan is put into a science-influenced novel with a plot around a team of scientists and some of the people they meet on the way.
I can recommend this book for science-lovers, for people who like to follow a fictional story that aligns with (real) scientific facts.
This work is highly important for the japanese science-fiction scene but furthermore, even in other countries.
The japanese culture and mindset is displayed, woven into the plot of how the people and the society react to the sinking of Japan. I'm not familiar with the culture, therefor I might not have gotten all the hints and descriptions, all the nuances of the culture in this book.
