Review: Black Man

Black Man by Richard K. Morgan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The book can be regarded as a prequel to the universe of Takeshi Kovac's trilogy. The near future of the Earth, where mankind is colonizing Mars, incidentally dealing with complex political problems and a moral crisis caused by changes in the human genome.

Review: Market Forces

Market Forces by Richard K. Morgan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

'Everything is about politics. Politics is everything. Everything in human society anyway.' Market Forces by Richard Morgan

A Brave New World of wild capitalism where venture fonds are openly financing civil wars in different parts of world and executives of firms literally fight for the contracts, killing each other in duels. A grim fascinating picture of a social distopia.

And I am home again
And my home city
Around me
Rests like my second skin
And mighty Dnipro
Like a sleeping giant
Under ice
And my heart's beating
In the rhythm
With His deep breaths
