Review: William Barton book Iris
William Barton book Iris
Gender
One scene where a male mind is put in control of a female body. At end, a female mind is transfered into a male body when she is fatally injured.
From: Corwin , 296 months, post #1
Staggeringly, unmitigably awful.
Traditional science fiction used to present the notion that humanity would carefully select only its very best for that initial encounter with an alien civilization. Recent stories have left the selection up to chance, (Arthur C. Clarke's "Rama" sequels actually postulated a sampling of people dominated by criminals.) but "Iris" leaves first contact up to the most pathetic assortment of head cases, psychos, deviants, perverts, sadists, masochists, schizophrenics, co-dependents, and just plain neurotics that Earth (and the Moon!) could rustle up!
This shipload of losers rockets off into space, seeking to... find themselves... or find out who they are... or gather their feelings... or learn how to relate... or heal... or grieve... or get in touch with their inner beingness and personism... or some such nonsense!
No kidding. Every plot twist comes in a blizzard of issues and is followed by a period when the characters decide "to move on!"
Here they are, orbiting a hostile rogue planet on the outskirts of the solar system and en masse, they plunge into a computerized virtual reality world to escape from, well, real reality!
One woman actually freezes to death because her shipmates can't rescue her as she expects from a narcissistic stunt out on the subzero surface of an airless asteroid. She ends up with her personality transferred into the body of a man who's thrown his mind hopelessly into virtual reality.
A perennially dysfunctional couple uses computer aided "downlink rapport" to relate to each other. VERY briefly, they cross their wires so he experiences being in her body and she in his.
Whew! Fortunately, the only aliens they all find are a long dormant shipload of resentful biomechanoids, rebellious robots and ambiguously unfriendly computer programs.
With ambassadors like this to the cosmos, the human race would be lucky not to get blown to oblivion just so the universe could be rid of our whining! Be sure to miss this one!
