Happy Birthday, John Brunner in Dystopian novels (September 2013)

Total Eclipse by John Brunner

Still good

Unfortunately this has become a bit dated. Also simpler than other works of his I'm familiar with; likely an side effect of it's time, when the publishing industry was insisting on shorter formats. There were some elements that could have developed a more complex storyline. Also, the ending is morbid, dwelling for some pages in the rambling of a dying man, and the last man on the planet. Some will find such thoughts interesting and insightful, but not for me

The John Brunner Collection Volume One: The Sheep… by John Brunner

I had read the Crucible of Time before, & loved it. The other two novels with it in this bundle were a completely different sort of writing that I find tedious at best.

The Jagged Orbit (Gollancz Collectors' Editions) by John Brunner

just couldnt relate with it. To me it seems written in the buzztLk of the in crowd... if you know what's what, and the whyfor of it, you can maybe dig the nuggets. Cool beans for those withit... not so much for social misfits like self.

The Sheep Look Up by John Brunner

Should maybe be a four star, but 1. I didn't like the disjointed style this was done in. 2. I'm not really sure if I should add a point for the several aspects in which his predictions have come true, because now that they ARE true, there's less impact (in other words, it's become dated)
