Very nice scifi about an intergenerational conflict on a multi(think >100) generational spaceship, focussing on music, both the people keeping old music alive, and the younger people rejecting history. I liked the setting and world building and characters, but it fell a bit flat, all things considered. You can find it online here: http://sarahpinsker.com/wind_will_rove/ no reviews | add a review

The story is set in a generations ship, where quite early in the journey all non-essential information was destroyed, so there is no Earth’s literature, music, movies, etc. At the same time there were still a lot of people, who recalled both the Earth and its culture, so they tried to recreate it from scratch, including writing books or shooting movies “as I recall them”. The action is set a few generation down the way when young generation asks about the necessity of all this old stuff, to which they cannot relate. The story reminded me of [a:Franz Kafka|5223|Franz Kafka|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1495464914p2/5223.jpg]'s [b:The Great Wall of China|20299055|The Great Wall of China|Franz Kafka|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1389536235s/20299055.jpg|46240729] as the problem when actual doers are unable to see what they do on a greater scale.
It is fine story but nothing esceptional.
