A Novel of Spiritual Education


I remember reading Harry Potter as a kid and not really enjoying it. I found it to be a chore but I finished it because my friends seemed to enjoy it a lot. I ended up very disappointed and watched the movies to see if I’d missed something. Though the films were good, I was still not a fan. I’ve since rewatched the movies and I’ve warmed up to Harry Potter a little bit. My main issue then was the world building. I didn’t understand the limits of what existed in the Harry Potter universe. I had many questions, such as: how are there trolls and goblins yet none of the normal people know about them? I didn’t quite understand the border between reality and fantasy within the Harry Potter universe and frankly, I still don’t. 


I like certain aspects of Harry Potter, the films in particular capture some good magical moments. A famous example of capturing the magic would be the scene where Harry departs from platform 9 3/4 and enters the train to Hogwarts.

The Fiction of Ideas

The idea of using language as a weapon is incredibly bizarre and I wouldn’t have thought a book would try to tackle the concept, but hey, Babel 17 does just that. Now, I have heard of the concept before but only in the video game Metal Gear V: The Phantom Pain where the story was, well, bad. The idea was that a disease of some sort was spread by an underground military group and this disease would respond to a certain language spoken by killing the host. Not a bad idea, but it wasn’t explored to its full potential. At least now I know where Metal Gear potentially got the idea. Babel-17 approaches the “weaponized language” concept in a different direction as it’s more of a boon to the user than a bane. Someone who learns the language Babel-17 has their brain rewired to think in the language, which is so precise that the user can think a mile-a-minute and describe intricate scenes in mere moments. Babel-17 tackles the concept of the self and whether we as people can ever truly un...

The New Weird

Well this is definitely weird. Railsea by China Mieville is essentially a modern-fantasy take on Moby Dick, with trains and giant moles instead of ships and giant whales. But that’s not all, this Earth exists in a world where aliens visited many years ago and now the world is polluted beyond repair, haunted by gargantuan beasts. The setting is very interesting, but I’m not super fond of all of the characters aside from Sirocco, which made Railsea very difficult to read for very long.

Space Opera

I read some of the Stars my Destination by Alfred Bester. Fascinatingly, the main character is completely unrelatable and nearly unlikable. His only purpose after being stranded in space for a very long time is to get revenge on the ship that wouldn’t save him. A very fascinating ability exist in this universe, where people can “jaunt” or teleport hundreds of miles as long as they know a location.  The most famous example of the Space Opera that everyone knows (everyone that matters, anyway) is of course, Star Wars. Star Wars is the definition of space opera.  Though I did grow up with star wars, I’m not a die-hard fan. Star Wars is full of inconsistencies and bad writing, especially the prequels.
