Val takes a look at both the story of Pink Noise and the ideas behind it.
The author puts quite a lot of material in a relatively short text. Pink Noise: A Post-Human Tale is deceptively densely written and I ended up rereading certain passages after completing the appendix. Although Korogodski sets a brisk pace, parts of the story could be called action-packed, it is definitely a work that requires some time to read and digest. It is quite an impressive début, one of the most interesting science fiction stories I’ve read in a while. It is prime food for thought, a novella that’ll stay with you for quite a while after you’re done reading it.
