I found this series more rewarding than almost any other book series. I find it to be so.... literarily... satisfying. I have no idea how to explain that. The author's vision of the future is so complex and compelling, and the humanity of it all. I could go on for hours!
- SirLJ 9y agoWe agree to disagree on this one :-) For me one series I feel like you do, is the Asian Saga by James Clavell, maybe because I read the books for the first time as a child and have always been interested in business, etc, but like you I cannot explain it :-)
- kenjinp 9y agoI will certainly check it out! Isn't it strange what kinda reaches out and gives you a big impression? I'm interested in your opinion once you've finished. I am always glad to hear of books that leave this kind of impact on people, and I've heard about the Asia Saga before, but I forgot about it. Very eager to start. Thanks for the recommendation
- SirLJ 9y agoI would recommend the following books I have read last year and really liked the ideas behind: "The Road Not Taken" is a short story by Harry Turtledove https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Not_Taken_(short_story) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road_Not_Taken_(short_stor... Remembrance of Earth's Past trilogy by Liu Cixin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_of_Earth%27s_Past https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_of_Earth%27s_Past And this one is autobiographical by one of the smartest men of our time: A Man For All Markets by Edward O.
