Representaion Toward Books Love Minus Eighty

The words were gentle strokes, drawing her awake.
"Hello. Hello there."
She felt the light on her eyelids, and knew that if she opened her eyes they would sting, and she would have to shade them with her palm and let the light bleed through a crack.
"Feel like talking?" A man's soft voice.
And then her mind cleared enough to wonder: who was this man at her bedside?
She tried to sigh, but no breath came. Her eyes flew open in alarm.

In the future, love is complicated. Technology moves ever forward. To be disconnected from the maze of social networking is to be an outcast.

Even death doesn't have to be the end. An impossible love story is about to unfold between a hit-and-run victim and her killer.

I imagine it's never easy to take a well-known and loved short story and turn it into a novel. Bits that worked in one format don't in the other. Favourite characters are subtly, or not so subtly, altered, whether out of necessity or because hindsight makes the author reckon that this way would be better. Will McIntosh's Love Minus Eighty suffers a little from this rewriting. The main character of his short story, Mira, becomes a bit player in the novel, which is probably a clever device to give

As a satire on the future of our connected society, Love Minus Eighty by Will McIntosh seems extraordinarily prescient and quite diabolical. Wearable computers not only clothe people, but provide an instantaneous and fully-immersive link to a digital realm mediated by ones peers. This is democracy subverted by the vox populi, where everything from popularity to attractiveness are reduced to percentages.An interesting side-effect of this technology, the first ominous stirrings of which we are

One of the best things about being connected to the reviewing community is hearing about novels that I wouldnt otherwise have picked up on my own. Will McIntoshs Love Minus Eighty is one of those finds I wouldnt have made if not for social media. After seeing review after glowing review in my Twitter feed, I picked it up and set it on the top of Mount To Be Read, where it was promptly buried.

There are certain short stories that feel almost uncomfortably compressed, so full of interesting concepts and characters that the material just begs to be explored further. In this case, uncomfortably compressed is a good thing, by the waythe exact opposite of a bloated novel that takes a few hundred pages to develop the same rich level of depth.One example of such hyper-efficient compression was Bridesicle by Will McIntosh, originally published in Asimovs in 2009. It was one of that years most
