Working at Google has perks. One of which is the Authors@Google program. The program gets authors to come and speak to Googlers. Felicia Day was the most recent author in the Kirkland office. I'm not the biggest Felicia Day fan, I loved Dr. Horrible and loved her stint on Eureka. But I never watched Buffy, haven't watched The Guild and stopped watching Supernatural by her stint on the show. I didn't know that much about her. Her talk was fantastic and pretty inspiring for those of who deal with social anxiety and depression. So I was really interested in reading her book (bonus I got a complimentary copy for being one of the first XX people to get to the talk).
div
Speaking to her after as she signed my book was probably one of the most stressful moments of my life and I'm sure I came off incredibly awkward. I'm actually disappointed I didn't read her book before because I think my exchange would have gone differently.
div
I got to the front of the line, Felicia takes the book from an assistant who has made sure my name is legible and easy for her to see. She looks at the post it note, looks up at me and says, "Your name is familiar, do I know you?" I'm shocked and the most I can do is a shrug. I finally get out a joke, "Well I attended Texas A&M", Felicia went to the rival University of Texas. She laughs and says, "So, you're the enemy?" I laugh too and another assistant snaps a photo of us.
div
So fanboying aside, what about the book. The book is very much written in her voice. It has a frantic pace that sometimes doesn't do justice to the seriousness of the content. The book is pretty much an account of working through isolation, weirdness, depression, anxiety, addiction (to video games) to actually achieve something. It's quirky, personal and inspiring. It made me realize that the inner voice that degrades what you create and holds it up against your own ideas and misconceptions about what others are doing and achieving is just a lie.
div
That said the book appeals to a certain demographic, those of us who grew up being different and are still trying to find our voice and our place need to read this. Because this book celebrates us.
div
I have a soft spot for 1950s Science Fiction. Isaac Asimov's Robot series was the first serious adult fiction I read. I was in the 6th grade. I went through Asimov's Robot books and Foundation books. I read Arthur C. Clarke and Frank Herbert in 7th grade. As I got older I still turn back to the golden age of Science Fiction.
div
City for me is like an old cozy quilt. Much like Asimov's early works it isn't as much a novel as a tight collection of short stories. Many of the elements are very familiar and the book in many ways is a precursor to Clarke and Asimov.
div
The collection is drawn together to appear as if it was a scholar edition of oral legends that make up the "mythical" canon of ancient Doggish history. The question the edition is approaching is simple "Is Man a Myth?" You see the edition is a product of intelligent speaking dogs.
div
The stories begin in the mid-21st century. The urban complexes of the 20th century are dying. Hydroponics and Yeast-based protein substituted have made agriculture to collapse. Farms are abandoned and empty. The middle and upper classes are buying up massive estates built by robots for almost nothing and commuting in to work via personal helicopters. The suburbs are almost empty as no one wants to live in a cramped suburb anymore.
div
The story, and all of the subsequent ones in the book, center on the Webster family. The family at the beginning are still living in a suburban Chicago home. Dispossessed farmers squatting in foreclosed home-compounds are pretty much their only remaining neighbors.
div
Over the following stories, we jump forward and learn more about the Webster clan's following generations always accompanied by a faithful robot servant, Jenkins. The third tale introduces the dogs. A result of experimentation by a Webster, the dogs are given the power of speech and literacy.
