Hollow World by Michael J. Sullivan6/1/2023 I think he's a pretty good author, one might say he is a great author. I have a lot of time for Michael Sullivan. It even has strains of Weird Science reminding me of the quote "making a girl, actually making a girl". Think Time Machine meets Brave New World meets Apocalypse Now and other cool literature and cinematic plots. I will be listening to and reading this again. The reveal about why Ellis Rogers carries so much guilt about his son's suicide. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Have you listened to any of Jonathan Davis’s other performances? How does this one compare? Both are thought provoking, 'Hollow World' is not afraid to make the reader smile - or even laugh. I suppose the obvious comparison would be H G Wells' 'The Time Machine', although the subject of the future of humanity and the planet is handled differently. What other book might you compare Hollow World to, and why? It tackles them with compassion, tasteful humour and without over-indulgent sentimentality or preaching. It is a great book that tackles many contemporary issues and questions - such as religion (and violence in the name of religion), love,homophobia, indiviualism - and many more. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
