#AudioBookReview: In My Country by Thomas Ha #booksky @thomasha.bsky.social @clarkesworldmagazine.com #sciencefiction #dystopian #shortstoryreview #podcastreview #HugoNomineeReview #bookreview
My Review: This is the third short work in my personal Hugo Awards reading and this is another story that is interesting and thought-provoking rather than any sort of fun. Which in this case is definitely the point. At first, it reads as if it’s set in a totalitarian country. And it would be an easier read if it were. I mean, it kind of is, but not in the way we think of such things. Because we think that totalitarianism tends towards uniformity of thought - or an attempt to force it.
