The World of Science Fiction by Souvik Chakraborty
Book review:
As a science teacher, I like reading about tales of discovery and assumptions. I grabbed, "The World of Science Fiction" and it is a beautiful collection of science tales from different authors. This book gave me an abundance of introspective ideas and reverberating facts that have the power to change technology.
It is basically a gathering of sci-fi, thus containing cutting-edge stories, for example, trendsetting innovation, Investigation of room, Time travelling and other comparable minds. The speed of the stories varies relying upon the singular styles of the creators. A few stories accompany exaggerated circumstances that keep the reader in a quicker force, while some are more rational.
The editor has meticulously combined all the stories from renowned authors like Jules Verne, H.G. Wells, Stanley G. Weinbaum, and many more. His innovative idea to present varied stories in one book is commendable.
I personally liked "Into the Sun", " In The Abyss", "The Light from Beyond", " Happy Ending" and many more. I was startled to read about fissures and how these eruptions can deform or form land masses.
Overall, this hefty collection of fifty-one magnificent tales is cutting-edge and bound to evoke a profound feeling of awe and wonder. Highly recommended!

ReplyDeleteI personally enjoyed Satyajit Roy's science fiction. I don't know if he was ahead of his time or not. It is interesting the authors imagine scenarios that science later proves and executes. I think imagination should be allowed to soar, no matter how absurd or outlandish. Those who stay rooted in logic, never dare to fly.

This is one genre of books that does not evoke my interest. Perhaps I will recommend it to those who like reading science fictions.
ReplyDeleteSci fiction I read but in less numbers... it seems from your review that it's worth a read. But I m confused about one thing .... is it multiple authors collaboration or Souvik Chakraborty stories? Please clarify
ReplyDeleteAdded it to my TBR list. I have read very less science fiction and this has a compilation of stories, so certainly would pick it up.
ReplyDeleteI love watching sci-fi series and movies but unable to sit and read the genre. Will give it a try again with this book
ReplyDeleteLooks like an interesting collection. I'm sure my son will love it. Thanks for the review.
ReplyDeleteI have always enjoyed watching sci-fi series and movies; there’s something captivating about seeing futuristic worlds and imaginative concepts come to life on screen. However, when it comes to books, it’s a different story. I find it difficult to stay engaged with sci-fi novels. I will recommend this to my friends who love to read sci- fi.
ReplyDeleteI quite enjoy reading books authored by Bong writers. And the way you have reviewed this one tells me I'm about to add one more to that list. 51 tales? Seems quite exciting. Thanks for the recommendation :)
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy the writings of H G Wells in my school days , so I think when you say highly recommended , I certainly will love this short stories collection.
ReplyDeleteInteresting sci-fi that I can share with my daughters who are also fascinated with stories like this. Appreciate you sharing this! Love it! - MommyWithAGoal
ReplyDeleteSci-fi is one genre of the books which I haven't picked much to read. I have read a couple of marathi books by Dr. Jayant Naralikar and that's it. This one sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteScience fiction if it is backed by a good story than they are for sure my go to reads. Nice review.
ReplyDeleteOoh! This sounds like an amazing book. Will definitely add it my TBR considering I'm a big fan of sci-fi.
ReplyDeleteI remember i went through a phase of reading science fiction and it was fun. Now i like some elements of science in my books as part of the story - always adds a layer.
