I was kind of interested... but I probably won't read the last volume. The author is far too focused on flowery weird, rapturous passages than telling a good story. Even if there was a desire to write the eloquent stuff, there could have been a balance with plot and character development. But that didn't happen here. Don't waste your time. ( )Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I like the author's writing style because it is packed with imagery and conveys some of the heady verbosity of youth. I had difficulty relating to Ray's obsession with all things computer and internet and so may not have fully appreciated those aspects of the novel, which are considerable in their domination of the storyline. I also lost patience with the painstaking recounting of the life of a young college student, although the description seemed apt enough in tone and focus. This is just not the book for me, but I believe it will appeal tremendously to a select audience who can relate to the main character.I was given this book as an Early Reviewer and the views I express are my own. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. This book took us on a journey in to the world of the internet in a time when it want not well known yet. It also takes the journey of a young man who is interested in the internet as a boy and attempts to earn a degree in using the internet and join it with a desire to be a writer. After training to be a Computer Programmer and a English double major in college, he comes to the time to start using his training and finds he has no idea where to go. The book ends with a note to read volume 3 to see where he ends up. Esta reseña ha sido escrita por los Primeros Reseñadores de LibraryThing. I enjoyed the Circuit of the Wind, Volume 1, as a good childhood view of the days of bulletin boards, phone phracking and the early net. So i was looking forward to Volume 2, the college years. I am very much a techie and tried to enjoy the unix and newsgroup explorations amidst the coming of age angst. What worked for me in Volume 1 just didn't work in Volume 2. This book was very disappointing. I lost interest and really had to struggle to finish it. This would benefit from much tighter editing. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
THE LYRIC STORY OF THE NET GENERATION-GROWING UP AND COMING OF AGE ON THE INTERNET The Internet is everywhere now, but Ray Valentine saw it first explode. CIRCUITS OF THE WIND is the story of Rays quest to find himself as he grows up wandering the computer underground-the wild, global outback that existed before the net went mainstream. How else does an end-of-century slacker reach out to the world from Sohola, that northern state thats a little more Midwest than it is New England? The net holds the key to what hes after-but even as he pioneers this virtual world, the veneer of his real life begins to crack. In VOLUME TWO of the CIRCUITS OF THE WIND trilogy, the net arrives all glimmering when Ray is starting college: its brighter, quicker, better than he ever knew. Its the early 1990s-a time of golden youth and of joyriding on the growing Internet, where he rises as a leader of the global generation, the ones who saw it as the gilded portal to a fabulous new age everyone was about to enter. But hes coasting aimlessly-and when his college friends move on and fashions change he sees how real life actually might not be working out. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
