Title: Algorithm Of Life (#1)    Permalink: DBID    Year: 2021    Category: Novel Series       Series: Kaori Nakamura    Author: Marta Sobiecka       Publisher: IX Publishing House       Synopsis: "SF writers have often confronted tradition with modernity, often issuing a merciless account of ubiquitous technology and warning against man's dependence on the artificial world he has created, without which he can no longer function normally. Marta Sobiecka goes further - she presents a futuristic marriage of metaphysics with cyberspace, constructs holographic substitutes for apparitions produced for the mass audience, and even allows herself in her visions to portray the soul in a truly 'heretical' way, a soul independent of its 'rubbish skull' (as Ray Bradbury would put it). The fascination with Japan, often visible in the author's prose, finds an extremely important, substantive justification in this context - it is the Land of the Rising Sun that has been trying for decades to combine mysticism, religion and the beliefs of ancestors with a dehumanized future... However, the writer does not judge anyone, she does not give the schizoidly cracked reality any grades. We do not receive from her either a morality play or ethical support for a person lost in the mental turmoil of the 21st century. Why? For a simple reason - Marta Sobiecka takes her reader seriously, allows them to make independent choices, to follow their own path, just like the heroes of her stories do."
