Interpretation Concering Books FUTU.RE
'A worthy successor to '1984' and 'Brave New World'' - PLAYBOYWhat would I do for eternal life? Discoveries made within our lifetime will allow people to remain young forever. There is no more death. Our children will never die. Welcome to a world inhabited by people who are perfectly healthy, beautiful and eternally young. Every utopia has its shadowy backstreets. Someone has to make sure that overpopulation doesn't bring the wonderful world of the future crashing down. Someone has to make people forget their animal instincts and live in a fitting way for immortals. Maybe that someone is me?
The utopia "FUTU.RE" is the first novel after five years' silence from Dmitry Glukhovksy, author of the cult novel "METRO 2033." The author's books have been translated into dozens of foreign languages, selling in millions of copies, and have been adapted for the big screen in Hollywood - but none of them will grip you like "FUTU.RE"

I read the previuos Metro books from the author so when i saw this at a bookstore i expected a well written work. The story looked interesting and the authors previuos works was great so i picked it up.I shouldnt have though. The book starts up strong with good character development and keeping the pace enough to keep the reader interested while still finding time to put philosophy in. The plotline can be somewhat predictable, but i was not expecting some mindbender from this. However afterTINY SPOILERS.After the amazing Metro 2033 and 2034 novels this one was a disappointment. First of all, the idea is repeated. I have read a sci fi story with immortal society and purity squads hunting those who want to have children at least a years ago in one of Paolo Bacigalupi's Windup Stories. Also - I really hoped that Dmitry Glukhovsky would amaze me and make me wonder philosophically about the human nature (like it happened with Metros). But he didn't. The only feeling I had was
This book was like Huxley, Orwell, Atwood, plus a couple more folks had a baby together and it came out as an instant angsty teen with anger and anxiety issues, kicking garbage bins, starting fights with boys and calling girls whores, and who kept overdosing his meds and because of that was losing his memory all the time and as a result he was repeating same rants over and over. This book was almost an ordeal, if it wasn't for the audio I would probably dnf, even if this was Glukhovsky whom I
I definitely liked it, although it was a bit rough for my taste. In the beginning I was under the impression that the author hates women, and that kind of books are not my cup of tea. However, after finishing the book I can admit that my first impression was nwrong, and that the book is definitely worth it. What I like the most in Glukhovsky's books is the fact that every story has it's own completely different world, most likely in the future, this is something I will always admire!
An exciting ride from Altered Carbon-style violence to the depths of despondency à la 1984. I'd love FUTU.RE if it had ended just right there. But it didn't. There was still about 1/3 of the book to go through and it was long and melancholic with a predictable plot twist. Again, after Metro 2033, it startled me how carelessly Glukhovsky's protagonists can make decisions which affect so many beings.The author as a storyteller doesn't disappoint. His composite-material world is a surprisingly
I have read and enjoyed the Metro books by Glukhovsky but this one I liked even better. I rate it a weak 5, but still at 5. Surprising ends seems to be a trademark of Glukhovsky and the story in Future really takes a new and astonishing turn towards the end. The book also has a beautiful and loving description of a father's love for a newborn baby; something that I did not expect from this book.
