Set on a remote island in a post-apocalyptic, plague-ridden world, this bold and ingenious thriller questions what it means to be human as philosophical questions collide with technology.

Really liked this one. A review would be too spoilery. Suffice to say, it's barely a YA novel. More of an Asimov novella? Great quick read.
I'm gonna try to say as little about this as possible. Genesis is bit like a Twilight Zone episode, both for its brevity and cleverness. As such, I think it's best enjoyed going in pure.
I will say that it is very cerebral, and consists of mostly dialogue discussing the nature of freedom and personhood. There is also robots and artificial intelligence, which I didn't realize going in and was super psyched about. And the cherry on top is a delicious twist ending that I kept thinking about afterward. It was like being punched in the face with awesome.
Freaking read this.
Un excellent roman de science-fiction, dont j'ai découvert après l'avoir lu qu'il s'adressait plutôt à de jeunes lecteurs puisqu'il est classé ici majoritairement dans la catégorie Young Adult. Je trouve que ce roman s'adresse autant à des lecteurs plus âgés, son thème est universel et le récit est passionnant. Ma très bonne surprise de la fin d'année.
Conseillé par un collègue et ami, dévoré entièrement en un week-end. Une discussion en huis clos passionnante du niveau de Man From Earth, qui pose énormément de questions sur la nature humaine et ce qui fait que l'on est humain. Profondément génial même si il est très difficile d'en parler sans spoiler.
