| Re: Paradises Lost
I read this story last year. I found it to be very eloquent and haunting. I enjoyed the fact that LeGuin did not romanticize the generation ship concept. The story was gritty and focused on how humanity will react when isolated from their kind. I loved the twist on the sacrifice of the founders of the mission. Supposedly they sacrificed the most in the mission as they would not live to see its completion yet the ultimate sacrifice was bestowed upon the future generations of the mission. What does anyone else think? Glad to find another reader! |
