Science Fiction: Now Will Machines Hollow The Beast By Benjanun Sriduangkaew


 (Drivebycuriosity) -  Science Fiction has many voices. Benjanun Sriduangkaew, a young author from South Thailand, writes elegant & elaborated novellas and stories. I enjoyed her neo-baroque style already in her novella "And Shall Machines Surrender" (driveby ). I just finished her novella "Now Will Machines Hollow The Beast", which uses some elements and characters from "Surrender" ( amazon).

Sriduangkaew leads her audience again into a bizarre universe, a byzantine cosmos dominated by female humans, cyborgs & AIs. Some of them are very powerful & shrewd. This universe is full of violence, sabotage and treason and tumultuous events are happening. I found it amusing how all these weird beings were interacting, how they fought each other or made love. I might read more by Sriduangkaew some day.
