Authors I Like: Chuck Palahniuk, Aleksandr Belyaev

I don't really like american writers, I am in to Russian science fiction - Alexander Belyaev is my god and Professor Dowell's Head is my bible. Seriously, it's my favorite book, well maybe after Master and Margarita by Bulgakov, I re read it a million times, however when I talk about it no one ever has the idea what it is and what it's all about, what makes me like it even more.

So for some strange reason I liked Chuck Palahniuk, even though I never really admitted it to myself or anyone else, even though I really liked Fight Club and Guts (fascinating story about a boy and a circulation pump in a swimming pool haha) I thought that he was over hyped. Obviously after reading that:

“We'll never be as young as we are tonight.” 

(Rant)

There is so much in those simple words, that make me so melancholic about it, never better said.

Her

I was skeptical after seeing the trailer of the film for the first time. Then I found out that my favorite band Arcade Fire has written and composed a whole album as a soundtrack for Her I am now super excited in anticipation to see the actual film, because I loved the album, especially instrumental pieces.

Her (2013) is a science fiction drama about the romance between a lonely writer and a artificially intelligent operating system.

Having read a lot of reviews I am now really intrigued, as it appears to be true to it's genre and incredibly sad at the moment. Which I think might be very interesting plot for film, living in high technological world and spending more and more time online. The line between real and unreal, artificially created by the humans is really blurry. Somehow I still think it's a little bit ironical. Like a love story between Iphone user and super intelligent Siri of the future.
