I haven't gotten far in the story but I think it's about a war between us and Mars. This is supposed to take place in the early 20th century. This book was written when scifi was very interesting. I also know that before televisions, things would be played on the radio. When they played War of the Worlds on the radio it sounded as if a reporter was telling the events of what was going on. Some people tuned in late and thought that it was real. Back then it was believable. Lots of people committed suicide because they thought they were being attacked by martians. I have a recording of this radio broadcast on CD and it did sound real if you believed it was real. There were also 30 second intermissions with cheesy music, but that's beside the point. I will keep you updated once I get a hold of the plot.
well as far as you are in the book would you saw that the book is real close to the Tom Cruise or the old World of The Wars movie.

ReplyDeleteAre you saying that scifi isn't interesting anymore??? I love scifi!
That is interesting that you have the radio recording. but how is scifi not interesting anymore? i DONT read scifi but a book like that sounds interesting. When you get farther can you tell me if it is similar to the movie Independence Day?
ReplyDeleteScifi was believable and people thought of it as fact not fiction as we do today. That is the kind of interesting is what I'm talking about.
