Helpful Score: 2
I found this book to be very interesting! I loved watching the stories unfold, and seeing how they connected to each other. I think maybe I was a little slow at realizing the climax of the book. I don't want to say too much about it because as soon as the plot begins stuff is given away. I think this is a story that the main idea will stick with me a long time - the idea that as long as someone remembers you, there are different stages of death.
Reading this, I was very much reminded of Neil Gaiman's works. He has a theme that crops up in several of his stories about cities sleeping and dreaming, and the people living in the cities just being parts of those dreams. This isn't the plot of "Brief History," but it does have that similar feeling.
The story says it is a novel, but it also could be classified as near-future science fiction.
Over all it was a very good, fast read that I am sure will stay with me for a long time.
