Read this last year, gave it a 7.5 out of 10. Great contribution to the Cyberpunk genre, cool concepts that I borrowed for my own writing purposes. Cool story as well, the narrative on how the (((elites))) are and will always be a bunch of pedos is reflective of the current world. Great mind-bending network sci-fi, like connecting your brain to a camera and seeing through it, getting trapped in cyberspace and slowly fading away, hacking people's tec and killing them with brutal viruses, self-inserting your conscious into an artificial body for sexual gratification (trans people's wet dream (probably something that will happen in the future)) and lots of other great shit that I love. If you haven't read it and are a fan of Cyberpunk, highly recommend, also probably has one of the coolest cover ever.
>>23398471shit book, shit thread kill yourself OP
>>23398471If Zelazny gives it such a blurb it's probably good
Can anyone truly be a postmodernist? It seems to me that those who use postmodern rhetoric, just want to replace the current modernist structures with their own. They might even hold a linear view of history, which culminates in the liberation of "opressed" groups. This leads me to believe that its all a big psyop to force our compliance. Any books for this?
I AM LE WACKY IRONIC SELF AWARE GUY WHO DOESN'T BELIEVE IN A GRAND NARRATIVE BUT WE NEED TO LIBERATE LE OPPRESSED A CATEGORY I CANNOT ADEQUATELY DEFINE NOR CAN I ASCRIBE A MORAL IMPETUS FOR THAT CAUSE AS I DENY A GRAND NARRATIVE AND RUN AWAY INTO MORAL RELATIVISM AND DENY ANY ESSENCE TO ANYTHING BUT HERE'S WHY WE NEED TO DO THIS LEFT WING POLITICAL THING BECAUSE I JUST REALLY REALLY LIKE POOPY SHAMEFUL BUTT SEX BUT DON'T WANT IT TO BE SHAMEFUL I DECONSTRUCT YOU NUTHIN PERSONELL *obscurantism*

All the possible terminologies and creative wording and concepts have all been laid out for us 50 fucking years before we were born. TRY and write Cyberpunk without regurgitating what another book said YEARS ago and that sounds way better, just try.

Are his works worth reading?What about his letters/essays?
>>23398291Absolutely. Schiller is in the top fifty of critic-philosophers. He's top five among the Germans.
>>23398291Schiller is a genius. The aesthetic letters are a work that can change your life
>>23398388Marcuse:>Schiller's Letters ... aim at a remaking of civilization by virtue of the liberating force of the aesthetic function: it is envisaged as containing the possibility of a new reality principle.Isn't this what fascism was all about?

what are the best chivalry books? was the order of chivalry or equestrian order real, or a book only thing? was Cervantes right in burning all chivalry books or did he make a mistake?
>>23398764Ramon Llull
>>23398764>what are the best chivalry books?You mean works of fiction about knights or non-fiction books about how to be chivalric? The only book of the latter type that I know of is A Knight's Own Book of Chivalry by Geoffroi de Charny. But if you're wanting the former, here are some of major works as well as some of my personal favorites:>The Works of Chretien de Troyes (Erec and Enide, Cliges, Lancelot, Yvain, and Percival Chretien de Troyes didn't invent the genre of chivalric romance but his works are where they were really perfected and what popularized the genre throughout Europe. Erec and Enide and Yvain are my favorites but Lancelot and Percival are worth reading too. But he died while writing Percival and the story ends mid-sentence. Many other writers wrote their own continuations but none of them are very good.>The Prose Lancelot-Grail CycleInteresting but very long and repetitive. The image most people have of the tales of King Arthur, Lancelot, the Holy Grail etc. come from this. Many of the stories are pretty much self-contained (The Story of the Grail, The Death of King Arthur, etc.) and are often sold as their own stand alone books.>ParzivalA German version of Percival written by very eccentric Bavarian knight who takes the story in some very strange directions. My favorite Grail story but it's the most unlike the story of the Holy Grail most people think of.>Tristan and IsoldeThe German version of the legend of Tristan. I think this is also the best version of that legend it's the one Wagner based his opera on.>Romance of the RoseHighly allegorical story that was hugely popular in the middle ages. I haven't read it yet but I'm including it for posterity's sake.>Gawain and the Green KnightOne of the few Arthurian legends actually written in England that's actually worth reading.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>23398925>Orlando InnamoratoAn Italian Renaissance story that blends the Arthurian legends with the legends of Charlemagne and his paladins, which is a whole other body of literature altogether. It's another case where the writer died before he could finish it. Very good and is only forgotten because its sequel is even better.>Orlando FuriosoSequel to Orlando Innamorato and one of the most entertaining things you will ever read. It doesn't take itself too seriously but it doesn't go so far as make everything a joke either. There's an often repeated narrative that Innamorato was a serious work while Furioso is a comedy but that's not true. There is more humor in Furioso but both works have a fair amount of comedy, drama and, above all, adventure>Amadis of GaulSpanish prose work that was extremely influential in the Renaissance. Cervantes himself adored it and thought to be the best chivalric tale ever written. The first two books are the best but 3 and 4 are still good. >Jerusalem DeliveredIt's sort of like the Iliad but set during the First Crusade with the Crusaders encamped outside the walls of Jerusalem like the Greeks outside of Troy. Godrey de Boullion is like Agamemnon, Peter the Hermit is like Nestor, Tancred is like Odysseyous, etc. There are also a lot of elements of chivalric romance blended into the story that gives it its own identity. One of my favorites.>The Faerie QueeneMy all time favorite. It's a mix of chivalric romances, classical epics, and medieval allegories and was basically the first modern fantasy story. It's broken up into 6 books that each deal with a different virtue. That was the plan anyway, but the writer gave up on that around book 3 and just let his imagination go off the rails. If you're going to read this, I'd say just read the first book at first. It's the best one and functions as a self-contained story. If you like it, then check out the rest. Just know that, once again, the writer died before he could finish it.>was the order of chivalry or equestrian order real, or a book only thing?It was real and was taken very seriously but no one ever agreed on what the exact code of chivalry was.>was Cervantes right in burning all chivalry booksComment too long.
