Urban Nucleus sequence by Michael Bishop
Requirements: ePUB reader, 9.2mb
Overview: In the Urban Nucleus sequence comprising A Little Knowledge (1977) and its sequel, Catacomb Years (fixup 1979), a theocratic regime repressively dominates a Near-Future Atlanta, Georgia, until the conversion of some Alien “Cygnusians” begins to destabilize society; the vision of Atlanta as a domed City whose various levels and intersections literally map the new social order may be cognitively daring, but – for reasons hinted at above – it thins out in the mind’s eye when described without joy. The collaborative, non-urban Under Heaven’s Bridge (1980) with Ian Watson is loosely connected to Urban Nucleus in that it builds on Watson’s fascination with the Cygnusians (here the Kybers) and their home world, which is visited via Starship and found to be doomed.
