Rachel Unkefer reviewed Terra incognita by Connie Willis
Review of 'Terra incognita' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I’m a big fan of Connie Willis’s time travel books, and was looking for some light reading after the holidays, so I pulled this off my TBR shelf.
I didn’t enjoy the first novella, which was too long and too full of extraterrestrial jargon. Lots of humor, but not much point to it.
The second novella was well done and a great commentary on intellectual property and the film industry’s reliance on remaking the same movies over and over. Also the general public’s dependence on familiar tropes, narcissism, and addictive substances (abbreviated in the story as AS). It’s a remarkably prescient story, first published in 1995.
The third novella is really more of a short story with a fun twist. Clever and entertaining
