I read this entire book in the airport and on a flight from Italy to Boston. I couldn't stop reading it....I LOVED this book....It was so well written, both smart and funny (I laughed out loud on several occassions...probably to the dismay of the travelers on either side of me). I tend to read a lot of books about food and cooking...but this is not your typical foodie novel. A few people have said it wasn't "believable" but I don't mind a bit of fancy, or fantasy, mixed into a story - - I actually quite like it. Having worked in the tech industry in the Bay Area , I really enjoyed the parts that took place at work. Loved the Lois Club and the Beo email arcs as well. I haven't read any other books by Robin Sloan, but I ordered one immediately upon finishing this one.!
Being a programmer and loving San Francisco, I loved the first part of the book. I thought the feel of working in Big Tech was spot on, as were the personalities of the people you find there. However, the second half went a little zaney/ twilight zone for me and really did not love it from that point on. It is well written and I had no problem reading the story each night. I am a little surprised that I did not see anyone mention one of the best features of this book. Here I am reading a section where yeasty creatures are blooping and blopping to the music and putting on a light show. So I finished reading this, turned out my red head lamp and turned my head to place the book on my nightstand. And something was glowing in my hand. I looked again, and realized that the spiral design on the front jacket was definitely glowing brightly in the dark. What a great effect. How fun.
This is a very fun read, humorous in a light way and yet thoughtful and carefully constructed. The novel takes place in a very central San Francisco, at the intersection of the newer hipster wave of startup companies, the unabashed role of the immigrant experience, and California cuisine and related bay area foodiness. As a bay area resident, startup worker, and foodie, this all resonated... Sometimes with tongue in cheek, and sometimes with a critical of not accusatory eye. I loved the image of the robotics software developer who scarcely sets for in her apartment and certainly never cooks being presented with a gift that calls on her to learn to bake bread from a magical sourdough. The novelty of the Mazg culture (in multiple senses) is amusing and creative. The depiction of startups is quite accurate but hilarious with images such as the table of dedicated slurry (read Soylent... not the only such equivalency in the book) drinkers among those enjoying the free gourmet meals. The conflict element between or heroine and the forces of darkness didn't grab me as much, but it worked well enough.If of the above makes any kind of sense to you, or you just enjoy a good uplifting and non-dark read, give this one a try.
If technology and biology were magic this novel would be Fantasy Story set in the kingdom of San Francisco and the Alameda Air Strip would be the forest with the wizards. Instead it's set in the present day. The story bleeds quietly into the fantastical but not too far. It sits there on the edge of things I recognize and know exist but touches them ever so lightly with the aroma of magic. That feeling that there is so much more in the world than we comprehend making me feel like I live in a world where magic also sits.And then I realized. It's bacteria and fungus. Sloan managed to make me think bacteria and fungus was magical and quirky and likable and scary.It starts slow. I put it down after 2 pages and nearly didn't pick it up again. And then yesterday I remembered that Sloan has already proven his worth to me with Mr. Penumbra and so I picked it up again and did not regret it. Push ahead. Meet the starter.
I thought the beginning of this book was much more interesting than the second half of the book. Who knew there was a "Lois Club" but sure enough, it exists. The computer programming aspect of this book as it relates to baking was bizarre to me. The concept of consuming Slurry made me nauseous which I think set the tone for me for the rest of the book. All of the offerings at the Marrow Fair were so strange so my level of interest was minimal.Clearly I am in the minority given all of the positive reviews of this book but this one was not for me.
A wonderful, smart, quirky and hopeful journey through America's rapid blending if technology and life. unlike many technology-laced writers, Sloan is hopeful and has faith in the goodness of us. Like Mr. Penumbras, this book is devourable whole and leaves you thinking. I want to think this is a smart allegory for our civilization. Or maybe its valuable just because its a wonderful story. Thank you, Mr. Sloan!
This book started out great and I liked its almost futuristic vibe - but it seemed stuck between the present and the future -and not in a good way. The main character’s love for sourdough and her new life never seemed to pick up speed and by the time I was reading the last 1/4 of the book, I couldn’t wait for it to be over. This book was all over the place for me and doesn’t make me want to read this author’s other very popular book. This book would have been so much better if it had been a little more futuristic or adventurous.
Wow. Can slow food be industrialized food? Are they antithetical to one another? Is quality food about the nutritional value? The taste? The process of making it? The exclusion of artificial ingredients? The history? How do concerns about quality or natural food integrate with ideas about feeding our planet's hungry people on a workable scale?These are questions a reader will ponder while reading Robin Sloan's excellent novel, Sourdough. The characters are well formed and the plot is unusual and compelling. The story is mysterious and funny and thought provoking. It's a great read.(Four stars because the ending felt a bit rushed .)
