Typical is that it is based in a future that is not very bright for the human race. First time reading from this genre. I chose because it was the only reasonable genre of the ones we got to pick from.

Well, I read a dystopia, which is a genre that describes the future, often quite dark and sad. 

My book this far, seems to fill it´s quota just fine. It´s bad and hopeless, there is no light in their miserable lifes. 
So yes, a solid dystopia.

Now i have read the beginning of the book Blackout.
The book immideately starts quite confusing and it's hard to keep up sometimes. It seems like the author don't tell everything and points at happenings that the reader don't know anything about because of that you just have started reading the book.

The book is about a group on three people that living the year 2060. They are going to use a time machine to go back and study different points of the history.
We meet Eileen O'Reilly, Mike Davies and Polly Churchill.

Eileen are going to time travel to a rich estate in Warwickshire, there she is going to work among the servants at the estate. She is going to observe a huge amount of evacuee children being sent from London.
Mike Davies is going to work as a American journalist to covering Dunkirk evacuation efforts.
Polly Churchill is traveling to London in the midst of the Blitz to observe girls that are working in department stores and become a one self so she can observe the girls as best as possible.

But just when the were about to leave they change the traveling positions.

I think that it's going to be a confusing start on their journey, and that it's going to be a alot of faults in the beginning.

We have now pressed deeper in than anyone ever before us. We have overcome unpassable obstacles, unnamable hazards, and a severe case of bad focus.

The plot is that machines are a big part of the world and the gene bank is getting close and the world is overpopulated, based on the review of the librarian I think they will start killing of their population to free up space and make the need for food less imoportant and that no one will starve.

The main character is Saul and he is a human and is against the closing of the gene bank, don't know realy what will happen to him as he was just intruduced to me.

Hello there!

My name is Jennifer. In our class we been given the mission to create a blog in groups, there we are going to write about the books we have chosen to read.

I have chosen to read a dystopia, Blackout by Connie Willis. I have always been interested in what's going to happen in the future, because that's something that includes all of us and it’s very thrilling to read.

hELLO EVERYONE.

I am Hampus, I picked the book "The Departure", it sounded fun. I do this because it's a part of my lesson.
