by Rainyh (see profile) 04/30/10
This is our list of discussion questions we used to start a conversation about Chasm City: 1. Did you like Chasm City by Alastair Reynolds? 2. Did the story pull you into the world that Reynolds has set up for us? Is the writing easy or difficult to follow? 3. Has he explained enough for you to understand the science fiction concepts that he has created? And was the science involved in the story believable? 4. Are Sky Haussman, Tanner Mirabell and Cahuella good or bad people? 5. What is the relationship between Tanner and the Sky visions that he is receiving? Did these dreams and hallucinations help you understand the story or make it more complicated? 6. What do you think about the social structure in Chasm City? How are the mulch and canopy different and how do they interact with each other? 7. What are the problems that can arise when people can achieve immorality? Would you want to get the therapy yourself? 8. Is Reynolds trying to make any large points in this novel? What do you think he is hoping the reader learns from this story?
