Maladapted, a book which I recommend from now: it is a stunning and captivating read from the first page till the last. Kurti has not only given us a glimpse into the future, but instead a whole insight. The cliché of ‘never a dull moment,’ can be used to an ironically brilliant effect. From when the religion and scientific viewpoints are not even introduced, to when they are so opposed, they form a friendship, futuristic themes provide the atmosphere of suspense throughout.
I particularly enjoy how each setting is never introduced, symbolic of the fast-paced ‘organised confusion’ Kurti creates with a swirl of creativity. There is never a line where I am not whirring about the previous or possible future encounters. Deep emotion is lacking, in my opinion, but again Kurti has been the master of his own writing. He forces a side-track for one to delve into the themes and issues he portrays, not the emotions of the characters themselves.
I highly recommend this book to anyone. A spin of imagination is all the reader needs to look into any aspect of the future in Maladapted.
