Read Book Review

British novelist and teacher Amelia Barr once said, “The great difference between voyages rests not with the ships, but with the people you meet on them.” In the construction of ships and mechanics in general, it is important not only to examine the non-organic building blocks of that ship but the bio-organics, or the people, who help construct and run those ships as well. In author Wai Kit Chiang’s book Jonathan’s Venture, the author uses a unique format to explore the study of non-organic, bioorganic and social autonomy as a whole.

In this book, the author constructs a science fiction narrative to explore the study and mechanics of mechanical, social and bio-organic autonomy. Delving into mathematical formulas and the science behind these studies, the author incorporates this into a story of space exploration and brings a creative way to allow readers and students alike to deep dive into this subject matter.

The author provided a one of a kind experiences for readers to explore this subject matter. From energy supply and the building blocks of the materials used in the ship’s construction to the interactions amongst the crew of this space station and the important functions the bio-organic materials function in relation to the crew and the ship are expertly interwoven into the fabric of this sci-fi read.

This is a book written for anyone who enjoys educational books that are fused together with science fiction genre reads. It is detailed in its delivery and has an even balance of educational material with sci-fi narrative and character development. While the narrative can come across as a bit mechanical at times, the overall tone of the story and the educational practices the author employs throughout the book make for a truly fascinating and a unique read.

Author Wai Kit Chiang’s book Jonathan’s Venture is a brilliant read that readers and students alike won’t be able to put down. It shows a creative and expertly crafter foundation of thought that brings a new perspective to both the education of nonorganic, bio-organic and social autonomy to the sci-fi genre as a whole.
