![]() NewsProper noun frequency in MAKERS
Jeff Clark sez, "I've created a graphic from the text of 'Makers' that shows the distribution of the various proper nouns in your work. It seems to do a pretty good job of communicating the ebb and flow of the various characters throughout the book." This works amazingly well -- I've never seen an automated text analysis that was so revealing of the emotional and plot elements of a book! |
In speculative fiction, too often the ideas outrun the writing, but not here. Doctorow’s novel features a good, modest story, appealing characters, and extremely interesting ideas that will appeal to his fans and sf aficionados as well as readers interested in cogitating on the social consequences of cybertechnology’s near-exponential growth. Enthusiastically recommended.
