Generation Ship by Michael Mammay

😀😀😀😀😀 What a great read. It's not high literature. Not sure it will become an SF classic, but it is a well written, engaging story with an excellent plot, which I couldn't stop reading. Main themes are politics, ethics of colonisation, and alien life. The story is told from multiple perspectives. We follow the events from the point of view of five main characters. Each in separate chapters. I liked the way Mammay constructed each character and revealed their (political) intentions both in their own and other chapters. There's one politician devising his strategies using people like pieces in a chessboard. A scientist following science strictly, with little consideration of its social implications. This one is my favourite character. My second favourite character is a computer hacker concerned about the ship's integrity because, obviously, the ship is their home and has been for many generations. None of the characters is good or bad. They all have layers. They are all imperfect and very human. In terms of the story, I wished it was longer. I wanted to know more about what happens at the end, or perhaps I wish there was a sequel. 🤞
