Read during PKP...some are really good and some I have to skip. Still an enjoying anthology... it has Malaysian taste in it...
I actually really enjoyed this anthology better than I expected. Wanted to read this before we hit the new year and super glad this was so good I finished it early than I anticipated. Some were very astounding, pretty okay-ish and some I don't think it went with the 2020 theme. I love how some of it associated with sci-fi and dystopian world. And it's nice reading about equality, racism and what the future maybe can offer us in alternate universe. 😂Some of my favourites will be : - Masalodeh by
An anthology of what 2020 could have been... I hope Fixi publish another one portraying what 2020 truly was. None had imagined this post-apocalypse world that we now occupy. There are some memorable stories here though the overall quality is uneven. I like the Last Malayan, Skin Dye, Hukum, and White-clothed Society.
The 'futuristic anthology in the present tense' from the blurb caught my attention at first, I was never a fan of fancy future science-fic stuff but somehow was attracted to try this one out. Consist of 20 short stories by 19 authors, it was a mixed of various genres and not really focusing on the 'futuristic' part. Some are, but most of it were honestly fun and witty, pinch of relatable current issues-- family and friendship, lifestyle and career also about one's concern and responsibilies. Few...
Antologi ini diterbitkan tanpa mengetahui bagaimana 2020 akan dilalui. Realiti yang tak seindah mana. My personal favorites is Masalodeh, Program #AngkasaRaya2030, Skin Dyes and The Last Malayan.
Kinda enjoyed reading this. Ada bermacam jenis cerita. Ada yang make sense, ada yang macam hmm tak ada pun takpe kot. Ada yang tak faham pun nak cerita pasal apa Confused faceI love reading how the writers bayangkan how 2020 (and the future) akan dilalui especially now that we're in the middle of a pandemic. Realiti yang tak macam apa yang kita sangkakan. Kereta terbang? Wawasan 2020? Program Jelajah Angkasa? Pffft! Lupakan je lah semua tu. Until we have a good bunch of leaders and goverment yan...
My first book in 2021. Well it is a good book starter for me to read after so long being a reading slump. My favorites are Hukum, The White-Clothed Society, Masalodeh, The Last Malayan, Awakening and Skin Dyes. Other stories look so boring to me because I couldn’t digest their storyline.
Some hit the spot and some not. Anuar Shah telling Malaysian politics as it is.Tina Issac was fun read and you could almost hear the characters' voices. I cried reading Natasha Gideon. Linges put me through of the unseen eyes of nobody.
Some of the short stories left good impression, invaded my thought for a while, made me wonder. Hang Terbang, Hukum, Program Angkasaraya 2030 & Masalodeh are some of my favourites.Some are just mere filler. Good read, though.
Tak tahu lah nak cakap apa. Semasa baca buku ini, ada cerita yang bagus dan ada yang tak perlu masukkan dalam buku ini. Aku tak dapat nak tangkap apa yang penulis cuba sampaikan sebenarnya, sampai aku kena baca lagi sekali. Adakah penulis mahu menerapkan nilai-nilai tersebut di masa akan datang? Tiada pengajaran yang aku dapat di dalam setengah karya di dalam buku ini.
TLDR: This book can draw emotion well in its best parts; at worst, it is anvilicious and as heavy-handed as your discipline teacher's rotan.Having been a fan of Fixi Novo's output over the last few years, due to its emphasis on urban Malaysian fiction, I picked this up on its concept alone.Some of the best stories in this anthology deal directly at the heart of the matter. 0202 was a particular standout in this case, highlighting the stark disparity between both the expected 2020 and the 2020 we...
A couple of standout story. It's good to read about other races culture and perspective of things.
I remember what i like the most about short stories compilation by fixi novo. It's the variety of culture and true manglish we can see from the compilation. It has malay culture, as well as chinese and indian which we cannot find in almost another malay short stories compilation.For this book, eventhough there is nothing like what had happened in the past year, it is still nice to see what others think and expect from 2020 especially when we all know about 2020 vision by Tun Mahathir. However in...
3 stars. A good effort by Fixi Novo to compile another collection of fiction & essays on year 2020. In this book, you will find sci-fi, reflective essays and surprisingly one story in Malay. The stories are fairly good, to be honest. I enjoyed "Hang Terbang", "Masalondeh", "Awakening", "Skin Dyes" & "The Last Malayan".One story has explicit sexual content in it. Content warning should have been informed in the introduction!Hang Terbang would be a lot better if it were to be slightly longer. I wa...
