“We Have Just Never Listened to Women”: Patrick Ness on Chaos Walking’s Relevance Today

New DVD releasechaos, listened, never, patrick, relevance, walking, women

Patrick Ness’ 2008 science fiction young adult novel The Knife of Never Letting Go was published the same year as Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games, but while the latter launched a dystopian YA franchise, Ness’ Chaos Walking series seemed to attract more of a cult following despite tackling similar early-2000s issues through a speculative lens. While Collins struck an arrow through the heart of reality television, Ness turned his attention to information overload, manifesting it as the Noise: an ever-present broadcast of one’s most private, cringeworthy, hateful, earnest thoughts for all to hear—but only for men. On the “New World,”…

Star Wars Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising Review

New DVD releaseascendancy, chaos, review, rising, thrawn

About three quarters through the newest novel in Timothy Zahn’s long-running Thrawn series, a character notes that he “hadn’t the slightest idea what Thrawn was doing. But the small smile on the Chiss’s face chilled him straight to the bone.” If this is what you’re coming to this book for — tactical puzzles where you won’t really know what the protagonist is doing or why, but get to play an adoring Watson to his cold Holmes — you’ll probably like this. Chaos Rising is more of the same, a series of puzzles that breaks a lot of the rules that…
