Book Report #1.

     Peter Hamilton's The Reality Dysfunction has made its deferential mark in the science fiction field. Throughout this story, in which is told very efficiently and with a certain profound brevity. This is a massive story written on 1094 pages, whilst this is the first part of a trilogy, every turned page is just learning more and more about the writing ethic this author aliments us with. With compelling character development, the book is alive and revolves around future civilization. It's an interstellar adventure, with entertainment and seriousness all at once. The book offers an amplitude of information of how the alteration of terraforming planets effects us.
     The premise of this story is revolving around art, commerce, war and general politics based between an alliance called the Confederacy, a group of colonized worlds. The remaining population of humanity has split into two branches: the Adamists, who completely alter their bodies, whereas the Edenistss use telepathic communication between themselves and the sentient spacecraft in which they pilot; all based on an "affinity gene" that's still in development to create sentient orbital environments in which they will further inhabit. Only the Adamists practice a religion.
     Furthermore the author keeps a strong plot at pretty much all times, and really defines with clarity how the ramifications of what goes on Lalonde (the main planet) are censorious to civilization at a speeding scale.
     At the end of the book, you realize that in this trilogy scarce was covered, and you want to read more. The implications surrounding metaphysical activity are breath-taking.
