5/13/2023 0 Comments The half made world![]() His is a world overrun with dueling ideologies. There is a way to interpret much of what goes on here as a kind of parable about American expansionism and manifest destiny. We understand as much about his world as its inhabitants do. It’s an intriguing premise around which Gilman builds great mystique simply by explaining little to none of it. Gilman’s story is set in a curious world that is still undergoing its own creation in its westernmost boundaries, while war rages among human and non-human factions in the pioneer civilization pushing against those boundaries. But Felix Gilman demonstrated most ably that there was life in those old pistons yet with his third novel, The Half-Made World. Steampunk was a genre that was already well and truly overexposed by 2010. Share book reviews and ratings with Thomas, and even join a book club on Goodreads.
