Summer Reading

Over the summer all students were prompted to read at least to books to discuss in their English or LA class when they got back.
I read more then two books but, I would like to focus on the two Science fiction novels that I read over the summer. The first book that I read is called "Super toys last all summer long" by Brian Aldiss. I was written in 1969 and has had a movie mad that is based on it. The movie is called A.I. Artificial Intelligence and was written by Stanley Kubrick and later after he died, was passed onto Steven Spielberg. But moving on the book is about David a kindergartener that also happens to be the robotic child of Monica and Henry Swinton which are both living in a overpopulated city in a ritzy apartment in the year 2104. David loves his mother Monica very much, but he is unsure of her loving him in return. Monica is the isolated trophy wife of Henry and she is very sad about her isolated life and her denial to have a real child. In this overpopulated future Henry works for a corporation that designs and builds humanoid robots and they had already created a robot who can love. This is our protagonist, David, the boy who's love is real but he is not. This book was a short story and was very interesting and ended on a bitter sweet note which was Monica and Henry getting approved to have a child. This made David very sad but he still got to stay with them.


The next book that I read over the summer was called "The Minority Report" by Phillp K. Dick.
It takes place in New york in the year 2054 and talks about how pre-crime which allows the manipulation of future crimes to be changed by the people in the department. The Pre-Cogs predict the crimes which are then sent to the computer displays for analyzation by John Anderton. John Anderton is the protagonist  and is a unfit and very bald person but he is the creator of pre crime which he started in 2046 but, later on in the story he finds out that he is going to kill someone because that is depicted in the pre vision that he sees on the monitor. This persons name is General Leopold Kaplan which he kills at the end to keep pre crime from being destroyed. But the book is very interesting and I would recommend this to anybody who likes and enjoys Science Fiction.
And those are both of my synopses.
Enjoy! :)
