And i......sorry, Radix by A.A. Attanasio from 1981.<br />And if you like those perhaps some of China Mieville's books may touch you also. Again not so light but equally vision inspiring.Ivon1167https://www.blogger.com/profile/18311860885313596776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7694856.post-54396979197916083652012-07-15T09:18:22.503+01:002012-07-15T09:18:22.503+01:00I liter rally just came across this posting today....I liter rally just came across this posting today. I haven't thought about these 3 books for a long long time.<br />I read the first 2, Out of a Silent Planet and Voyage to Venus when I was around 10 years old in the UK. <br />They triggered an amazing and intense vision in me. The descriptions of Venus and the unfathomable beauty just clicked so well with me.<br /><br />I hunted them down and read them all again when I was 37! Venus still sounded so wonderful! The 3rd book I found much less easy to read and it took a long time. It felt like the inspiration of book 2 and to a lesser extent 1, were gone in favor of a more dark, intellectual and heavy world. Not sure what the timeline was for cs Lewis writing these, but book 2 was truly inspired!<br /><br />I have all 3 in the Penguin edition here with me now, I live in Malaysia! I bought them all in Australia.<br /><br />You know, my trade for 13+ years has been cgi, 3d animation, and now I'm a trainer for a big computer games company. My unaccomplished vision was to put these books, at least books1 and 2 into a film. I'm being commissioned right now to come up with a mobile game concept. This might the one!<br /><br />The spirit in these books surely does infiltrate lives in an unseen and ever lasting way!<br /><br />Nice to see that they effect others in the same way.<br />Well, if the game gets off the ground, check out Apples iStore in the next few months!<br /><br />Enjoy the worlds within!<br />Cheers<br />Ivon in Malaysia.<br />Btw in a darker way, Radix also pulled me in too!
