Samanta schweblin little eyes6/29/2023 ![]() ![]() In Tell The Machine, it was a computer that could tell anyone how to be happy, and Williams turned that (rather disruptive, obviously impossible) technology into a quiet, slow-burn drama of family and human connection that was one of my favorite books of the past few years. It then introduces one small thing - one little change, one product, one tweaked application of a totally familiar technology - and tracks the ripples of chaos that it creates. ![]() It is a place with all our recognizable horrors, all our familiar comforts and sweetnesses, as familiar (as if anything could be familiar these days) as yesterday's shoes. Like Katie Williams's 2018 novel Tell The Machine Goodnight before it, Little Eyes supposes a world that is our world, five minutes from now. Which is probably one of the reasons why Little Eyes, her new novel (translated from Spanish by Megan McDowell) reads like such great science fiction. ![]() Samanta Schweblin is not a science fiction writer.
