Representaion To Books The Black Corridor (Sailing to Utopia #2)

The Black Corridor is a science fiction novel by Michael Moorcock, published in 1969, first by Ace Books in the USA, as part of their Ace Science Fiction Specials series, and later by Mayflower Books in the UK.
It is essentially a novel about the decay of society and the deep personal and social isolation this has caused, and tells of a man fleeing through interstellar space from Earth, where civilisation is collapsing into anarchy and wars. The author uses techniques ranging from straight narrative to entries in the spaceship's log, dream sequences and sixties-style computer printouts.

Crit Of Books The Black Corridor (Sailing to Utopia #2)

A mundanely pessimistic vision of the future, but with the social catastrophe a backdrop for the psychological unhinging of the main character en route to colonize a new planet. Perhaps a more artful prose stylist (like Bradbury) could elevate the material. The novel starts off exceedingly slow and only becomes truly surprising towards the very end. It would've made a better Twilight Zone episode rather than a novel, the narrative is slim and lacks deep insight. Moorcock does get points,

How misanthropic. I can't say that I liked reading this book, since everyone in it was very unpleasant. But I'll bet you a dollar this gets made into a movie in the next few years; xenophobia and paranoia are the creeping horrors du jour. We're all monsters, really, and if monstrous behavior starts being encouraged rather than censured, it's a very quick slide down to nightmare-land.

So a Moocock book. After reading the review at Graeme's Fantasy Book Review I decided to buy and read it. In my opinion the book was not as good as he portrayed it. The book is divided in two parts... the first part is the ramblings of Ryan (our main protagonist) as he travels into another galaxy to settle there with his family. Inbetween chapters we learn about their society and why they must do the voyage. The book is quite easy to read but there are a lot of references of Moorcock own

Predictable and depressing, but interesting and well-written for the vein of dated sci-fi that it falls under.

I was looking for a little escape in the year of our lord 2017, and then dropped into this fresh hell of all our fears made real. Which isn't to say I didn't like it.The Black Corridor, not to spoil too much, is the chronicle of the world's descent into madness, mirrored in the experience of one man. The entire world is swept by a wave of racism and paranoia and proceeds to tear itself apart, leading one small band of refugees to flee to outer space. Have they really escaped, or have they been

Written at a time when the new wave of sci-fi (of which Moorcock was a strong contributor) was starting to gain significant traction, this novel exemplifies much of what it was about. This is not a space adventure where our heroes blast the bad aliens and save humanity (and the good aliens), rather it is a dark psychological story (almost more a horror story), which looks at the character flaws in humanity that would lead (45 years later) to Brexit and Trump.It's a challenging book to read -

This is an unpleasant, but well written novel. At first, it appears to be a novel about interplanetary colonization, but in the end, it is really a dystopian novel about humanity gone mad. (view spoiler)[An extended family is on a mission to colonize another planet. One member is awake to monitor the mission. He is very lonely and spends his time recalling what led them to their current circumstances. Turns out that society on Earth is breaking down. People are paranoid of each other and can
