Stockholm: A Novel (English Edition) Formato Kindle

A struggling and not-so-young advertising creative, Anakin Carver meets Natasha von Ottmann, an up and coming actress working on his new campaign, and accidentally makes her famous. Now romantically involved with a celebrity, Carver finds himself connected into the landscape of popular media and entertainment; a labyrinth of mistrust, petty politics and desperate grasps for power.


"Everything Is True. Nothing Is Permitted."


In a time of unrest and social change, Anakin Carver may become one of the most influential figures never known. As civilization moves toward both utopia and ruin, all it may need is a subtle push in either direction.


Written in an exciting new format of thirteen "episodes", rather than traditional chapters, STOCKHOLM is designed to be enjoyed like a full season of a cable television series. Each episode satirizes our culture's obsessions with social connection, class conflict, the evolving role of celebrity, the reaches of government and how one man's choices can either help enlighten or destroy our way of life.

Descrizione prodotto

L'autore

Kian Kaul (1976-) born in Santa Barbara, California, has spent the last decade working in Los Angeles as a creative. An adopter of the philosophy of "the style of no style", he has found himself involved in music, new media, television, film and now literature. He considers himself an expert in nothing and aspires to know all. His first foray into long-form fiction produced "Stockholm", originally planned as a sitcom, inexplicably became his debut novel. A follow-up is currently in the works.

4,0 su 5 stelle Anakin is the kind of antihero us oldsters can appreciate.
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 31 dicembre 2011

Anakin is the kind of anti-hero us oldsters can appreciate. Without going into all the details of plot that other reviewers have ably described, I offer some observations and suggestions.

We baby boomers see the world changing rapidly, and sometimes fearfully, into a techno-driven morass. The fear comes from watching what makes us human and humane, disappear into social media dominated shallow and tenuous connections with other people and institutions, where meaningful, goal directed behavior and conversation is lost in the moment to moment focus on either revenue or reputation. Anakin is an unlikely and welcome antihero; he is foible, but fluent in the new order of a social media-run economy. His beautifully elucidated stream of consciousness shows a slightly neurotic and schizoid character, but one complexly layered with enough humanity drawn from a surprisingly eclectic knowledge of history, psychology, and literature, enabling him to not only make astute observations of the power dynamics and non-verbal human communications around him, but to comprehend and use the force of the Machiavellian world he inhabits against itself, in true martial arts/Jedi form.

The author's writing style is very visual; seeing that he comes from a film background, I wonder if he has thought of other platforms for his story, such as film, or, following Anakin's methods, a blog serial, or podcast audio version? I, for one, look forward to further adventures and hope there is at least a sequel in the works. I have heartily recommended this book to my peers and grandchildren alike.

The opening chapter tried to set the "hook" as all good books do, however, the suspense went on too long. As a reader, I could never get my footing. Finally I gave up and went on to another book. Sorry...

Stockholm is both fascinating and frustrating. The premise is compelling- it examines the possible outcome of our social media obsession interweaving with governmental control taken to its extreme. The implications of the paragon and renegade point system were particularly terrifying! I'm sure that within this parallel world,a number of books I've downloaded would land me in hot water as an anti-socialist. This world is a horrifyingly plausible possibility for us all. Stockholm is well worth reading!

On to the frustrating- Anakin is a seemingly emotionless cipher. While much description is given to his self-conscious physical posturing and cataloging of micro-expressions, (which is brilliant, by the way, in illustrating how people basically always on camera would relate to one another) nothing is said of what Anakin feels. By the end of the book, I still had no idea whether he and Natasha loved each other or simply existed within the same space. Some emotion would be helpful to allow the reader to empathize with the main characters.

There are also many instances where location shifts without segue, which is jarring. An example that come to mind is that Anakin and Natasha are at a party, then suddenly in a car headed home with no indication of this transition. This happens frequently. For continuity in a non-visual format, these transitions need to be stated.

There is a revolution building throughout the story, but the main characters seem completely unaffected and uninterested, so the reader gets the barest hint of what is an exciting movement going on around them. I would have loved to see a secondary character involved in the revolution woven into the plot. It is a missed opportunity for us to learn more about this political underground.

Still, Stockholm is obviously written by a sharply intelligent mind. There are many wonderfully constructed scenes and some of the writing is just breathtaking. One of my favorite lines, which was an observation of little importance to the main character, but is a telling indication of the writer's wit was "She was slightly taller and wore her lack of confidence with a polyester cardigan." Fantastic.

Overall, yes it has its frustrating moments. Read it anyway; it's worth it.

5,0 su 5 stelle The Death of Privacy?
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 18 agosto 2011
Acquisto verificato
This is by far the best fiction book I have read in years!

Though fiction, the setting of this book is often such a close parallel to reality, or at the very least very close to what reality COULD be if things go wrong, that questions regarding personal privacy often dig at your mind after reading. Anakin Carver, the main character in the book has an often confounding personality and a tendency to toy with the people he interacts with in a way that is both subtle and fun.

Once you Give it a try and get started reading it you will find that it is very difficult to put down. Now, if you do manage to put it down you will find you are obsessively compelled to keep picking it back up! And the book certainly doesn't disappoint, as the best parts are saved for last as the final episodes unfold you definitely find yourself rooting for Anakin as he finds himself in a position of great power.

Thoughtfully written with a underlying intelligence that keeps the reader interested throughout.

Buy this book!!

I read the entire book and I just don't get it. What happened? Who won? What did they accomplish? Why would I care? Maybe I am just dense.
