The good news: I seem to be in the minority and if you are intrigued by VOX, I would not dissuade you from going for it.
On the day the government decrees that women are no longer allowed to speak more than 100 words daily, Dr. Her son, Steven, sees an activist on television protesting the demise of freedom and suggests “She needs to pop a chill pill. Christina Dalcher’s Vox is an envisioning of what would transpire if right-wing radicals and fundamentalists were allowed to take over America.meets The Handmaid's Tale in this debut novel where the American government has silenced half the population – women. It morphed from belt to corset, covering all but the country’s limbs—the democratic utopias of California, New England, the Pacific Northwest, DC, the southern jurisdictions of Texas and Florida—places so far on the blue end of the spectrum they seemed untouchable.
However, users must be online at all times when using a browser, and the manipulation of the image isn’t quite as intuitive, since it involves using the mouse buttons and the scroll wheel.
After spending several years abroad, most recently in Sri Lanka, Dalcher and her husband now split their time between the American South and Andalucia, Spain. It seems the norm, sadly, for those in power to want to silence those who object, whatever their gender.
Throughout the entire book we just get one side of the coin and I still ask myself the question: Why did they even decide that the words of women should be counted? The statistic in the blurb claims that the is that the average person currently speaks 16,000 words a day. Corrupt politicians, radical ideals, oppression, crazy religious zealots, diseases, zombies – all are interesting to think about.I really didn’t like Steven and even though he was just a kid I still think that he did a lot of horrible and bad things. i’m not sure what rules apply to deaf women, but i know that hearing women are not allowed to use any sign language to supplement their daily word-allotment.
She feels her own failure to recognise the warning signs of totalitarianism has contributed to society’s ills. i mean, the ideas were there (and they were fantastic ideas) but the execution left much to be desired.I went into this knowing full well that the injustice that happens in this book would make me more than just a little angry, but in fact Christina Dalcher’s book made me so furious that I decided to steer clear of the dystopian science fiction genre for a while. Though they aren’t very long, usually about ten minutes or so per book, they are entertaining enough to keep little ones busy while offering all the benefits of reading.
