Mɪᴄᴋᴇʏ7 | ★★★★☆
Cheguei ao término da minha décima leitura de 2024, e profundamente satisfeito com o ritmo que tenho estabelecido no meu “mundo” literário. O que tenho nesta postagem é referente ao livro Mickey7 de Edward Ashton, uma publicação de 2023 da editora Planeta Minotauro (Planeta Brasil). Esta obra literária foi traduzida competentemente por Aline Storto Pereira, acho digno trazer referências profissionais nas considerações. Já que percebo uma atenção maior aos objetos e seus criadores, deixando um pouco na penumbra os colaboradores nacionais, em geral, todos que foram eficientes nas adequações necessárias deste material aos leitores brasileiros. 
Acredito que poucos conhecem o autor, e em algum momento tiveram contato, mesmo através da mínima menção no meio literário, minha aproximação não deve ter sido diferente dos demais amigos da comunidade. Obviamente o trabalho de publicidade editorial foi importante, ainda mais se tratando da linda arte gráfica que compõe o livro, mas realmente o marketing do lançamento da adaptação na sétima arte foi o diferencial. O novíssimo filme de Bong Joon-ho, para quem não está ciente, foi o mesmo diretor de “Parasita”, vencedor do Oscar de 2020. E não posso deixar de citar o Robert Pattinson como o protagonista.
Posso dizer que cada leitor obtém um entendimento diferenciado em algum aspecto na obra literária, e no meu caso, contém um forte apelo na questão existencial, nas características do personagem principal como “prescindível”, em suas formas replicantes e certificado de imortalidade mediante upload de memórias, fundamentais no funcionamento da colônia. O autor entrega em sua escrita uma conscientização através do gênero Sci-Fi, mesmo sutilmente, podendo passar despercebido aos leitores, ofertando uma carga dramática mediante os motivos pelos quais as expedições colonizadoras foram necessárias em diversos planetas. 
Existe uma vertente importante na obra, relacionado aos caminhos desastrosos da humanidade, toda questão do impacto ambiental, o uso indiscriminado de combustíveis fósseis e consequências reais de liberação de dióxido de carbono, com superaquecimento do planeta e escassez de produção de alimento. É um retrato fiel aos fins dos tempos, de vida humana dignamente habitável no planeta azul. Mesmo sendo uma ficção científica, fica nas entrelinhas uma crítica aos eventos desastrosos que o mundo está presenciando. Recomendo o livro e aguardo ansiosamente pela próxima publicação da Planeta Minotauro, estou animado com a possibilidade de leitura de “Antimatter Blues”.

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!!
When I picked this up, I didn't realize it was a sequel, but I still wound up enjoying this.
Antimatter Blues is a fun experience and definitely gave me the escape from reality that I need while reading. Mickey is an expendable, and has trauma over his history of deaths he experienced during the time he was active. It's been 2 years since his retirement, but just as he's getting comfortable, he is pulled into conflict once again.
Mickey and a group set out on a mission with one of the planet's own lifeforms, a creeper. He needs to get a bomb back from another nest of lifeforms that he has never communicated with, and the adventure is action-packed.
This story was funny at times and frustrating at others. I didn't completely love all the characters, but I was still able to enjoy this read.
Out March 14, 2023!

So like...is Mark Ruffalo playing Berto? He'll do a good job, I'm sure....but he's the only one I'm not jelling with and I think it's because I was so in tune with like Domhall Gleeson or something since he was described as a pasty athletic red-head. Lord, I pray they don't dye Mark's hair lol. Or I could be very wrong and he's playing Marshall.
I wonder who Toni Colette is playing? The woman who tutored Mickey in the ways if being an Expendable? I can certainly see that...but I could also see her NAILING a genderbent Marshall.
Rob and Naomi though??? 100% perfect casting

Edward Ashton: Mickey7 - mindenkinek, aki szereti a szarkasztikus humort
Ritkán olvasok sci-fit mert vegyesek a tapasztalataim ezzel a műfajjal. Legutóbb sajnos két nagyon rosszba is belenyúltam, ezért igencsak vaciláltam, hogy elolvassam-e Edward Ashton regényét. De végül annyira berántott a fülszöveg, hogy megkockáztattam, és igen. Megérte. Méltán kerül fel a polcomra, és már nagyon várom, hogy hozzák a folytatását magyarul is! Másfél nap alatt daráltam le,…

Antimatter Blues, par Edward Ashton (St. Martin Press, mars 2023)
Tumblr media
La suite de « Mickey 7 », où le héros se mêle des conflits opposants les populations autochtones de la planète afin de sauver la petite colonie humaine.
Aventures et survie en milieu hostile. Pas désagréable, mais pas génial non plus.

Have you heard that ‘Mikey 7’ is getting a film adaptation starring Robert Paterson yet? I’ve had this book on my wishlist for ages – better hop to it and get it read before the movie comes out.

Antimatter Blues by Edward Ashton
Here's a moral quandary for you: Which takes precedence—a promise to a living enemy, or a promise to a dead friend?
Despite too many similarities to Andy Weir's work that are even more blatant and worrying than those in  Mickey7 , I still had fun with this one. I like Mickey Barnes and the cast of supporting characters, and the plot sends them on a dangerous trek across alien territory that provides interesting world building and exciting action. The overall story and philosophical side may not be quite as interesting as those in Ashton's last book, but what we're given here is still a thoroughly enjoyable sci-fi action book with an ending that may even be better than its predecessor, delivering an explosive climax that brings the plot to a satisfying end.
7.5/10

First Teaser for Bong Joon Ho’s Next Film ‘Mickey 17’
First Teaser for Bong Joon Ho’s Next Film ‘Mickey 17’ #Mickey17 @wbpictures
The name Bong Joon Ho is one that instills excitement into every cinephile out there. Right up there with Spielberg, Tarantino, del Toro, and Nolan, any time a Bong project is announced, the film world stops, and speculates about what the master has up his sleeve. (more…)

I cannot believe I finally have an OT3 and two of them are just a man and his clone, both to be played by Robert Pattinson. The other is their amazing girlfriend to played by a beautiful and viciously awesome Naomi Ackie.
I never thought I'd see this day. Ever.
Like, they both love Nasha so much. And she loves her Mickeys' so much!!!
