    Degenerating society
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2020*

Walter Tevis' Mockingbird is a tale of humanity on its last legs as truly a whimper rather than a bang. The tale is related from three points of view. In the future, humanity just seems to be running out of steam, having turned over much of society's operations and decision making to robots who are nevertheless quite limited and frankly 'robotic.' In addition, for unknown reasons society has evolved to a hollow shell where social distancing is not so much enforced as taught from birth. In addition, leisure drugs are freely available. Even capabilities such as reading have been lost and the robots are slowly either wearing out or malfunctioning. Three main characters offer perspectives, including a robot who is the last semi-intelligent robot left and merely wants to 'die.' The two humans include a young man who has taught himself to read from children's stories and a young girl who was partly raised by one of the last truly unencumbered human left on the planet.The robot uses both humans for its own plans, while they gradually evolve to self-awareness by deferring all drugs which unbeknownst to anyone contain birth control. The young man ends up in prison from which he escapes and makes his way across a post-apocalyptic landscape learning to fend for himself and meeting isolated band of religious fundamentalists. The girl meanwhile is pregnant and eventually delivers the first newborn in several decades. In the end they 'kill' or rather euthanize the robot and head out to repopulate the world.While drug use is a common theme throughout, the major theme is one of such over reliance on technology that  knowledge of the technology itself is lost and eventually the whole basis for any sense of collective societal continuity. The story amply displays that once the ability to ask how and why are lost, all meaning for living is gone.

    Fascinating
  

*by M***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2020*

A long, long, time ago I read a statement "If you really want to learn something read a book you don't think you are going to like." I found that statement fascinating and I've tried to practice it from time to time.  Reading Mockingbird was such an activity.  I'm not a fan of dystopia books but this one got my attention start to finish. It will get you thinking about what makes human life meaningful and what degrades it.  Great book for a book club looking to mix it up but also enjoyable for an individual reader.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Prescient
  

*by J***K on Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2021*

What is it about being human? Pair this book with Homo Deus and you may find yourself rethinking the arc of human progress. If we are indeed a virus attacking the earth, then this compelling yet disturbing tale will give readers a glimpse of how we may play it out. Could not put it down.
