My Rating ~ 3 bites and a nibble
A crew of four
astronauts are sent to Mars to retrieve something that has shown up in photos, something
they are calling the Hexbox because of its shape. Their mission is a success
and they head back to Earth while trying to open and then decode the messages
inside. Once they do, what they find surprises and alarms them.
Really, this Hexbox
should have been called Pandora’s Box because woo doggie, what it contains
inside is quite the problem. The astronauts decode the messages and find out
that a planet called Plixon built a computer, the Godmachine, to run
everything. I mean, everything. Yes,
humans, too. The story follows the astronauts and Earth while also telling the
story of Ra’dall back on Plixon and his dystopian world. The writing tends to
be hit or miss, and the plot is a bit simplistic at times, but it’s a scary
story that should serve as a warning to anyone wanting this type of life. The
ending could have been lifted straight out of our current government situation
which is alarming.
