Keigo Higashino: "I wanted to destroy the novel I wrote before, so this work was born." Hydrogen sulfide poisoning incidents occurred in two hot springs one after another. Although after investigation by Professor Qinge, it was determined that it was "impossible to be man-made" and the case was closed accidentally. However, various doubts and the mysterious girl who appeared at the scene made it impossible for former policeman Takeo, geochemistry professor Qinge and Nakaoka, who was responsible for investigating the incident, to let go... "What is the future of this world?" The girl sighed deeply, shook her head and said, "I tell you, I am happier not knowing."
Reader comments
It can only be said that it is indeed the work of Keigo Higashino. The content is quite substantial and the twists are very touching, giving people an unexpected and reasonable feeling. If you want to see more thoroughly, it is recommended to read twice and pay attention to the foreshadowing and reference. It is obvious that the author has put much thought into arranging these.
The theme is also touching, "Human beings are atoms. Even if each individual is ordinary and lives in the world unconsciously, once it becomes a collection, the laws of physics will be realized dramatically. There is no individual in this world that does not have the meaning of existence, no one!" "History is not composed of a small part. "It is driven by geniuses or lunatics like you. It seems very ordinary at first glance, and it seems that talent without any value is an important component." I feel that this theme is somewhat similar to some historical materialist views such as "the masses of the people are the creators of history." I feel that it is a successful case of revitalizing the old and renovating it.
However, because its foreshadowing and reference are relatively complete, it should also require readers to have a certain amount of patience and carefully read the author's meaning. At the same time, there are some shortcomings in the creation of some characters. Personally, I feel that it is because there are too many characters and the theory involved is relatively complicated.
I have read many suspense novels, and this hydrogen sulfide poisoning case is more attractive. It seems that the scope of the murderer is very narrow, but there is still no evidence pointing to the murderer. Come with the author, and the truth will slowly emerge. Each chapter has different characters and different scenes, and there are more or less connections between the characters...
Human body modification discovers the physical laws of the world. The girl participates because of predicting the tornado. Then she knows the boy's determination for revenge but wants to prevent the boy's death. Due to mental paranoia and lack of paternal love genes, he murders the imperfect family just to create a perfect movie. The child lurks out of hatred just for revenge (what I don't understand is suicide. Maybe because the perfect movie cannot be released. Maybe he feels that he can't deal with his own son??) He is paranoid but not paranoid enough (the target of revenge has died. What should the boy's future life be like? Is he hiding in the crowd or returning to the experiment? He obviously inherited his father's genetic defect. Will he be the next successful celebrity or the next successful sinner? But it can be seen that his character should be pretty good, but he is using it to demagogue people.) Maybe I don't know enough about what happened in the few years when this father disappeared. Was he running for the perfect movie or something like that?
He is a person who pursues perfection and cannot leave behind the crime of murdering his family. Suicide may be the best choice for him.
I read the book reviews first, so I followed the advice of netizens and read "Laplace's Witch" before reading "Laplace's Witch". It is really a wonderful work. Sure enough, Keigo Higashino's books have never disappointed. Although Laplace's Witch's predictions about the future are not optimistic, I will still look forward to the unknown future. Finally, like my book review of "Magic's Move", I still like Hazono Enka the best.
This suspense novel by Higashino Keigo contains high-tech crime plots, and the human brain has infinitely advanced prediction capabilities. Amakasu Saisei, a self-proclaimed genius director who poisoned his wife and children in despicable ways on the grounds of pursuing a perfect family, is a bad guy. Kento, who was lucky enough to survive, used his powers of prediction to launch a series of unimaginable revenges that left no trace. The most exciting passage in it: Human beings are atoms. Even if each individual is very ordinary and lives unconsciously in the world, once it becomes an aggregate, the laws of physics will be realized dramatically. There is no individual in this world that does not have the meaning of existence, no one.
Just like "Foreseeing the Future", the future is uncertain, and only what is uncertain is called the future; once you see it, it will change.
Everyone is ordinary, but it is this group of ordinary people who make the world go round [Thinking]
A very interesting book, it feels a bit like "Transformation"
I read this book after reading "Magic Fetal Movement". At that time, I was very confused about how the heroine could predict some things that were about to happen and how she had this ability. After reading this book, I understood the truth and the reason why the heroine gave me a melancholy feeling - the completely foreseeable future is unhappy, and the helplessness and pain of people who know everything but are unable to change it.
I still have no clue after reading the first half of the book, but Keigo Higashino's books are like this. The first few chapters seem to be unrelated, but there are always characters and events that closely connect them.
After reading it, I discovered that my father Amakasu Tsai's blog was like the diary of "Malevolence", disguising himself as a perfect victim to mislead readers.
I thought Kento Amakasu would be with Enka Habara, but I didn't expect Kento Amakasu to be missing. The open ending was pretty good too.
I really like the books written by Keigo Higashino and bought a lot of physical books. Like it👍
This is a suspense novel with a strong science fiction flavor. It reflects people's yearning for the cognitive utilization of chaos phenomena, reveals the deep-seated conflict between human ethics and the pursuit of science and art, and emphasizes the extraordinary significance of ordinary individuals in chaos.
The story is wonderful and the structure is exquisite. Keigo Higashino's storytelling ability is really great👍In short, "Laplace's Witch" is an excellent work of popular literature and worth reading!
A lot of unnecessary words and people for expansion and reversal.
If any human emotional behavior can be explained scientifically, I think this is impossible, so I don't agree with some people killing their wives and children just because they lack a certain "program", but I admit that some people are indeed born bad. I believe that the human brain can predict some behaviors after training, but as exaggerated as in the novel, there may still be a long way to go.
When you find that the other person is using superpowers to commit a crime, you hope that someone with the same ability will step forward to stop it. But the reality is that someone did come forward, but she came to save the criminal. So what is good or bad? History is always written by the victors. It is important to take sides.
"What drives this world is not a small number of geniuses, or lunatics like you. Those who are ordinary at first glance and seem to have no value are the important components. Human beings are atoms. Even if each individual is ordinary and lives unconsciously in the world, once it becomes a collection, the laws of physics will be realized dramatically. There is no individual in this world that does not have the meaning of existence, no one!"
The writing style of this book is very unique, and the plot is full of suspense, making it easy to read in one sitting. Keigo Higashino's writing style is concise and powerful, easily drawing readers into the story. I especially like the appearance of the mysterious girl. Her words make people think about the future. This is a good book worth reading and recommended to friends who like suspense novels.
Still pretty good-looking [note]
Typical Keigo Higashino, one section in the east, one section in the west, and then strung together.
Not bad, a follow-up to The Fetal Movement of Magic.
This is my first time reading a book by Keigo Higashino. It feels good to get started [crying]
You can read it instead of a mystery novel
It's good to read. I like all Keigo Higashino's books.
It was well written and echoed the previous chapters. I was also shocked when the ending was revealed. However, I only listened to the books, so I may not have noticed some details. Also, I'm not very interested in superpowers, so I didn't listen carefully later.
I like this novel very much. It makes people want to explore human nature and learn physics.
4.5 Very good. As a short story, it is quite innovative and fits Keigo Higashino's style very well. The first few chapters are narrated separately and then they are all connected together.
The author uses the perspectives of multiple people to reveal the truth of the case from many aspects, with a rigorous structure and an endless charm at the end.
Very interesting, interlocking
Hurry, hurry, hahaha
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead.
The title of the book is a bit strange, but I didn't expect it to contain magic. It's very interesting. [Laughing]
How boring it would be to know everything. I still don't know but feel curious
