Review: Keep Moving by Raluca Balasa
Review of Keep Moving by Raluca Balasa (3834 words)
Luna Station Quarterly, Issue 039 :Read Online
A dystopian society where people are afraid to love, indeed, it isn't even allowed legally. Children grow up in institutions, away from their "lifegivers". They don't even know the names of their caretakers until they are old enough to be able to handle such informattion without forming an emotional bond.
Reminiscent of Brave New World, but somehow more horrifying, because reproduction still happens the traditional way. It is a world where love is not allowed, emotional bonds are to be avoided, feelings are to be eliminated and music leads to hurt and pain.
The foundation of the story, and the world building within, is well structured and the details flow together very well. It's certainly a sad word to live in, and that makes Sarrai's life demand even more sympathy, while also understanding how the people in that world may react.
