Cloud Atlas [View all]

I'm just finishing the book, and can't wait for the movie. The previews and stills have been breath-taking. I'm pretty sure this qualifies as SF, since much of the book takes place in the not-so-distant, and also in the far future.

I can also make a pretty good guess as to the author's political allegiance, and it's a safe bet he's not a Republican!
