When you begin reading a fantasy/scifi that was recommended for immersive world building, what do you expect? Anything you want to be fleshed out?
a good story
Sorry I'm a natural prick.
If you like Phillip K. Dick, you might want to check out James H. Schmitz.Mmm, I modeled some of my writing style off of Phillip K. Dick. Realism mixed with moments of surrealism and a hint of comedy. Most people say my first chapter really hit their pulse, but, I do almost no exposition at all. Better to let things unfold naturally.
That has a rhythmic quality to it.If you like Phillip K. Dick, you might want to check out James H. Schmitz.
He really only did short stories. I recommend 'The Demon Breed' as a good example. He does a good job of high level world building- just broad strokes, but in the course of the story you get a glimpse of the recent human history, how the government works, a bit of behind the scenes in how the government operates, and finally, how a group of neutral-hostile aliens views humanity.That has a rhythmic quality to it.
