Sounds like C.S.Lewis' "Perelandra" which is the second book in his "Space Trilogy".  I read that many, many years ago ...  here's a quote from Wikipedia,  see if this is the one ...\n\n"Ransom arrives in Venus and finds it to be an oceanic paradise. One day is about 23 Earth hours, in contrast to Earth and Mars with their 24 and (roughly) 25 hour days. The sky is golden and very bright but opaque - the sun cannot be seen, hence the night is pitch black with no stars visible. Strange, mythical creatures roam the planetary sweet-water ocean, which is dotted with floating rafts of vegetation. These rafts look like small islands, and actually have plant life growing on them and animals living on them; however, due to the ocean underneath, they are in a constant state of motion like in an earthquake.

Sounds like it is from "War of the Worlds". Maybe the following:\n\n"Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us."

The Big Orange Splot by Daniel Manus Pinkwater\nThe Paperbag Princess by Robert Munsch\nThe Jacket I Wear in the Snow by Shirley Neitzel\nAraboolies of Liberty Street by Sam Swope\nSam, Bangs & Moonshine by Evaline Ness\nIan's Walk: A Story About Autism by Laura Lears\n\nI'd do any books that aren't by Dr. Suess or isn't 'Where the Wild Things Are' bcause they are soooooo popular

With massive data bases of information piling up in government and corporate computers as well as security cameras around every corner and on every cell phone, I often get the feeling Big Brother is watching.  However, I feel Huxley's "A Brave New World" is better example of the direction we have been moving as a society.  Everywhere people are seeking their own "Soma" to cover up our social flaws.  We are also pushing closer and closer to his predictions of class and family structures .

If there was life on mars, it might make a lot of our written books have to be changed. Seems like everything is written with the impression that earth, as we know it, is the only livable place. Like they say ."Time will tell". But don't be surprised if those in charge either never tell the public or at least wait many many years before it is told.

Escapist literature\n\ndeals with fantasy. There is nothing like happily-ever-after in real world :)

It's by Stephen Crane.  Here's the SparkNote link, too, since you don't have your book: http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/redbadge/ Good luck!

Sounds like a science fiction book tale.  Science fiction has rarely been accurate in their projections into the future.

poor fella! nobody's answered. there is a story, a complicated one for that matter. it ties into the bag-on-line adventures, a couple comic books written by singer claudio sanchez that are quite sci-fi in nature. umm... hit up the coheedandcambria.com links and see if you get some more in depth info. hope that helps and be prepared to be mindboggled :P

Have you read "Prey" by Michael Creighton? I read this several years back before the world had heard of nanotechnology. It was enough for me to decide that it scares the beejeezus out of me. Granted.......it was a book. But the thought that these atoms could almost take on a life of their own is a bit disconcerting.

A children’s book that confronts the subject of human mortality.

I recommend reading "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"...a classic book about a girl being in New York in the 1920's in between wars. It's really very excellent.
