looking to expand my horizons. My last 2 books: the power of introverts and the subtle art of not giving a f*ck.

The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer
Bhagvad Geeta
Solaris by Stanislaw Lem. Truly magnificent, just like the movie by Tarkovsky.
In parallel to that I went also down the rabbit hole about what cybernetics was and what happened to it.
I just got through ask for Andrea and it was decent af.
I’m reading The Light of all that falls by James Islington (3rd book in The Licanius trilogy)
Licanius was so good, I like Hierarchy but so far it hasn’t captivated me like that first trilogy did
I recently started The Forever War by Joe Haldeman
Finished Dungeon Crawler Carl book 8. Reading Witcher: Crossroads of Ravens
Just hopped on the dcc train! Definitely recommend. It will never go down in history as a sublime piece of literature, but it sure is good. I would also recommend giving the audio book a try, the narration is hilarious.
I’ll do you one better. The narrator, Jeff Hayes, he founded Soundbooth Theater. DCC in an immersion tunnel, with full cast and sound effects.
Apathy And Other Small Victories.
Malazan
Been absolutely crawling through Black Reconstruction, but it’s extremely well written and informative.
The Philosophy of Pinball by Godwin
ES6 by Dr. Axel
Poject Hail Mary, The Martian
Both by Andy Weir.Also M.O.N.A. and S.I.N.O.N. by Dan T. Sehlberg
The books by Andy Weir are hard sci-fi books. Very grounded in physical/realistic expectations but with a sprinkle of “the future”.
The books by Dan Sehlberg are IT thriller-like novels.
Basically something like current ‘Neuralink’.
The first books plot is about a scientist developing a brain-computer interface enabling the user to visit cyberspace in a sort of advanced VR like world but full on inside instead of just goggles you put on.
His wife trials it, visits her job sites web page during a cyber attack on the jobs IT-infrastructure, get’s in contact with the malware there and brings the digital virus inside her to the real world.
Now the digital malware/virus has become a biological one. The scientist now wants to find the cure for the illness.I’m reading Hatemonger, the book on Stephen Miller. And just re-started Pandora’s Star by Peter Hamilton.
I just got a kobo for Christmas so I’ve been catching up on a ton of Stephen King I hadn’t made time for, re-reading some Michael Crichton. Trying out some of Clive Barker’s horror stuff (never read it before).
Just read Back To The Island, a companion/episode guide to Lost. Which has made me want to watch the show again.
