The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer

Bhagvad Geeta

I just got through ask for Andrea and it was decent af.

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’m reading The Light of all that falls by James Islington (3rd book in The Licanius trilogy)

I recently started The Forever War by Joe Haldeman

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

I’m reading Hatemonger, the book on Stephen Miller. And just re-started Pandora’s Star by Peter Hamilton.

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 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.

The Origins of Virtue

by Matt Ridley
