I mostly read Scifi, Comics, and playscripts. I also consume vast quantities of other media but I probably won't be posting about that here.

Library hold finally came in, and now my friends are telling me I need to listen to the audio version instead.
Anathem, the latest invention by the New York Times bestselling author of Cryptonomicon and The …
I first read Anathem in college. I started it again in grad school but it was too close to home. Now, 15 years in again I can say I enjoyed it as much as the first time. A fun world to spend time in.
Am I making it worse? I think I'm making it worse.

I listened to the audio book while playing powerwash simulator. Not a bad listen.
Library hold came in, let’s see which Reacher we get this time.

I really struggled to get through this one. Maybe that’s on me, but there were so many twists that felt unnecessary and I couldn’t keep up with who was who.

I’ve started this like seven times, now I’m finally getting into it.

I hadn’t realized this was out until my library app recommended it.
The author’s note at the end mentions she structured the novel around a calendar, which wasn’t obvious while reading, but I get it afterwards. It outside of that, there’s a lot less plot structure.

The solution to the mystery was a little contrived, but I had fun.

I’ve yet to read a Claire North book I haven’t loved, and this one was $3 at the used book store.

The way to burst a bubble is with pointed laughter.
Also this book does a very good job of explaining the breadth of “AI” hype, including examining all of the different ways it is actively making the world worse, oth big and small.

Chapter two and we’re already talking about how “AI” is supported by and reinforces a eugenics based view of the world. Hell yeah.

Enjoyed this quite a lot, I think I got to some of the same conclusions before the protagonist did, but I had the benefit of knowing he was a protagonist in a book.
