"Because she taught me everything about matching devastation with economy. The entire future of Caribbean prose is mapped out in this collection of stories, and I don’t know a single Caribbean writer who doesn’t reread it often."

I have heard negative reviews of this game, but I have no idea why and after playing it, I thoroughly enjoy it.

A cool and different action film, many may have missed. Set in the future after the rise of Dragons across the world. It has an impressive final battle set in the heart of a scorched London!

"On a distant planet, far in the future, Earth Colonists rule the world as the gods of the Hindu Pantheon. One of their number becomes Buddha to fight them. A mixture of religion and adventure and science fiction."

"Whether you think Chief Keef is the future of rap or you think his lyrics are too violent, either way he was certainly born in the Nineties. As soon as you hear his delivery, you never forget it."

I feel like I did more skimming in this book than the others, which isn't a good sign - however, I'm still fully invested in these characters and the future of Faery, so I plan on continuing the series!

Good overview of the major talking points of AI
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI or AI) is a very important topics for us all to understand, as it will dictate the future of our world. To get this education right is difficult, as it spans the simple everyday and the complex future all in one.

This book does a great job of explaining AI to all levels of audience including a layman, and will inform you so that you can become central to, or part of, this important debate, and not just a bystander.

This novel takes place in the near future, where a disease called Hayden's Syndrome has infected some of the population, leaving them bed-bound with a functioning brain. The main character is Chris, who has Haden's and is a new FBI agent, using an android, nicknamed a 'threep'.
This is definitely a police-procedural novel with a future twist. I liked the mix a lot. Scalzi's characterizations are always good, and this was no exception. I devoured the book in two days and promptly moved onto the sequel.

Just checking in to see how everyone is getting on with this whole coronavirus mess? How're things in your local area?

Cinemas closed here as of tomorrow, theatres shut yesterday (was meant to be seeing Back to the Future musical tonight & I'm devastated I'm missing out! 😩 ) and I'm working from home for the foreseeable future. The only plus side to all this means I might be able to catch up on all the books, films and tv shows on Netflix & Amazon, and not to mention the DIY & gardening...

In NY, schools are all closed, most restaurants only do drive thru. Everyone has gone crazy. The only places open are grocery stores and most are out of toilet paper and cleaning supplies.
