I’ve been reading science fiction since I knew how to read. I’ve immersed myself in utopias, dystopias, parallel universes, and alien mating rituals. I’ve stood on the shores of an inland sea on Mars, plunged into the swirling depths of gas giants, and hacked the operating system of reality. And after thirty years in this genre, I’ve come to one conclusion: I want to live in the Culture. Fuck the Foundation, fuck the Metaverse, fuck Mars, fuck the Federation, and certainly fuck the Sprawl. The […]
Doctor Who: Last of The Gaderene by Mark Gatiss
Last of The Gaderene was first published in 2000, five years before the modern era of Doctor Who and ten years before Mark Gatiss increased his workload to include Sherlock. What I’m saying is: Mark Gatiss is a better writer now, but Last of The Gaderene is still a decent Doctor Who story. Let’s get the bad bits out of the way first
The Unwritten, Volumes 4-7: Leviathan to The Wound
I read all four of the trade paperbacks in a row, and I hate to spoil them for anyone looking to read the series. However – I really liked them, as always. The stories are dense and complex, the art is consistently well done, and I can’t quite see how it will all end.
Alternate Victorian Steampunk
This is the fourth book in a series by Mark Hodder

by Gene Roddenberry My self-imposed challenge for Cannonball Read VI is to read all the Star Trek original novels from the first one ever published (in 1970) to the most current. Realizing this is likely to take years (and several Cannonball Reads!), I set up some parameters for myself: only original, full-length novels licensed and published by a professional publishing house. No short-story collections, no manuals, no novelizations. I only want to consider original works by professional writers. Which brings us to “Star Trek: The […]
The Circle, by David Eggers
When Mae arrives on her first day of work at The Circle, the world’s largest internet company, she is immediately engulfed and welcomed on campus, dazzled by the constant events and built-in social life. As the reader and a geek, I too was dazzled. All the perks of working for the mega-rich people-friendly companies were trotted out: the concerts and groups, encouraged individuality, free lunches and malleable schedules, all wrapped in a shiny high-tech bow. The gloss quickly loses it’s glamour when the social opportunities […]
