I was initially concerned that, not knowing anything about Star Trek, much of the point of this book would be lost. That wasn’t the case.

Makers by Cory Doctorow really seems to cement the point that Doctorow just really hates the Disney corporation.

Kim Stanley Robinson’s Green Mars didn’t have the same pull as the previous title.

American Hippo imagines what could have been one of the biggest mistakes in American History.

I didn’t think the movie Annihilation was worth anyone’s time. I am not sure the book is either.

David Brin’s “Kiln People” is a novel I can only talk about by also talking about Richard K Morgan.

People seem to think that reading older text is somehow rewarding. I am not sure that is the case.

James S. A. Corey’s fourth book was almost decent. Emphasis on the ‘almost’.
