Science-Fiction – Page 8 – Failures in Polymathy

Annihilation – Jeff VanderMeer

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.

What’s wrong with me that I keep trying to enjoy other people’s nostalgia…?

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’.

How we come to categorize books like this is sometimes more interesting than the books themselves.

Even if one doesn’t particularly like short stories, one cannot help but admit that Harlan was a master of the craft.

Richard K Morgan writes science-fiction so bad that it makes me dislike myself for liking science-fiction.

The controversy around Robert A. Heinlein’s ‘Starship Troopers’ is about as interesting as the book itself.

This is one of the most rich and complex book I have read in some time.
