And several of Greg Egan’s books are just this, explicitly so.

Bullshit.

This, a thousand times . .

I haven’t read this or the martian but I did read his “top 5 favorite sci-fi books” list and I was really bugged by it. It was so pat and trite: Asimov’s robot stories, a Heinlein book, rendezvous with rama by Arthur Clark, player of games by iain m banks, a discworld novel and, get ready for it, ready player one.…

Spoiler alert: Poul Anderson ain’t “presenting” nothing. He’s been dead and buried since 2001.

All of the taste, none of the calories.

This just in: the Voynich manuscript has finally been decoded.

Did you say “golden age” of sci-fi? This guy’s stuff is nice, but saying it’s reminiscent of “golden age scifi” is kind of like saying batman ‘66 is reminiscent of golden age superhero comix. Not even close.

I once missed my train, and because of that I got into work late. Also, once, there was this lady transit worker who was emptying the trash there, (she wasn’t white), and when I told her to smile the woman glared at me. Like these people are sympathetic? HA! NOPE.

Wow. That looks . . . deep. And freakin’ Ed Harris to boot! I can’t wait to see it.

You would have thought there’d have been money in letting android users buy music from iTunes too. I wonder how much money apple lost out on thanks to Steve Job’s myopia. I bought tons of music and videos the first few years on my iPad but always used android phones. When Google started selling music and shows I…

The GIANT volume icon that pops up when you lower or raise the sound. Watching a video and having the screen completely obscured for 3 seconds or whatever when you adjust the volume is really not too swell.

I used nova on my nexus (rip) to get rid of the ever present Google search bar.. Don’t know about marshmallow but when I first got my beloved, late nexus that search bar was the one thing I was unable to completely remove from the screen.

Wait, you can have “secret” albums in Google photos? How? I’ve looked long to find such a thing to stash my, um . . . downloads in but have never found it. What am I missing?

Fun fact: when former first lady Laura Bush was a teenager out in the Badlands of Texas she ran a stop sign late one night and broadsided a car which just happened to be driven by her then-boyfriend, killing him on the spot. Accident or “Accident”?

Thanks for the correction! Have you read his book “The Big Bang Never Happened”? Its buried in my stack somewhere waiting to be read

Really weird, I didn’t see the original wording, but it sounds like basically a direct cut and paste from the amazon page discription of the book. Quote: “With Redder than Blood, Lee resumes the tradition of twisting tales.” And further: “About the Author
