| - | * [[wp>Coalescent]] (Destiny's Children Book 1) by [[wp>Stephen Baxter]] - I'm reading this for my sci-fi bookgroup. The bookgroup topic is hive minds. I'm 90% through this 400 page book and there has been almost no sci-fi at all. Not happy. If I didn't like the author I'd have stopped by now. This better get good quick. I guess I'm gonna have to read the trilogy now to find out why I read this first book. | + | * [[wp>Gridlinked]] by [[wp>Neal Asher]] |
| + | * [[wp>Feersum Endjinn]] by [[wp>Iain M. Banks]] - I was just lamenting that I'd read all of Banks' work and realised this one had escaped my attention (probably because it wasn't a Culture story). Happy to have found it and made a start now at least. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Startide Rising]] by [[wp>David Brin]] - Audiobook in the background while I do some tasks. Some interesting ideas so far. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Rapture of the Nerds|Rapture of the Nerds: A tale of the singularity, posthumanity, and awkward social situations]] by [[wp>Cory Doctorow]] and [[wp>Charles Stross]] - I could almost have guessed the authors of this book just by reading the first couple of chapters. It's exactly what I expected/was hoping for. Not sure I'd be able to recommend it to any one but the hardcore fans of both though (it's not their most accessible work). Enjoying it so far. | ||
| + | * [[wp>Burning Chrome]] by [[wp>William Gibson]] - I was particularly interested in reading one of the short stories, Hinterlands, recommened on a reddit thread somewhere but I'd been planning on reading more of William Gibson so this seemed like a good place to start/continue. I'd read it before, but enjoying it. Looking for some inspiration around VR worlds/games. | ||
