Matthew Gilmore and 2 other people liked Denis's review of Computerworld (Daw UE1879): "This is A.E. van Vogt near the end of his oeuvre. It's a story set in the near future when a central computer, essentially, governs all of America. Not too bad a speculation, but quite off the mark as far as how such a phenomenon actually came about." Read more of this review »

Matthew Gilmore and 5 other people liked Seth's review of The Eight Reindeer of the Apocalypse (J. W. Wells & Co. #8): "Tom Holt's latest, "The Eight Reindeer of the Apocalypse," delivers exactly what it promises and what longtime readers will expect. It's a funny, slightly absurdist fantasy novel that builds on the world from "The Portable Door" (which, itself, riffe" Read more of this review »

Matthew’s Quotes

“But to guide nations in the way of Truth
By saving Doctrine, and from error lead
To know, and knowing worship God aright,
Is yet more knightly, this attracts the Soul,
Governs the inner man, the nobler part,
That other o'er the body only reigns,
And oft by force, which to a generous mind
so reigning can be no sincere delight.”
― John Milton, Paradise Regained
