In Sekhmet's Playlist (And a glimpse of the future!)

Hello! So, I'm the kind of author who has playlists for my work. As I've been working on the Sekhmet series for about a decade now, I have a considerable selection of tracks that've helped me find the right mental state. Here is a particular selection for the first two books -- and a little selection of context-less tracks to give an idea of where the third will be going.

First, the overarching the Read more of this blog post »

J.D. Rhodes and 4 other people liked Leilin's status update
Leilin
Leilin is on page 266 of 342 of World War Z: Ok, had to return this to the library and was really close to call it done: it's not terrible, but it's dated and eye-roll worthy in many places, and I think I felt I had seen enough to feel done with it... On the other hand, I'm so close to the end that I might as well just finish it, so here we go again!

Leilin
Leilin is on page 266 of 342 of World War Z: This is rapidly devolving into some sort of aged and privileged brand of optimism that reeks a bit of some rich westerner comfily looking at a world map and their nice collection of geopolitical essays, in their living room, and feeling very certain that they know how everything could be so much better for the world, you see, if only they could explain it to everyone and save them all.
World War Z by Max Brooks
" I think half of WWZ is pretty good, but somewhere around that chapter where the hikikomori teams up with the blind samurai it all gets a bit silly. "
Red Rising by Pierce Brown
" I think my review sums it up well, imo. RR was recommended to me when I was much less of a discerning reader, but even then I bounced off it fast. "
Brainpunch by Aaron Shih
"Wildbow deserves all the misery in the world for creating this sub genre"
Red Rising by Pierce Brown

“I will write your name in the ruin of them. I will paint you across history in the color of their blood.”
― Seth Dickinson, The Monster Baru Cormorant

“I really wanted to talk to her.
I just couldn't find an algorithm that fit.”
― Peter Watts, Blindsight

“There's no such things as survival of the fittest. Survival of the most adequate, maybe. It doesn't matter whether a solution's optimal. All that matters is whether it beats the alternative.”
― Peter Watts, Blindsight

“Maybe your empathy's just a comforting lie, you ever think of that? Maybe you think you know how the other person feels but you're only feeling yourself, maybe you're even worse than me. Or maybe we're all just guessing.”

I'm not going to lie, I laughed when I saw the bar graph breakdown.
