A good flip through but not a reliable history.

Looked past the bizarre forward about breasts (I’m pro but that was an odd ode) and read the first story with some interest. Reminded me of a west world episode arch. Could not get into the rest but that seems to be my trend with recently published scifi.

I really hope he’s done saying “individual sex love”…

Back with ole Stanislaw :,)

My friend has given me the strength to say: it ends here.

Finally reading recently written science fiction!

Mostly irrelevant to my reading and feelings of the book but I will admit that I thought the whole time that Clyde relayed this account (note the memoir is “as told to”) to John Lurie, the actor artist tv personality guy. And was very curious about how that whole relationship happened. It is in fact told to Jon Lurie who is a journalist on the Native issues beat.

Now on to some contemporary Danish sci-fi!

At this point, I resent the author's editor more than the author.

Sort of mind boggling how grief brings you closer to total strangers in a similarity of loss even as that lack stretches across very different contours. One minute I appreciate the texture of a certain moment, how familiar it feels, the next I am shocked I've felt it in a setting where people have the personal phone number of the NYT obituary writer.

Stop trying to make the Ministry For the Future a thing!!

Just arrived to the titular story! I’m also writing spec fic rn in part about lunar laborers. Enjoying the overlaps and divergences of our world building.

“...They have discovered new feelings and have begun to be agents of change rather than objects of social processes.”

I keep thinking I’m stumbling around the edge of a parade of acronyms but then I look up and realized I’ve also been totally absorbed in the story of worker experimentation.

I've described this book as both engrossing and mind-numbing....maybe that's sociology for you (also describes a lot of socialist org meetings now that I think of it). Still working my way through the massive middle chapter on Communal Councils and still recommending this book to almost everyone I talk to.
