Baby Igor, lol.

Unsurprisingly weird since Mieville. Switching from 3rd to 2nd person seems random...surely intentional but I have not figured out what the point of it is. If it's just to be weird I'm gonna be mad and dock it a star.

Decent backdrop but storylines are very weak. Hoping it gets better.

‘…the man-shaped tower of excrement that is yourself.’

Steamy the cauldron apparition, lol

There’s something beautiful about being lucky enough to witness a thing on its way out.

Flute air battle. Haven’t read that before.

Table saw

Worm farm

‘…thoughtfully probing the contents of a nostril…’

The people united can never be ignited!

‘…murmur very firmly…’

Love-in-a-canoe coffee.

Wait, Sword of Truth 5 years before Terry Goodkind? Goodkind was a rip off artist but did he really steal sword of truth from Pratchett?

A doctorate in invasive fuckery

Vinge references his own book, Fire Upon the Deep which also won a Hugo. That book is much better than this trash heap.

Increasingly unserious. Gibberish.

Pretty strange book. It’s currently 2/5 or so.

Very unfamiliar with the terrible dictatorship in the Dominican Republic. Learning a lot.

At least it was fresh horse meat

It’s a bit hard to follow cuz of the lingo but of course that is intentional per standard cyberpunk stylings thanks to William Gibson. It raises a good question; is there such a thing as easy to follow cyberpunk? I shall investigate.

Some highly questionable writing. Does not bode well.

‘A bad conscience is a springboard to philanthropy’

‘I’m going to pull out your thoughts like egg noodles’

Lol Starting the Ford back in that day.

Delicate Joe can’t go.

‘I eat stories like grapes’

Mentions San Jose, Grass Valley, University of California, and starting a bookstore.

Pretty good so far
