Ria is 2% done with The Cybernetic Samurai

Man I should have realized that the French name meant this book would stink of old weeb. I love AI's though so I'll see it through.
The setting is all kinds of time wrong considering that this is still supposed to take place in the 80's. I just want to know why Seattle is a communist hellhole apparently.
And the MC is a fat old computer scientist lesbian with MS caused by a should have been fatal dose of radiation...

It's funny how the whole thing hinges on outdated science.
Jupiter is a gas planet, it has no ground or lifeforms, and the thing about humans only using 10% of their brain is pure myth.

I wasn't expecting this to be a cyberpunk from the side of someone cool with the companies taking over everything. Interesting

We See Things Differently- This guy really is focused on the middle east, interesting that all these were written before 9-11 and ISIS.
Hollywood Kremlin- Actually sort of interesting, I'd read a full novel with that guy as a protagonist.
Are You For 86?- I wonder if he wrote any other stories about Leggy, but damn those hippy girls were bitches at the end.

God this is boring stream of consciousness, but I can't just stop now.
They are making a movie out of it.

The Moral Bullet- Interesting idea of anti aging medicine causing a breakdown of society, but why does it just end like that midscene...
The Unthinkable- Supernatural stuff, some nice words but no real plot.

These are all barely sci-fi
Jim & Irene -weird ending, iffy
Sword of Damocles -just dumb author rambling, bad
Gulf Wars -?? soul transfer, middle east, meh
Shores of Bohemia -actually an interesting premise that could have been fleshed out better. nanomachines
