Quote from The End Times of Markusz Zielinski by Keith Stevenson - “What the hell,” Elly said.
Markusz agreed. But he was staring at the annulus field and
wishing he had real time data on this. Twice now, Teel and Rachik
had produced an annulus effect he hadn’t foreseen. Admittedly, both
times with catastrophic results. From an experimental perspective,
it was intriguing and possibly quite promising. From a real-world
perspective it was fucking terrifying. After what happened to Paradis
how could they keep tinkering like this?
“They weren’t entirely unforeseen,” Helena said.
She was back. Markusz felt ridiculously happy about that. It
probably indicated he was succumbing to some deepening mental
psychosis, but what the hell.
“Not unf–” he began. Then the augment window collapsed
around him and he saw her standing at the workstation behind the
still seated Elly.
Helena smiled. “Nice set-up,” she said.
He smiled back. “Well, you know. But … not unforeseen?”
Elly stood. “Christ, is your dead wife back?”

Mini review #ScienceFiction 🪐📚 - more minis - keithstevenson.short.gy/minis

Mini-review - Altered Carbon by Richard Morgan - 5 stars. The OG cyberpunk detective story, but so much more. Morgan's storytelling, world building and technological/ social extrapolation make this one of the most fascinating pieces of SF from the early 2000s.

The thing I like about Duck Duck Go No AI search is that Wikipedia is often listed first.

Keith Stevenson@keithstevenson· May 29

Cage is amazing, channeling Edward G Robinson and Bogart in episode 2 alone, with a script that sizzles with noirish one-liners.

Mini-review - The Faith of Beasts by James SA Corey - 5 stars. The novel's power lies in its portrayal of vivid moments of humanity - sometimes in the most unexpected places - while the captives search for a way to defeat an unbeatable foe.

Mini-review - Market Forces by Richard K Morgan - 4 stars. A mash up of Death Race and The Night Manager paired with a geopolitical takedown of endstage capitalism shouldn't work. But this is Richard K Morgan, so buckle up.

Mini-review - Shroud by Adrian Tchaikovsky - 5 stars. Shroud is in equal parts a fascinating meditation on the nature of emergent consciousness, and a gruelling survival tale set in the most inhospitable of planetary environments, all told with Tchaikovsky's signature eit and intellectual rigour.

Mini-review - There is No Antimimetic Division by qntm - 5 stars - Author qntm channels shows like Sapphire and Steel and Quatermass to create a story about a secret war against phenomena that devour information of their own existence. Each linked tale is a beautifully balanced puzzle box that will bend your brain into spaces full of existential dread... In a good way.

Mini-review -Translation State by Ann Leckie - 5 stars- Leckie returns us to the universe of the Radch (and beyond) with a story that's so good-humoured and welcoming of the differences between people, it feels like a breath of fresh air for the troubling times in which we live.

#ScienceFiction 🪐📚

Mini-review Atlas Alone by Emma Newman - 5 stars - Dee wants to punish the people responsible for a terrible crime against Earth. But when she enters an immersive game that's seemingly made from her own memories, things go from bad to worse. A complete mindf**k of a story.

I'm currently worldbuilding, so I'm consulting the master: Iain M Banks in his book The Culture: The Drawings. This page is amazing, noting that in worldbuilding, 'nothing is so obvious that you might not have to explain it to somebody sometime' but 1/2 #ScienceFiction

A page from Iain M Banks's The Culture: The Drawings in which he's trying to work out the shift patterns for people living on a General Service Vehicle.
