Read all three volumes decades ago. 👍
I guessI'll find out. Just bought the first one for my kindleAre they good?
I enjoyed the first one. Just started the second novella.Are they good?
The images give vibes of a cross between Halo and Star Wars.
It's a pretty good read, but if you're actually looking for a "murderbot" you're going to be disappointed.-"The MurderBot Diaries" that shit better live up to it's name.
This story took an unexpected direction. I enjoyed it thoroughly.Reading Snow Crash
I have seen it referenced so often the last year, that I decided it was time to read it myself.
Bought that based on your post and then reading reviews. Excited about it.This story took an unexpected direction. I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Some of the predictions concerning near future it made ranged from amusingly way off to worryingly possible. Amusing things include - 30 minute pizza delivery and its importance. People still calling in the order. There still being pay phones. Skateboarding morphing into something useful.
On the other side: Corpos and organized crime taking over cities and other areas from government. With corpos telling Trump to build freedom cities, it feels on point. Zuckerbot calling it the Metaverse after the book lends to the idea some of these tech bros see it as a blueprint of sorts.
Brainwashing being easy to do on a mass level. I think we are there already. You don't need ancient hacker code to do it. Primary colors, blondes with nice legs, and a 24hr "news" cycle suffice.
I just looked at this series on goodreads. Seems like something I'd enjoy. Should I read the prequels to book 1 first?book #4 in Ryan Cahill's The Bound and The Broken series just came out so probably starting that. Just have to refresh my memories of the previous books.
