The Left Hand of Dog by Si Clarke

Reader review:
'If Becky Chambers wrote a story arc for Star Trek but the Doctor wandered in and brought The Hitchhiker's Guide.'

In dystopian fiction, the future can look bleak.
But when is that future actually? ⏱️

From 1980's Mad Max to Brave New World in 2540, I organized all these futures in a timeline to help you see the future clearer.

Hi, everyone. Do you know any good Medium/Substack newsletters on Sci Fi and Fantasy books?

I love how Evan Currie in his "Odyssey One" seems to have embraced the memes of humans as space orcs, because another description of it I would say is WTAF-as-a-Series 🤣
They have various adventures, that often are of the "the what now?" variety, and actions and results of the main character are usually met with "they did WHAT?!" reaction by enemies, and often allies 😂
Highly recommend!

Escaping Exodus by Nicky Drayden

The gender flipped 1950's style matriarchy was the least interesting part of the book. Kind of heavy-handed, it nonetheless set a good background for societal change. Throw in some love stories and overbearing parents, and you've got a solid YA SciFi novel. I did really enjoy the spaceships as well. Quite an interesting take.

Oh, plus 2 Romance authors who joined a Horror promo and weren't kicked for some reason. 🤔 I guess that one "Billionaire Daddy-Bro" is horror to me... I just imagine E. M*sk. 😜 Bleh!

What the f***?

Stephen King gives a blunt three word response when discovering 23 of his books have been banned from school libraries in Florida, a law which is now being challenged by six major book publishers.

Judas Unchained by Peter F. Hamilton

A delightfully complex tapestry of a book. I enjoyed the world, the problems, the problem solving, the interweaving of the storylines. I got tired of the rich, old, sex-obsessed white men running the Commonwealth, but I guess that's a proven character type. And, yes, there were other types involved in the running, but it was definitely a patriarchy. It just gets tiresome.

A mixed bag, but good.

I admit I'm a bit conflicted with my current read, Shadow Show: All New Stories In Celebration of Ray Bradbury, edited by Sam Weller and Mort Castle. I added this book to my TBR in 2012, long before I knew Bradbury might be problematic, and it was only recently that one of the contributing authors to this collection might also be problematic.

Holy hell, though... what a line-up: Margaret Atwood, Dave Eggers, Harlan Ellison, Joe Hill, Audrey Niffenegger. And then since I'm listening to the audiobook, there's the narrators making this that much more of a treat: George Takei, Kate Mulgrew, F. Murray freaking Abraham. It's really good stuff.
