Pretty good old-school sci-fi.  Nice plot twists to wrap it up.

Number two in the Murderbot series.  I like the short format.

I have been watching the TV show too and enjoying it--7 episodes into the first season.

Decent enough to get me to read the next one in the series.  I would say more but I finished it about a month ago so the memories are fading.  Also as usual I read it in 15 minute chunks as I was falling asleep.

An enjoyable book with some interesting action.  It is lacking in grand sci-fi concepts other than the sulfur stuff, which I thought for sure was going to be a cargo ship loaded with iron filings based on some commentary I had seen before reading.  But there is a good amount of near-future envisionings: drone concepts, live streaming, climate impacts, etc.

The climate topics overall are a no for me.  I don't identify with the people who dread climate impacts all day long in real life.  So even though I think it is plausible for such things to happen, I guess I really do not care to read a book about it.  I think I envision all these "dreaders" also reading the book and being like, "yes, see that is what will happen!" and want to roll my eyes so hard.

I wonder what topics I enjoy reading that would cause such eye rolling by others?

Lastly, I am really not sure what to think of the non-lethal border wars!  Is there some kernel of this developing already that I don't know about?

This book seems to be THE resource on this era and locale of old farmhouse styles.  There is a ton of great info about the various types and in fact this is the only material I know of which has grouped them into specific types.

The book could be improved with more example pictures.
