Newton's Wake: A Space Opera by Ken MacLeod

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I wanted some chewy scifi (nothing hard enough to require work, just something a bit toothsome). This got the job done – post singularity wormhole explorers playing in the remnants of godlike AI’s, space communists, mass consciousness uploads, etc. Second cousin to Stargate original flavor with a certain Kage Baker-ish soupcon to the protagonist, the faintest touch of the gigglies, and some deliberately terrible folk music as a bonus. Nothing groundbreaking or particularly new or exciting, but it got the job done.

....you've been a readin' machine lately! Of course, I bet you're ALWAYS a readin' machine whether you're reviewing or not :P

Not much more than usual -- just catching up on a backlog of reviews. Some of these are from mumblemumble months back.

Though I will admit to being, in general and specific, a bit of a reader. Maybe a teeny weeny bit. Once in a while.
