![]() ![]() You'd need to dig into the most bizarre and well-written History tomes to find anything better.Ībsolutely Amazing - this book series just got better and better & I cannot wait to hear what happens next. Each book is getting better and better, but there is considerable world building (and destruction). But if you've gotten this far, you already know all this. ![]() As mentioned, I followed the cold read for this, but he's upped the quality even more in the post. Meanwhile, great characters, constant menace, fun dialog, great combat, crunchy leveling details, absolutely everything good in a litRPG series. I was there as Matt book five sent Jeff into two minute laugh breakdown. Matt Dinniman is a master of set-up and payoff. I listened to all of Jeff Hays' cold reads for this book. I've gone back and forth through the series five times now, picking up on more and more throwaway moments that ended up being important later. Every chapter, every arc, often every sentence has a later payoff. Even Carl hasn't matched Shackleton's level of insane plans yet. ![]() ![]() Other genres have better books, such as North by Shackleton or Memoirs by Grant, these have real life insanity that's hard to compete with. Dungeon Crawler Carl is the highest quality SF&F series I've read. The stuff not in the movie, not quite as good. Most good series have a good core but various poor parts that get glossed over. Perhaps the best plotted SF series ever writtenĪs a long-time fantasy and science fiction reader, I try to read everything good. ![]()

If, however, ancient tragedy shows us that the body pays with its disintegration for the emergence of personality and its right to pursue desire, the contemporary tragedy that Lyacos portrays reveals to us a human subject that can no longer focus on its center of gravity. The soul’s bone has broken and circulates like a clot in the body, the body nevertheless remaining unchanged. Lyacos’ hell is a valley of transmutations right to the point where the match has gone out and identity, memory and existence are lost. There are no cast-out angels here, rivers of blood and lava, lashes and cauldrons. Every page of the volume is a flaring match and for as long as it lasts it reveals before your eyes a fragment of hell. Reading Z213: EXIT by Dimitris Lyacos you feel like the book’s anonymous narrator. An alien sentence comes and sticks in your mind. Pieces missing, empty pages, match, again. Some lines you manage, they are gone, another match, again. ![]() As much as you have time to see in the room that flares and fizzles out.

In 1907, Jigalong, in the Pilbara region, was established as a government depot and base for the men who maintained the rabbit-proof fence. The Superintendent of the depot was also the Protector of Aborigines for the area.

"Hobble off back to your room," he barked after an evening spent banging pustular tarts in a wee-spattered alleyway. The focus, as ever, was on Sugar's changing fortunes – her identity drifting in and out of focus as William's affections sputtered like the gaslights that clung to his lung-coloured hallways. After three weeks of relatively steady misery, here was a conclusion that gathered up all assumptions and remaining tufts of humour, then booted them into the Thames. From the depths of W11, the plot extended a bony finger and beckoned us into its final act. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Whether you are complaining about your acne or engaging in political debate on Facebook, searching for a recipe or sensitive health information on Google, ordering laundry soap or taking photos of your nine-year-old, smiling or thinking angry thoughts, watching TV or doing wheelies in the parking lot, all of it is raw material for this burgeoning text.” “The result is that both the world and our lives are pervasively rendered as information,” Zuboff writes. Even if you’ve followed the news items and historical trends that gird Zuboff’s analysis, her telling takes what look like privacy overreaches and data blunders, and recasts them as the intentional movements of a global system designed to violate you as a revenue stream. ![]() Cover: Public Affairs BooksAn unavoidable takeaway of “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism” is, essentially, that everything is even worse than you thought. ![]() |
