The latest books that I’ve read and liked.
Animal Farm
Or how to steal a revolution and install a tyrant orders or magnitude worse than the original one.
Four legs good, two legs BETTER!
The Doomed City
A book so politically risky that its very existence was kept secret for sixteen years.
It is a mysterious city with an artificial sun, bordered by an abyss on one side and an impossibly high wall on the other. Its inhabitants have been plucked from different periods of twentieth-century history and left to govern themselves.
This is satire, philosophy, dark comedy, and dystopia. Excellent.
The Year’s Best Science Fiction: Thirty-Fifth Annual Collection
Enjoyable anthology, good collection of contemporary stories.
Transgalactic
A golden nugget from the Golden Age of Science Fiction. Falling empires, rebirth of civilizations, spaceships, bows and arrows. A window into the 1940’s.
Double Star
The Mechanical (The Alchemy Wars #1)
