Do you need to play the first to understand 2?

David Mitchell wrote in his new afterward of Cloud Atlas that he invented a new structure but even he said he was building off Cavino’s Winters Night. Made me think of the saying “There’s no such thing as a new idea” and how innovation is often just integrating disparate ideas into something new.

The penguin weird re-issues are coming to the US (listed for preorder in B&N, at least)

The Nights Dawn trilogy by Hamilton or Revelation Space by Reynolds are great.

Which Joyce Carol Oates are your favorite? I’ve only read Zombie and like to read more.

I bet Black Rebel Motorcycle Club is none too happy about their song/cover being in this.

The Surfer was my biggest surprise hit. He’s amazing in it too.

The Director’s Cut removes/moves the narration (among other changes) and is widely considered superior to the theatrical version.

That’s coincidentally what the dvd menus are like for the special edition of momento

Those older Datlow anthologies are amazing. I’m working my way through the 10th vol.

You were friends with Barry Malzberg! Were you a fan of his work? Any favorite stories you’d be willing to share?

JD Vance will immediately stop talking about the “replication crisis” in social psychology when he sees this.

Favorite film composer and score?

Do you have any favorite horror video games?

What’s a movie or book that feels truly genuinely evil?

I want to play this game so bad. I hear it’s great. Keep us posted!

Did you see Copenhagen Cowboy?

Favorite spy movie?

Fluenz is really good. I have the full course set.

I returned mind for the same problem (preordered from B&N). The art is nice when it’s actually bright enough to see.

They’re lemmings. Most MAGA would support single payer health care if their leader told them to.

Wow that’s really cool. Will you be drawing any connections between your research and abundance policies in the discussion?

I am curious what else would be on this sub-genre list. I just finished the third book and loved the whole series (Don’t skip the appendices!)
