Reviews of things I've read.•Back to Reviews Page
To Say Nothing of the Dog • 2013 • Connie Willis • Book 3 of the Oxford Time Travel series. It's funny and cute and compelling, even if I miss Mr. Dunworthy's constant presence ala Doomsday Book. But Ned Henry and all the other characters make this a fun book that's hard to put down. • Loved It! 
Tracers in the Dark • Andy Greenberg • Truly anonymous finance is the wet dream of the libertarian crypto bros, but it's a lie. Turns out logging everything is actually just like logging everything. Tons of wild and wacky fun. • Loved It! 
Virtual Light • 1993 • William Gibson • A very good book, imaginative and hopefully not prophetic. The first of a series that works together better as the sum of its parts, but individually, this one is a good read. • Liked It 
We Don't Need Roads • Caseen Gaines • 2015 • Amateurishly and inelegantly written to the point where I'm not sure how reliable the narratives are. Don't read it, even if you love Back to the Future. • Didn't Like It 
When the Moon Hits Your Eye • 2025 • John Scalzi This is what should be called a silly, maybe even dumb, book. But it isn't. It's fun. And it manages to make a few relevant points about humanity along the way. • Loved It!
