you mean like they ignored the part of me asking what a "star trek purist" is? maybe you can shed some light on that.

I love that your response to what a "star trek purist" is is a defense of bs opinions on the internet

wtf is a Star Trek "purist" and why should anyone care about your arbitrary opinion?

I have an old Bitbucket that still works, but I've migrated to Codeberg. I'm also running a self-hosted Forgejo for personal stuff.

I really liked Broken Earth too, and I have Becky Chambers on the TBR.

You could try sci-fi magazines or short-story collections (like The New Yorker's Century Of Fiction which is over 1000 pages!) to find new authors you like and check out their work. Or you could double-down on Jemisin's other books.

this will be my next fiction read, but I don't know if I'll enjoy it because I never read Huck Finn.

I finished two short novels and I did not like both: Everyday Is For The Thief by Teju Cole and You Dreamed Of Empires by Alvaro Enrigue.

So it's back to non-fiction and my next book will be Empire of A.I. by Karen Hao.

finished Careless People by Sarah Wynn-Williams. currently reading Everyday Is For The Thief by Teju Cole.

The escalation of story/plot stakes from Three-Body to Dark Forest is huge, but if you don't like the writing style or the author's voice, it's more of the same.

[–] atomic@programming.dev 2 points 5 months ago

This is just a real performance for the author to write in 4 different style

My thoughts exactly! I'm happy you enjoyed it too😀

I just read the post-pregnancy, South Korea chapter, and wow! It's stunning how openly soulless tech execs can be to even their own employees.
