Canticle for Leibowitz will never stop being one of the best scis fi ever written.

The semi-sequel is actually also p.deece.

E: I liked A Memory Called Empire well enough but the whole cortical stacks thing is way less cool and way way creepier than the author clearly seems to think/wants you to think? Given the society-destroying shitfest that social media has become I also feel like the technology is v.poorly integrated into the miner's culture, like: humans would not treat such a thing in such a way.

Richard K. Morgan's Thirteen was a little :stare: IMO but the in-continuity/non-sequel Thin Air is really v.deece.

Better than the Altered Carbon series IMO?

E: And the new Warhammer Crime line of books is extremely extremely good cyberpunky-noir in a 40k context. If that sounds like :peanut: to you you'll almost certainly like it, if it sounds like :sadpeanut: to you then you very possibly won't? :shrug:

Mycroft Holmes posted:

I don't know if it exactly counts as sci-fi, but the Destroyermen series by Taylor Anderson has two old destroyers from WWII travel to an alternate world where the dinosaurs never died and which is also a dumpng ground for various strains of human history. They fight dinosaurs, Aztec-Spanish cultists, and fascists. Pretty good.

So it's like that one episode of Sharpe's Rifles but nautical and set during the Spanish Civil War?

:confused:
