For a book that spun out of a pun about a Shan, Lord of Light is a pretty captivating one. Roger Zelazny crafts a unique world that draws from Hinduism. While not as extensive in world building as Dune, there are parallels in both of these science fiction epics.

Akira Toriyama's Manga Theater is a must-have collection of the famed mangaka's (and a personal hero) early works for fans of his later (and more popular) works. It gives an insight into the designs & inspirations for the likes of Dragon Ball, and how Toriyama mastered his style over the decades.

'Facebook: The Inside Story' from @wired.com's @stevenlevy.bsky.social is a gripping (and depressing) deep dive into the commodification of our digital (and personal) data that Facebook/Meta fined tune; and gives ample opportunities to contemplate the existence of the company.

Some say that undertaking a PhD is a lonely journey, but it doesn't have to be the case!
This year's EU GREEN Summer School in Parma was filled with new connections, great craic & insights; all under the warm Italian sun and, of course, accompanied by the country's typically delicious food.

Finished @nealstephenson.bsky.social 's Polostan today. As usual, it's an insightful read (although shorter by the author's standard) and feels like it's setting the scene for the upcoming tomes in a planned series. Looking forward to where it takes Aurora & co.!

I've just completed the Baroque Cycle, @nealstephenson.bsky.social's epic historical fantasy book series. I'm glad to have done so, even if it wasn't an easy read. My fav bits are with Jack & the pirates. Looking forward to starting Polostan, but first I've to dive into the future of healthcare 👀

Got my hands on @nealstephenson.bsky.social's latest book, Polostan. It's less lengthy than his other books at ~300 pages, so it'll be my next read but I have to finish The System of the World first!

Finished the classic RPG Mother today. First released on the NES, a GBA version was released with some quality of life improvements. It's recommended if you want to experience the first installment of an influential franchise.

Took some time but I finally managed to beat original Final Fantasy VII. It's an impressive work for its time but some aspects haven't aged well like the combat & difficulty spikes. But it still delivers a strong impression with its plot & world building.
