A highly eccentric, newly penniless, science fiction writer is forced by his terrifying mother to take a job at a mysterious company. His job? Train an AI to write science fiction...or so it first appears.

Centuries old vampires grapple with racism, racial purity, and genetic tinkering. Interesting well thought out world with two extant, interdependent humanoid species. A bit didactic and one major inappropriate coupling hurdle but worthwhile. #fantasy #vampires #booksky #fantasyfaction #bookreview

Red posole. The wide variety of dried chillies on sale in the supermarket is one of the best features of Colorado. Thank goodness for our multicultural history and for immigration.

The last instalment of a supernatural fantasy strung thinly through several novels is hampered by cringeworthy characters and a retelling of excruciating too recent history. Only the first and last sections grabbed me. #fantasy #bookreview #booksky #fantasyfaction

A robot Butler is suddenly terminated from his job and must venture out into the world to seek his fortune. Unfortunately, the world isn't exactly operational. The robot's verbose and obtuse thoughts and dialogue can be skimmed with no loss of plot. #bookreview #scifi #fantasyaction #booksky

Yew are right! I guess podcasts are the Australian equivalent. Really similar ever green needly tree or shrub with berries but the seeds bloop out of the berries.

A tale of absolute power corrupts absolutely told via loosely connected vignettes involving suffering the consequences of that corruption. An absorbing, intricate scifi epic. Highly recommended. #fantasyfaction #scifi #bookreview

A crew of heavily modified humans investigates an alien presence at the edge of the solar system. Interesting hard scifi with a cyberpunk feel exploring extreme neurodiversity and the difference between interpretation and observation. Highly recommended. ##bookreview #scifi
