Dungeon Crawler Carl is in my stack but I think it’s apocalyptic

Currently reading Gideon the Ninth

A Master of Djinn probably more fantasy than sci fi

If you like fantasy I’d say Nettle and Bone my favorite in that genre that I’ve read recently

What counts as apocalyptic?

What counts as scifi?

A Master of Djinn
A Memory Called Empire
Delta-V
The Mercy of Gods

These may fall under “apocalyptic” unfortunately

Not like-like but like

"Applicant should consider being awarded more single-investigator grants." Oh, great advice, thanks!

I understand the broader point you are making, but surely $25 million for a single early career scientist is a misprint?

Otherwise this is frankly absurd that a single investigator would have a single grant worth $25 million

I was not a fan- it was hard for me to concentrate on speakers being able to hear other pods
