The Valkyrie Review

The story seems set up as a quest/mystery, but the narrative voice is more concerned with the rather forced romance between the two viewpoint characters.

202606.16202605.26 lloydearickson Reviews

Emotional Intelligence 2.0 Review

Also known as: how to shut up, fit in, and get by – using corporate doublespeak to deceive others, accomplish nothing, and never rock the boat.

202606.11202604.13 lloydearickson Fantasy, Reviews

Guards! Guards! Review

I really want you to think of this less as a review for a specific Pratchett novel - Guards! Guards! - and more as a reminder to come back to Discworld every now and then.

Zeroing Infinity

I’m certainly not mathematician enough to approach the problem in a mathematically rigorous way – then again, most of the arguments cited in Quanta’s article are more philosophical or metaphysical than mathematical.

202606.04202604.13 lloydearickson Historical, Non-Fiction, Reviews

Chronicles Review

Chronicles is to Kings what The Lord of the Rings books are to the movies - different interpretations with different emphases, but ultimately telling the same story.

202606.02202605.10 lloydearickson Education, Science

Designing Experiments

Design of experiments lets us be far more efficient in our experimental approach, reducing the number of runs we need to do to acquire insights, while offering techniques for gaining more insights than we could from just running a bunch of trials.

202605.28202604.13 lloydearickson Reviews, Science Fiction

Aurora Review

It disappointed all my expectations in a thoroughly pessimistic reinterpretation of core science fiction genre tropes adorned by mediocre prose and little in the way of creativity.

202605.26202605.26 lloydearickson Uncategorized

Recommendation: DragonForged

The particular incarnation of the creatures in DragonForged is as god-like beings, and the story has a certain mythical overtone.

202605.21202603.19 lloydearickson Classic, Fantasy, Reviews

Jurgen: A Comedy of Justice Review

It is the combination of an unsympathetic narrator, no meaningful plot progression, unremarkable rhetoric, and unserious approach which led me to abandon the text. I’m not certain why it’s received so much praise and attention, other than the controversies it stirs.

Not Endings?

Millions of stories are told set in the “real world,” and no one complains they are less than satisfying because the world hasn’t ended yet.
