This is one of those rare hard science fiction books that contrives to both invoke rigorous scientific concepts and offer interesting plot and characters. If some of the more advanced technology revealed at the book’s conclusion seems a bit like magic, well, that’s probably rather the point.
Stories To Tell
To say that we must tell the stories that are unique to us is to crimp ourselves. Don’t set out to tell the story that only you can tell. Set out to tell the story that you want to tell.
Eye of the World Review
The Wheel of Time turns, and the ages come again – in this case, it brings at long last my reread of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series.
Character Thoughts
I have not spent enough time rigorously internalizing how to present character thoughts in different viewpoints.
War and Peace Review
It luxuriates, meandering through lives and small events that stack up into occasional flashes of intense conflict. Instead of following a central plot thread all the way through in a direct fashion, as a modern novel would, Tolstoy leads the reader on a winding path that, while you’re walking it, can feel unfocused, but that somehow still conveys a sense of progress.
New Project: Rogue Planet
I am pleased to announce that my next project will be a science fiction novel tentatively entitled Rogue Planet.
Wisdom Sits in Places Review
I was left pondering this idea of perception and the environment, too nebulous as yet for me to fully express it myself. Wisdom Sits in Places is the answer for which I did not realize I was looking.
Manufacturing Commercial Space
So long as government contracts remain the primary revenue source for companies operating in the space industry, commercial space is just a shell.
A Psalm for the Wild Built Review
I can’t tell if my lingering dissatisfaction with it is because it really wasn’t as good as it could have been, or because it didn’t match what I had in my head for the concept.
Individualism, Time Travel, and Shoes
They weren’t remarkable shoes, which is both my point, and my mostly forgotten, pseudo-time-travelling alien debater’s.
