Kakistocracy by Alex Shvartsman is a fun sequel to The Middling Affliction. Conrad Brent is back and as snarky as ever. Highly recommended.
Book Reviews
Review: Last to Leave the Room
Last to Leave the Room by Caitlin Starling is an exquisitely crafted book with big things to say about science that I just could not get into. If you like slow build horror, this might be the book for you.
Review: Justice is Coming
Justice is Coming by Cenk Uygur is a rare book by a politician. It's substantively filled with facts and analysis. It's a book that inspires conversation with its subject matter whether the reader agrees or disagrees. It will anger you. It will call you names. It will make you re-examine your own positions. Highly recommended.
