I don't mean to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?

Still way behind in blogging nonfiction, but I accumulated enough fiction to justify a new entry.


Dan Simmons, ( Hyperion duology; TW for rape )

Adrian Tchaikovsky, Service Model: ( No bugs, only robots/humans )
Paul Cornell, ( a border fantasy that gets interesting with Brexit )

Max Gladstone, Wicked Problems: ( Craft and eldritch horror )
Naomi Novik, Buried Deep and Other Stories: Collection of stories, including from the worlds of Temeraire (Caesar, and also a Pride and Prejudice retelling), the Scholomance, and the in-progress world of (architectural) follies. Nicely representative.

M.R. Carey, Echo of Worlds: ( another many worlds duology )
Arkady Martine, Rose/House: ( AI house with murder )
Steven Brust, Lyorn: ( and here the random Earth memes did annoy me )
Waubgeshig Rice, The Moon of the Turning Leaves: ( Can apocalypse fiction be cozy? )
Jason Pargin, I’m Starting To Worry About This Black Box of Doom:( always online, rarely in doubt )
