Prosecco, cigarettes and the new book of Neal Asher . A lock-down doesn’t get much better

Rereading the Jain trilogy of Neal Asher and making the best out of the lock-down. And now waiting for the Night Shade Books edition of The Human. And definitely feeling like living in a science fictional world.

Using the lockdown to geek out with my new DM42 from SwissMicros

A completist‘s dream of ⁦Neal Asher⁩ Rise of the Jain novels

Paradise! Adrian Tchaikovsky’s new book @thedoorsofeden , Prosecco and a cigarette. A sentient orthocone might be able to put into words how good the book is, I can’t.

The new @DM41X of SwissMicros arrived. It is a thing of great beauty!

The Ministry for the Future by KSR.info arrived! It's cool to read that it will be headquartered 5 minutes' walk away from where I lived as a student and about 2 minutes away from where my son was born. I can't wait to start reading.

Reading the great Lockdown Tales by Neal Asher and watching Futurama in the cavernous back of our new car; the thing to do while the world around us burns.

I just bought the premium subscription for the Financial Times, mainly to be able to read the articles by Gideon Rachman. It's pricey but worth it.

Happy #YearoftheTiger! 🐯 To ring in the new year, Swiss 🇨🇭 light artist Gerry Hofstetter created the largest work of art in the world by projecting a 5.3 km long and over 2 km tall #tiger on the #Eiger North Face in Grindelwald. How amazing is that? 📸: Frank Schwarzbach

I just received "The Age of the Strongman" by Gideon Rachman. A great book and it should be required reading for any risk manager or for any thinking person.

Ostentatious mourning by Apple , a reason not to update to the new IPhone 14

War Bodies by Neal Asher . It took a while, but getting a signed edition was worth the wait.

I love Jenny Trapdoor by Neal Asher , but who set the reading age to 5 - 18 years?

2 weeks of eating, sleeping and reading the new book by Neal Asher : paradise

Here is my collection of books by Neal Asher . I love each and every one of them. They promise a bright AI-led future, which seems so much more preferable to what we can expect with the current batch of politicians in all too many countries.

I can't wait for it to arrive. x.com/gregeganSF/sta…

Here is my collection of all my Greg Egan books, with a complete set of first editions. In this times where imbeciles run the show in too many countries, nothing gives more hope than reading a Greg Egan novel about competent people or sentients solving complex problems.

The Hugo Nominees for 2018 thehugoawards.org/hugo-history/2… are all great. My personal favorite is @KSR 's "New York 2140", which is the only science fiction book that I know that shows that Swiss Re will still exist in 2140.
