econadders finished reading The bug by Ellen Ullman
As a developer, I did not enjoy this book at all. It was very stressful, possibly because you recognise a lot of elements (with some exaggeration for dramatic effect). Thank God this kind of business culture has mostly passed by now...

Fuck me this is a rough read. It's very original and thought provoking as you would expect from him, but incredibly depressing. Worth it, but be prepared for what you're getting into.

Review of 'Children of Memory' on 'LibraryThing'

SPOILERS returnreturnThis is a good book, original and engaging, as his others have been, but unlike the others, bloody hell is it grim. I would recommend it, but not if you're in any kind of dark place. It left me emotionally drained and grieving, for the twist.

Review of 'The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet' on 'LibraryThing'
5 stars
I love these books they make me happy. The characters are all people/individuals with their own motivations, hopes, fears, confusions etc, even though only about half the characters are human. The aliens are aliens and not just "humans with stuck on ears and green skin". Read it, and then read all the others. The universe-building is also outstanding.
