ranjit finished reading Biting the Sun by Tanith Lee
As they observed in the WvL podcast, this book both anticipated and satirized post-scarcity luxury gay space communism stories decades in advance. But they didn't note that it also anticipated vaporwave! The whole design of the city of Four BEE is greek revival architecture with mists and rainbows and bird-planes and artistically designed sunsets and cloud resorts and canals with bubble boats and robot swans.

Obsession & folly
4 stars
A strange and fun (and short!) recounting of the author’s obsession with a failed polar expedition a century before.
