A Good Old-fashioned Future
4 stars
Solid! Bruce Sterling's quite fun when he gets his engines going in the right direction.
The later shorts are all in the same universe and tie in together with cross-over characters; I enjoyed them immensely. That is: Deep Eddy (the concept of the Wende!), Bicycle Repairman (v good), and Taklamakan (climbing-focused sci-fi, v good).
Weakest of the collection was Sacred Cow; it didn't do anything for me.

came across this as a reference to one of the papers i was reading from the Computing within LIMITS conference; seems super intriguing

the perfect soundtrack for this book is this concept album consisting of sampled sounds from endangered or extinct species

"Life in Warp" is my debut album. Every sound (like literally every sound, every kick, synth, etc) you hear in the record was created from field recordings of living beings that have been endangered since the beginning of the Anthropocene.
