imagineutopia reviewed The Bezzle by Cory Doctorow (Martin Hench, #2)
The year is 2006. Martin Hench is at the top of his game as a …
Someone will like this; I'm glad it exists; but I shouldn't have wasted my time reading it and idk why I'm going to read the next one.

Considerably more tolerable than the last, but the bar is very very low. I hate Martin Hench. If he was a real person I'd be glad for his work and try to never interact or hear from him. Also, Christ, these books are awful to read as a class conscious vegan. So much meat! Doctorow's best fiction is Walkaway and that book is incredible ! Read it instead.

Fun and Extraordinarily Well-Researched Cli-fi
4 stars
I really really enjoyed this. There's some stuff about blockchain that is somewhat silly and unbelievable, and it is a story of the future told largely from above rather than below which makes it an interesting contrast to Doctorow's Walkaway. The multitude of voices and short chapters and general hopefulness is cool too!

imagineutopia reviewed Works of love by Søren Kierkegaard (Kierkegaard's writings ;)
Works of Love (Danish: Kjerlighedens Gjerninger) is a work by Søren Kierkegaard written in 1847. …
Insufferable
1 star
Terrible! Mostly the thoughts of a grumpy asshole with occasional interesting looks into Christianity. Sometime there are glimpses of proto-existentialism, which is interesting, but does not make this worth reading.
