It’s time to select a book for November! I’ll collect nominations for the next couple of days....

I really enjoyed all three books. They managed to do the galactic empire thing without getting overly bogged down in politics, and character development was interesting. I thought Leckie did a good job of conveying an extended AI in multiple bodies, and a solitary form (avoiding spoilers)....

Gauging interest in having weekly discussion threads for Strange Planet. Star Trek SNW just finished so looking to add a series. Any other suggestions are more than welcome as well.

The animated BiliBili adaptation of The Dark Forest (Book 2 of TBP) was a bit strange, but I really like the ending theme. The mood is perfect for what should have been a great adaptation.

You are being watched. The government has a secret system, a machine that spies on you every hour of every day. I designed the machine to detect acts of terror, but it sees everything. Violent crimes involving ordinary people. The government considers these people “irrelevant”. We don’t. Hunted by the authorities, we work...
