this epic, spanning 600 years (and 772 pages!) after the total depopulation of Europe by the Plague. The story is essentially 10 short stories / novellas spanning this time, linked by the reincarnation of characters. It did occasionally feel like work - KSR loves characters who lecture, although he usuallly writes about intellectuals for whom this makes sense - but overall I find it rewarding and rich. @bookstodon

@RanaldClouston @bookstodon This has been sitting on my bookshelf for years. I know I'll probably like it, since I like a lot of other KSR stuff, but thanks for the reminder. Also did not know it was more a story collection; that makes it seem a little less daunting. I'll have to get to it.

xsecur,

@JaydeHolmes @RanaldClouston @bookstodon It's good to know it is a short story collection and is now in my TBR. I read Ministry of Future which, although quite long, was an enjoyable read.
