The Demons of Science: What They Can and Cannot Tell Us About Our World

This book is the first all-encompassing exploration of the role of demons in philosophical and scientific thought experiments. In Part I, the author explains the importance of thought experiments in science and philosophy. Part II considers Laplace’s Demon, whose claim is that the world is completely deterministic. Part III introduces Maxwell’s Demon.

Finished up edits on another draft of the novel. Hooray!🎉🎉🎉

Any takers for a beta read for a 175k word low, dark, fantasy? I know it's a heavy lift and would gladly swap or help out in some other way. Thanks!

@willelm @bookstodon when do you want it back by (given holidays as chaos interfering), and what do you want out of a beta read? Not volunteering just yet, getting more info.

@willelm @bookstodon I'm head down in an overhaul of my own, but should have some time after Thanksgiving. That's a nice, clear list of what you're looking for, but the way, thank you! Er... Is there any sort of direct message in Mastodon where I can give you an email address? Still finding my way around.

As if children's books aren't already losing visibility due to censorship now this...

This year Goodreads has removed all children's books categories from their Goodreads Choice Awards, meaning no more #MG or #PB categories. Worse, Graphic Novel & Poetry, have also been eliminated.

Here you can vote to ask them to bring those categories back:

Tell me a good book you’ve read this year that you’d recommend.

I’ll start: Crow Mary by Kathleen Grissom

@Likewise @bookstodon I quite liked The Watchmaker Of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley. Also The Wizard's Butler by Nathan Lowell. Both unusual and engaging reads, imo.

@kimlockhartga @Likewise @bookstodon it's definitely not a quick read, or a light one. But it's very engaging.

„The kidneys (grilled over a clear fire) lay on top of thick slices of bacon, surrounded by fried potatoes, golden brown and sizzling. The bacon was farm bacon (…) Gilbert fell to and enjoyed his supper; the grill, followed by apple tart, and the apple tart by home-made cheese.“ — I would love to read a novel full of food descriptions like that .Any #suggestions?

@bookstodon I'm looking for book recommendations for an 11yo who reads at a much more advanced level. He likes sci-fi. He has read the Hitchhiker's Guide series and loved them. I think he would enjoy some more 'hard' sci-fi as well. He needs something challenging but without subject matter that is too mature. Thanks for any help!

@rabbit_fighter @bookstodon take a look at Catherine Valente.

A mother's love can transcend even death.

If that means ghosts breastfeeding newborn children, then so be it.

The magical tomes known as "Characters" give their owners the power to achieve anything they want.

But, sooner or later, the owners come to a bad end.
