Why it's taking me forever to finish consuming "Altered Carbon: A Takeshi Kovacs Novel (Takeshi Kovacs Novels)" — 2 years ago
I’m kind of busy, what with the baby and all, plus learning Scheme, plus learning Spanish, plus practicing the guitar. Nonetheless, I find some time to read this “SF noir.” Although it’s good SF, in a strange way it seems sort of dated, even though it’s only a few years old. I don’t get quite the, “Aha!” feeling I get when reading my favorites like Cory Doctorow, David Brin, or Vernor Vinge. These authors all seem to be part of a long conversation on which I’m eavesdropping.
