I re read this one again. Good if you like hard science fiction and the odd joke thrown in. Might give Hail Mary a go too.

I've just finished Stephen Baxter's Galaxias and would recommend it. Along with pretty much everything else Baxter has written actually, he really is a superb author. Particular mentions for the NASA trilogy (Voyage, Titan and Moonseed), as well as Flood and its sequel/companion, Ark.

I recently finished The Origins and History of Consciousness by Erich Neumann and currently ploughing through Sources of the Self by Charles Taylor.

Neumann's work was excellent. He was Jung's student and basically carried further on Jung's foundation.

I'll wait on evaluating Taylor's work until I've finished it.

Also recently read Beyond Order by Jordan Peterson. Can't begin to say enough about how all his books constitute and incredibly comprehensive synthesis of so many disciplines including: psychology, psychiatry, biology, chemistry, literature, religion, genetics, and so much more. His first book, Maps of Meaning is a bit of a challenge but his subsequent books are quite accessible to the average reader.

From Jung to Dostoyevsky - Peterson puts it all together in a complete presentation that has yet to be challenged in any significant way.

As some of you may know I'm a bit of a computer history buff. Yet, despite owning the book for a number of years, I never quite got around to reading 'Where Wizards Stay Up Late' (Katie Hafner and Matthew Lyon). It's essentially a history of how the Internet came to be and it turns out it's superb.

I'm also re-reading Steven Levy's "Hackers" (nothing to do with the film), which is more to do with the hacker mindset from its early days of TX-0 and PDP-1 hacking (and even more before that, with model railway enthusiasts at MIT).

And I'm also starting to read 'Fumbling The Future: How Xerox Invented, Then Ignored, The First Personal Computer', which is a part of computer history I've always been intrigued by.


I've also read and finished the new Lee Child, 'The Midnight Line' which is another of his Jack Reacher novels and a damn good one too. Slightly different to his previous ones.

This post.
Well thanks goodness Jobs saw the potential and gates copied from jobs. Maybe Frontier should take note at their 'missed' opportunities. Me I collect the physical retro artefact rather than just read about them.

First Colony - Ken Lozito

For three hundred thousand colonists, the new colony brings the promise of a fresh start…a second chance. Connor might be the wrong man for the colony, but he’s the right man to see that it survives what’s coming.
