Wow. I am off-​​pace this year. Just five books in two months. Admit­tedly, I was on vaca­tion for two weeks and didn’t get much read­ing in of the non-​​internet variety.

I don’t have a lot to say about this book. It is fair, I think, to call it chal­leng­ing. I am still digest­ing it, I sup­pose. Rec­om­mended, although at this point I couldn’t tell you pre­cisely why. I’ll def­i­nitely pick up more of his work in the future, and maybe will do another post about it when I’ve had more time to think about what on earth was going on in the latter half of the book.

Things I’m in the middle of reading:

• The Quiet War, by Paul McAuley
• The Cary­atids, by Bruce Omniver­i­tas Sterling
• Return of the Crim­son Guard, by Ian Esselmont
• The Case for Big Gov­ern­ment, by Jeff Madrick

There are a couple of other things, but noth­ing that I’m far enough into to men­tion. I may aban­don the last two.
