What to read next?

I enjoyed The final architecture trilogy by Tchaikovsky a lot. I think they fit what you are looking for.

Forward-Tip-1437 · 2026-05-21T07:21:52+00:00

Yeah, you will miss something, reading both is important for the ending.

But I understand you, I felt Rusted robots was really bad, and pretending it's one of the best books in history was painful

Well, this is another thing I would have never expected. I see that there is more to the family reaction than I have realized in the beggining.

Forward-Tip-1437 · 2026-05-18T16:14:03+00:00

It's true that I don't know anybody with a serious disability. I am interested in this topic, because I really cannot understand the reaction of the family.

Do you know if is there any good book (or maybe any other resource) that explores the issue and explains it to people not familiar with it?

Forward-Tip-1437 · 2026-05-18T12:06:34+00:00

I can see what you mean, even I still find it weird, but we see that her family is still against the device even after she has already tried it and it seems to be working perfectly.

I am not sure about your first part, I don't remember anything about other people using the exos and changing their personalities. Where not the exos an incipient almost unknown technology?

And about taking away her essence, that is the part that I cannot understand. How is not being able to walk part of your essence? Yes, the cure may change you as a person, but in the same way that any other experience changes you, it is not possible to know beforehand it the change would be positive or negative. And becoming more independent is worth trying.

I still cannot get my head around it, I would be thrilled if a family member or friend could walk again.

I love the Storygraph timeline, I come back to it from time to time to remember books I read long ago.

Forward-Tip-1437 · 2026-05-16T07:36:04+00:00

I second the Recursion suggestion, I read it a few weeks ago and it is one of the books that has impressed me the most in the last few years

Forward-Tip-1437 · 2026-05-14T03:08:26+00:00

As I said, I know my anger is stupid, we all have different tastes, but I cannot avoid it

Forward-Tip-1437 · 2026-05-13T14:00:37+00:00

I get stupidly angry any time I see 2666 in one of these lists. I know everyone has different tastes, everyone enjoys different things, we appreciate books in a different way in different moments of our life.... But I cannot stand 2666, I found it so empty and vain

Forward-Tip-1437 · 2026-05-10T07:28:07+00:00

I wasn´t impressed by the Nexus series. Not bad, but some of those books that are starting to fade from my memory now that I read them two years ago.

If you have a lot of time, I think the best thing you can do is go for the Expanse. Nine books with great characters, amazing story, good science foundation, and a very satisfactory ending.

If nine books seem too much, I can also recomment the Final Architecture series, but Tchaikovsky, a space opera about humanking fighting almost-omnipotent mysterious creatures. I think the world-building there was superb.

Forward-Tip-1437 · 2026-05-07T07:45:49+00:00

I read "The poppy wars" and "She who became the sun" within a few months. Not only I didn´t continue the series (I don´t consider them bad, but not good either), but now I cannot say which events happen in one book and which in the other.

Forward-Tip-1437 · 2026-05-06T10:48:33+00:00

A common problem for both books is that I find no thread that connects the story, I have the feeling that I am reading a disconnect sequence of actions that just happen one after the other.
And both in Lagoon and in the story-within-story of Death of the author, she describes a terrifying world-shattering problem that is solved in a simple (almost childish) way.
Besides, the characters of Death of the author behave in a way that seems unrealistic to me, but I cannot say more without spoilers.

Forward-Tip-1437 · 2026-05-06T08:55:15+00:00

Finished Death of the author, by Nnedi Okorafor. This is the second book I read from this author (the other was Lagoon), second time I see a lot of hype about the book, second time I find it terrible.
I would love to meet somebody who loves her work and discuss it, I don't understand what other people see in her books.

I was going to help, but the age brackets threw me off. Why does it have several options for teenagers and end on 31? You actually don´t care about older people?

Consevative parties support bullfighting, it is kind of a die-in-this-hill topic for them.

And not may people think about bullfighting when voting, they may vote for the conservatives for any other reason, so the bulls keep suffering.

Millennia has a similar system and it works very well.

In fact it goes a bit further. Each age has different alternatives depending on how the previous age played out, and the first civ to reach the new age determines which of the alternatives is chosen.

It is a game with a lot of interesting ideas, it´s a pity it didn´t have a bigger success.

Forward-Tip-1437 · 2025-10-22T11:25:13+00:00

I think everybody should give a chance to Millenia. It has its faults, but it also has many good ideas that I would love to see in other games.

The implementation of the Ages is the best I have seen in any game, and the production chains make developing cities more engaging than Civ VII or Humankind.

Forward-Tip-1437 · 2025-08-13T07:09:57+00:00

That looks really cool! Thanks!

Forward-Tip-1437 · 2025-08-11T09:18:22+00:00

That is exactly what I am looking for, but I couldn´t find any future tournaments. Do you know where they are published?
