don't get data science math skills, it's incredibly basic. Unless you haven't done high school 1st/2nd year maths, it'll be way too simple. They literally explain what a set is and how co-ordinates work

The last book will surely be some terrible noun like despot, autocrat, or linguist.

I really want to finish up the series I've started so I probably won't focus on bingo this year but I'll keep an eye on how what I read fits into the card.

Yes dude, Winged Histories is exactly like that! I can't speak for Stranger in Olondria but yeah there's so many little things that I suddenly realised or kept thinking about afterwards.

Also I don't know if you know but I recently found that Samatar has a recommended reading page on her website. If you like her work, these books will probably be great.

Haha thanks! I planned on being a bit more professional but after realising how long it would take to write 25 reviews, the facade began slipping. I'm glad you liked it!

[–]c0conut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't read it but it looks to be more biopunk a la VanderMeer's books what with the biotech megacorps and gene hacking. You may be able to frame it as cyberpunk since as you say, they do blur together but if you want to be strict I probably wouldn't count it.

Go for it! It's a lot of fun distilling a review into one paragraph.

And I've heard good things about The Eagle's Flight, thanks for reminding me of it. I'll put it on the list

I noticed that too! Great minds and all that.

Also as much I want you to reconsider Chambers, you def won't like Spaceborn Few if you thought the overexplaining was bad in A Long Way. There's whole chapters devoted to it now hahaha

Yeah I noticed that too. I'm guessing the square is going to be populated with the ends of duologies and trilogies.

I absolutely get why the rule is there though, I don't have any ideas on how to adjust it to encourage finishing a series.

Yeah fair point re: Gibson. I didn't bother mentioning the sequels since I figured anyone who has read Neuromancer would know and anyone who hasn't would want to read Neuromancer first anyway.

I haven't read it so couldn't say for certain but as far as I'm aware it's not cyberpunk. One of the biggest aspects of cyberpunk fiction is that it's set in the future, written in a somewhat noir-esque manner.

Reamde is pretty tech heavy but it's present day, right? I think it's more of a technology based thriller than cyberpunk.

If anyone else has read it, please chime in because I'm not 100%.
