Yeah, Monk & Robot is a litterary UFO. They are my fav’ books by her. As I’ve stated elsewhere: Ive read this duology twice, and I’m pretty sure I’ll reread them many many times in my future.

I consider her the founder of “Hope-punk”.

Yeah. I suggest this vid’ if you haven’t seen it yet:

An e-reader would solve that.

Have you read other books by her?

The optimism, the enthusiasm, I dunno, although I love paranoid-non-cosy-at-all fiction like PKD books, it scratches another itch. Reading her is soothing and comforting. Almost therapeutic. At least I know that during tough times I can open one of her books and teleport into a warmer place.

Ive only discovered her recently, and yeah me too enjoyed her other books a lot. I even read the duology Monk & Robot twice.

I might be mistaken, but I think she really brought something new to sci-fi.

Not sure I understand. Are you referring to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure (I haven’t read or watched it), or something else entirely?

Blender (FOSS 3D creation software) is quite impressive.

NB: a few years ago, I posted another short Blender movie which is a little masterpiece:

Wdym?

TY.

Will do.

Cool! TY. I’ll pick one of his short stories collection and see by myself. If it’s good Ill buy the other and then maybe contact him.

Clarkesworld has been doing an excellent job for years. It publishes a lot of great stories and regularly features translations of Chinese SF (notably), which is fantastic.

Unfortunately, the magazine is struggling financially. I hope more people will subscribe, especially since the subscription price is quite reasonable.

A long time ago, I tried reading a Scalzi’s novel (I don’t remember the title), but it just didn’t click with me. I found it rather bland.

Do someone think I should give him another chance? Especially since he’s also written a few short stories that I haven’t checked out yet. If they’re any good, I’d consider interviewing him.

I’m French, and I have heard multiple times of Jouvenel, but as a classical liberal thinker (On Power, his most famous book). Just did a small research and saw some of his book aren’t about political philosophy, one of them being titled The Art of Conjecture. Guess you’re thinking about this one. Would you say it’s worth reading?

That’s true, thanks. Modified it.

Cool, you’re welcome!

Another talented Nigerian writer. You can check the interviews of two other ones on SFSS (About section, others, #nigeria).

Ha!
