Glass House by Charles Stross

I love the sci-fi lore in this book as a loose sequel to accelerando, I love the world building, I think Stross still played a little loose with the consistency of his technological world, but the characters are much deeper and better defined than Accelerando which is great. 

Accelerando by Charlie Stross

On this my third read thru i’m struck by how good the futurology is, how much it shares in common with Rajaniemi, and of course how paper-thin and silly the characters are.

Apollo 11 (2019)

Hey what if we take all this documentary footage of the moon landing mission and put it together into a coherent story with a soundtrack and no extra commentary but then what if we make it like super, super stylish?

Don’t Look Now (1973)

Insane and hard to watch movie with good actors and sort of bad acting, and such a weird concept. 

The Causal Angel by Hannu Rajaniemi

A worthy conclusion to the "hard sci-fi" series by this Finnish phenom, I put that in quotes because I think the glorious world-building is actually more poetic than self-consistent, so sometimes the story feels a bit calvinball, but nevertheless it's great writing, great reading, highly recommended.
