This is both an excellent piece of fan-fiction as well as a wonderful treatise on The Methods Of Rationality. Eliezer Yudkowsky is simply brilliant, funny and eloquent.

A thought provoking work on humanity

Theodore Sturgeon at his best. What is humanity and how will it evolve? Written in the early 50s, this story is much less race and gender biased than many others written at this time. While the author projects his moral and ethical values, he shows a thoughtful and considered view of what might be and manages to spin a remarkably entertaining tale at the same time.

Informative Australian focused guide

Fantastic continuation of Binti

Another wonderful novella carrying on the story of Binti and her journey of discovery. Fresh with a hint of sand, salty water and the depths of space. This story is good enough to read on its own but you'll 7nderstand a bit more of the back story if you read Binti first.

Informative and educational

The author explains the difference in attitude between successful investors and the rest of us. It requires learning a bit a little bravery and some action but the author manages to 8mpart this knowledge in a way that sounds achievable.

A brilliant, highly original sci-fi novella.

A beautiful story that examines and celebrates both what makes us unique and what makes us the same . This is a very short story but t packs some brilliant punches!

Quirky, fun and non conformist.

I thoroughly enjoyed this quirky novella. It certainly doesn't conform to the usual story structure... Its strange and quirky, more of a wndow into Auri's backstory...or should that be ftont story? But that suits it. I fell (even more) in love with Auri and her story. If you like fantasy and you like quirky, then I think you will fall in love with it too.

A highly relevant story, despite its age. An excellent read.

A highly relevant story, despite its age, about the dangers of technocracy. An excellent read. I don't want to give any spoilers, so I won't go into details but it does highlight the deviousness of humans even in an environment of total control.

The story is creative and very easy to read. and it will be very interesting to see how the author matures into this series. Like fine whiskey and good wine, I believe writers only get better over time - which means exciting times ahead.

This is M.L.Lockwood's first book. It is self published and perhaps self edited. So minor editing errors are forgivable.

An amazing, sometimes disturbing read with rather novel insights into the possible direction of “AI” - Although I don't think he was looking at it as AI in our current sense.

The first three books tend to be a tad hard core but worth it. The fourth is less so, with the author exploring the idea of highly advanced alien entities that straddle multiple dimensions and how they might appear gods. Wetware was my favorite by far.

A fascinating insight into both the life of Henrietta Lacks and her HeLa cells which have contributed so much to modern medicine.

Doesn't read as well as some of his more famous works. However it is an excellent story and one that I think will stand the test of time.

Fascinating insight into the great designers mind

A rather well written and fascinating description of life in high fashion from the pen of one of the greats. I do not know if Dior had a ghost writer assist, but this text is eminently readable.

Invaluable

I want to improve how well I write. This book has been a guide, an education, and remained entertaining. Invaluable.

Fascinating insights into the world of real world data

The author by no ,Evans limits himself to data sets from OKCupid. Rather he draws from a rich pool with sources from Google, Facebook etc. Well worth reading.

Informative

This book was short, to the point and informative. I found the writing style made it easy to comprehend and helped inspire me to think a little bigger.

A great read.

A highly entertaining, fast paced quest story. Iain M Banks manages to juggle some impressive ideas with a pumping story that has stood the test of time.

Not a bad read for a sci-fi franchise book. Rather entertaining.

Loved it. A classic Victorian Gothic Horror.

I've been a fan of Charles de Lint for many years and he has not failed me. “Under My Skin” is an engaging, easy to read story. His unique fusion of shamanistic mythology and the contemporary urbane doesn't seem to grow old. He extrapolates into new intriguing areas drawing the reader into the adventure.

I loved this collection of short stories. It included some of my favorite Philip K Dick yarns. I was struck by how original and lateral he could be while remaining engaging and ahead of his time.
