  • It was just A LOT of reading, but it was The Big Book of Cyberpunk by Jared Shurin. It was a whopping 1000 pages of double paragraphed pages, so 2 columns of writing. It covered a a bunch of different “topics” while covering stories from the beginning (60s?) to when it was written. The topics included “Self”, “culture” “post human”, among a few others that I can’t recall right now.

    It made me realize, as much as I love Scifi, I don’t like cyberpunk, I need “Space” in my stories.

    I did actually finish last week! I would a few stories every few weeks while reading my other material. I loved it for the concept and history of Cyberpunk, but as mentioned, the stories were meh, but that’s a me thing. Great book otherwise.

    Dune was dry in a few places and took me longer than usual to read, but part of that was just digesting everything, really technical reading, really slows you down.

    Edit, oh wow, I checked my phone, and I bought it Oct 26/24. So took me just about a year to read it! It’s a beast.
