Style a bit archaic. Very dark. Tech and nuclear war. Man struggling to find his place in a dead world.

Not my cup of tea. One more patriarchal world killer book. Plus I don’t care much for sad sack ‘heroes’.

Back to comfort reading: John Sandford’s Judgement Prey.

And next up library hold. Cory Doctorow’s The Bezzle. I read a couple of his lately and enjoyed his prose and ‘far thinking’.
