Simulacron-3: Infinity and Eternity
I recently read a fascinating little book called Simulacron-3. It’s a sci-fi from the sixties, and it’s kind of the first major work of fiction to explore the idea of simulated worlds. Downstream from it are all of our more modern things like Tron, The Matrix, Ready Player One, Snow Crash, and so on. And… Read more

Happy Independence Day 2026!
To all of my USA readers, Happy Independence Day! If you’ve been following the news – news from a conservative perspective – you’ll know that there were several stories about foreign tourists discovering and really enjoying things we regularly take for granted, like hot dogs, air conditioning, or Buc-ee’s. It’s been highlighting a fact we… Read more

The Song of Albion: A Review
I did not value this series properly when I read it the first time. I wasn’t mature enough to fully understand the first book when I read it originally. But it was entertaining enough, so I bought the second book. By that time, my mind started making the connections with mythology, and then at the… Read more

Books to Read This Memorial Day
Happy Memorial Day, ya’ll! I hope you’re able to get some good quality time in with your family this weekend. At the same time, don’t forget what this day means. Our military, first responders, and homeland defenders get a lot of disrespect, because our country has forgotten what was sacrificed so that we can live… Read more

Character Interview with the Cast of Simulacrum
I’m going to mix it up today, because I am uninspired on the nonfiction front. So, taking inspiration from Sarah Burns of the much-missed Sarcastic Elf blog, I shall do a character interview with the three POV characters from my work-in-progress, Simulacrum. For the sake of avoiding spoilers, it will take place before the events… Read more

Project Hail Mary Movie Review: Altruism and Sacrifice
Well, I didn’t think I’d be able to see this movie until it was available to rent. But praise the Lord, I was able to watch it in theaters for my birthday, and thus am able to deliver my analysis, as requested by Miss Runyan, while it is still relevant. Overall, I’d give this movie… Read more

The Martian: A Review
If you like realistic hard sci-fi, (and can put up with a lot of cursing,) then you should definitely check out Andy Weir’s novel The Martian. (Yes, I totally planned this to coincide with the Project Hail Mary movie. Totally…) Six days ago, astronaut Mark Watney became one of the first people to walk on… Read more

Tenet: Surrender to Fate
I really enjoy Christopher Nolan movies (those I’ve seen.) Inception is my all-time favorite standalone movie, and I love the deep themes and fascinating situations of Interstellar and The Prestige. A movie automatically earns points in my mind if it made me think. After all, those movies are getting harder and harder to come by… Read more

The Winter King: A Review
Don’t worry — I was a little wary at first of this book’s mention of a ‘god’,’ but trust me, there is a fantastic, Christian conclusion to this fantasy novel with themes of magic, family, and challenging deception and despotism. A village trapped in winter, a tyrannical god, and a girl who will do anything… Read more
