On the Rise of Dystopian Science Fiction
I listened to Frankenstein on audiobook recently, as part of my dive into transhumanism for Simulacrum research, and it hit me suddenly one afternoon at work. Frankenstein is really kind of the first dystopian sci fi novel. It’s the first story in which misguided science/technology produces something evil that must be defeated.

2025 Naughty List
I usually try to keep it positive on here – being a thermostat and not a thermometer, recommending good stuff instead of ripping into bad stuff. (Or at least recommending more than I rip. I’ll admit I have fun ripping.) But, I often find myself in the position of standing in a bookshop, trying to… Read more

A Star Curiously Singing: A Review
I had an Amazon gift card, but I couldn’t decide what to buy with it. I had two older novels that I’d researched well and knew I’d probably like, but I wanted to mix up what I was reading. I’d had A Star Curiously Singing by Kerry Nietz on my TBR list for a long… Read more

Before I do a deep-dive into it, I’ll give you my general thoughts. I’d give Thunderbolts* around three-to-three-and-a-half stars out… Read more

In Memory of Charlie Kirk
I won’t speak long on this because so many people already have, and they can do it far better. But, I just want to say that all our prayers should be with his family right now, with his wife and kids and parents. As well, we should pray for TPUSA. Charlie filled some enormous shoes,… Read more

Why Do We See Things as Cool?
Every human can relate to the experience of ‘cool.’ I’m sure you’ve felt a thrill upon watching a perfectly-shot, perfectly-choreographed scene, or experienced delight when you’re introduced to a character with awesome abilities, an intruiging backstory, or a fascinating personality. Maybe in the course of your schooling, you hit upon something that made you want… Read more
