About 45 seconds with some crayons and ended up in the park for 4 hours following the treasure map, from the pizza restaurant at the bottom right all the way to the buried treasure. No, you just reread treasure island

"... cops, corpos, criminals. The three Cs of asshole." (Ian Green, Extremophile, www.ianthegreen.com/extremophile) Fear is the basis of every legal system. So, I'm with Eleanor. #booksky 💙📚👀

Cover of Extremophile by Ian Green.

Fear is the basis of every legal system. The legal systems of countries are made by and for the benefit of those in power—the rich, those who exploit and subdue others. It's not about justice. The word “justice” is merely used as a façade; it is marketing in a capitalist world.

So, I'm with Eleanor.

Finished Extremophile by the amazing @ianthegreen.bsky.social. Not sure what else I can say other than it was a joy to read and now I’m looking up his other books. It’s like the antithesis of solarpunk, a sidestep from cyberpunk and a celebration of a dying Earth.

A well read (well once anyway) copy of Extremophile by Ian Green and a watercolour fly bookmark on top.

It’s a bit battered as it’s been in a bag and satchel and side bag and back pocket

Lego club at the library for the big lad, and me and the wee lad found this- EXTREMOPHILE! Biopunk eco-terrorism from the best band ever. Nothing more punk than a library. Should I write another climate collapse cyberpunk book? Should it have a bit more body horror? 🤔

I am often uncomfortable with the weight given to world building where I feel like it's really set dressing for plot and character. Building the fantastical can be wild and fun but it's real people living in it that make it work.

Today I have a review up at @nerdsofafeather.bsky.social of M. John Harrison's The End of Everything. It is interesting and strange and a book I would emphatically label as "resistant" to a bunch of normal features of fiction, one which yearns to be dissected, interpreted and discussed.

FORTUNE'S WAKE by @clclarkwrites.com is a joy of a book. A breakneck novella of old-school sword and sorcery, intricately thoughtful worldbuilding, propulsive plotting, and achingly adroit characterisation. It is doing about twenty clever things, but never letting that get in the way. Get it! 💗

Hey all, not to sound sinister or anything but I AM MAKING A LIST. So if you're a reviewer/author who might be interested in my novella BEASTS OF THE WILD BLACK (I mean, it's space cats? But also serious SF) then dm me an email to pass on to my publisher. (More book dets in alt text)

Yes, it's cats* in mechs in space shooting stuff. But its also about trauma and the ethics of uplift and just wtf are we doing with our planet. I mean, they fly a ship called the Thunberg, so you can probably take an educated guess at what angle I'm coming to this from.
