This was my fifth book for #SciFiMonth a memoir by Rod (The Twilight Zone) Serling's daughter. It was one of those books I wanted to turn around and immediately re-read. My city was Rod's hometown and this statue is only a few blocks from my house. www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

 The two nodded and left, but Syndac lingered. She watched as Solet picked up a datapad and began scrolling through a report. Finally he looked at her, giving his weary eyes as much steely command as he could muster.
 “Is there something else?”
 “Yes. You’re thinking of quitting.”
 “Wouldn’t you under the circumstances?”
 “I suppose. But think about what you are about to give up.”
 “Yeah. Our ship running out of fuel and being abandoned, and us not getting home. Or worse, running out of fuel and just being left behind by those other vultures we had to partner with. Remember, I agreed to this because it looked like a good deal. If this thing starts getting out of hand—”
 “Can it!” Syndac leaned forward and slammed both hands on the table as she glared into her captain’s face, her voice switching abruptly from snappish to formal. “I grow sick of your whining. Listen to me. We both knew what this trip might risk, we both did it for one reason and one reason only. Money. With the money we can get from this, we can finally dig ourselves up from this miserable pit of sick that stands in for a career. Sailing a junk around the Outer Worlds, picking up the dirty jobs no one wants to, taking duff deals because they’re the only deals we can take, being outrun and outshone by every other freighter in the whole Cluster!”
 “I don’t need that kind of talk from you.”

We're nearing the end of SciFi Month—how did November fly by so fast?? So it's time to share my favorite science fiction books of the year so far.

It's time for another Friday Fives post, in celebration of #scifimonth2025! Today's theme is Interesting Ways To Travel, and I've decided that time travel is super interesting, so I've found five recent books I've read that have time travel as a theme.

…but I’d love to draw attention to Terminal Boredom, a collection of stories by Izumi Suzuki. These felt fresh and relevant despite being >30 years old. The style and affect very distinct from most regular genre fare. #SciFiMonth #Booksky
The Book Terminal Boredom by Izumi Suzuki. The cover shows the author - a Japanese woman in her 20s/30s at the time of the photograph, with her hands sprawled across a flat surface, looking up at the camera, her face framed by a tangled volume of hair Inside cover of Terminal Boredom with the following text:

Seven punky and pitch-black stories offer English-language readers an overdue introduction to Izumi Suzuki, a cult figure in Japanese literature.
The fissures in a queer matriarchal utopia are exposed when a boy – a creature usually contained in ghettoised isolation – appears beneath young Yūko’s window; an extreme government initiative curbing overpopulation prompts a woman to re-evaluate her friendships; the last family in a desolate city learns to be human through the awkward appropriation of popular culture; passive-aggressive furniture provides unwelcome romantic advice; tense interplanetary politics distort Emma’s love life; Jane’s ex-girlfriend reappears, radically altered and insistent on a catch-up; Tokyo’s teenagers, disaffected and numb from excessive screen-time, find distraction in violence.
Suzuki’s singular slant on science fiction remains fresh and essential. Concerns about technology, gender and imperialism dovetail irresistibly with flights of speculative wonder. And with a kitchen sink in the corner of even her wildest stories, Suzuki reminds us that while technology may be limitless, relationships remain impossible.
