Ben Harris-Roxas started reading The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming by David Wallace-Wells
I'm about 10% into this and I'm already wondering why I do this to myself. Climate fiction is always such a downer, appropriately.

Ben Harris-Roxas reviewed Beyond the Reach of Earth by Ken MacLeod
Loose ends tied up
4 stars
Not as engaging or imaginative as the first, it mostly served to tie up plot points and intrigue. I've begun the third book but in many ways it seems unneeded? Perhaps McLeod will explore new ideas in it.

The Unaccountability Machine by Dan Davies
Part-biography, part-political thriller, The Unaccountability Machine is a rousing exposé of how management failures lead organisations to make catastrophic errors.

Content warning Slight allusions to general plot directions
What a strange book to be reading when a close family member dies. An extended rumination on loss and grief, from many perspectives. I found it almost too much to pick up again.
But suddenly a shift. New worlds may be possible. An interesting book.
