I just read Timescape by Gregory Benford. 3/5 stars, very good concept but I didn't care much for the execution. My review is available at the link below. #scifi #readmorebooks #bookreview

It's about TIME we went back, to stay - great cover.
Iโve finished โThe Moon and the Sunโ by Vonda McIntyre. Itโs fine, I gave it 3.5/5 stars. I find it strange that it won the Nebula award however. More detail at my review below. #bookreview #readmorebooks

I greatly enjoyed this episode of @hugohistory.bsky.social with guest @jpnudell.bsky.social. Their discussion on "Canticle for Leibowitz" was very interesting, as well as their talk on the nature and importance of science-fiction as a literary genre. #scifi

I presume that you are related to the author? Congratulations on his Nebula award for this novel!
