Second book of this trilogy, now... getting good, though I wish Jan hadn't ended up being the person he was... or was I just infatuated with his sword, Bright? (that sword is gorgeous.) Maybe Senacus will actually redeem himself? And Demian... I sort of liked him?

I'm only at the beginnings of this one, and already it looks like a really good fantasy epic; great world building, unique characters and powers, I can tell you that.

One of the most emotional books I've read this year. Shines a light on one of the worst times in fairly modern American history, that's for sure. but it's King's writing, through and through.

This book is a great effort in teaching a fun language, and even though I'm not actually planning on finishing, I give them five stars for effort. The issue, and it's the only issue I had with it is the format I got; all of the code examples are done via graphics, which isn't good for somebody who is visually impaired trying to learn.

This is an older edition of this book; I'm actually reading the 2020 edition, but haven't figured out how to update the info on here.

Well... if Alfredwas built off of rachel's memories... then that technically makes the AI her son, if you want to take it that far, and with Alfred being as human as he is right now, that's not far from the truth.

It's impossible to tell in today's insane society, and considering I did indeed love this book, but I still can't help thinking that the author sees conspiracies everywhere she turns. Her entire book's premise seems to be that technology is the issue that is plaguing our society, and that it could be mitigated by getting rid of all of our computers and returning to a pen-and-paper society. Society would still have it's problems, even then. Needless to say, I am going to read her other books. I still like her tone, in general.

Now you can see a bit of Jason's ruthlessness... though couldn't any protector of a city be considered the villain to every other city arrayed against them? I would say so... villain of hero, it's all dependent on which side you're on. though Jason's life hasn't been made easy by people in the real world, has it?

Right now this feels like I'm reading a treatise on why AI is bad... I feel that Dr. Wolf doesn't display a balanced view of the whole thing; to her, all tech is bad and we need to get back to a world where everything is done on paper. Tech isn't the problem. Big tech is the problem.
