Falko commented on Die Illusion der Vernunft
Bisher eher Grundsätzliches noch als Einführung. Mal sehen ob das noch spannender wird.

@escamoteur@social.tchncs.de welche Version hast Du gelesen? Ich hab jetzt die 3 Bände in Englisch durchgelesen. Und stimmt, die letzten beiden sind von jemand anderem Übersetzt worden. Ggf. liegt es auch daran.
Und ja, "Children of Time" und "Children of ruin" hab ich auch schon gelesen. Die waren auch beider sehr gut. Noch mehr von Adrian Tschaikowski hab ich noch nicht geschafft. Aber auf meiner Liste ;)

@escamoteur@social.tchncs.de ich fand 2 auch noch sehr gut und beim 3. zumindest den Mut das wirklich bis zum Ende zu denken. Aber stimmt schon, gegenüber dem ersten und dem 2. Band fällt der 3. etwas ab. Aber ich fands trotzdem gut :)

@burgermeister@astrum.social no, thats a standard feature of BookWyrm. It has a ActivityPub interface like every other Fediverse Software. When I do updates in BookWyrm, those create ActivityPub feed items. People following my account would see those in their feed. I'm following my BookWyrm account from my Mastodon Account and boosting the BookWyrm posts as I have more followers on Mastodon ;)

The historical facts of the Middle Ages and the Great Ravine prove that a totalitarian system is the greatest barrier to human progress. Starship Earth requires vibrant new ideas and innovation, and this can only be accomplished through the establishment of a society that fully respects freedom and individuality.”
— The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu (Remembrance of Earth's Past) (Page 441)
I'm a little surprised this passed Chinese editors ;)

He had been sent to the largest hospital in the city, where expert psychiatrists had been powerless to help him, although they had proposed a novel idea, which Luo Ji and the suburban officials helped carry out. As in Daudet’s “The Siege of Berlin,” or the old Golden-Age film Good Bye, Lenin!, why not fabricate a fictional environment in which humanity had failed?

Wow, a reference to a German movie.

“Bird flu?” Luo Ji said in alarm. “No. Bed flu. That’s what the media’s calling it. It started going around in a nearby city a week ago. It’s infectious, but symptoms are light. There’s no fever, just a runny nose, and some patients get a sore throat. There’s no need for medication, and it goes away on its own in three days or so after a little bed rest.”
— The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu (Remembrance of Earth's Past) (Page 231)
Oh oh... a flu
