Leaving_Marx started reading Cage of Souls by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Sequels
4 stars
Honestly the first book in this series was like Predators #1, a glorified war-action film with a larger anti-war and anti-authoritarian narrative. I enjoyed it but war is so vile that even a well written war novel is hard to focus on.
but this sequel, with the development of far-right politicians, aging, and uploaded consciences was fun. It all takes place on mars which is consistently a great setting for a sci-fi novel and probably boasted the my rating by 1/2 star alone.
if you are tchaikovsky pilled, read it. if no I got other books of his to recommend to you.
Leaving_Marx finished reading Bear Head (Dogs of War, #2) by Adrian Tchaikovsky
Leaving_Marx reviewed We Are Nothing and So Can You by Jasper Bernes
Revisited a great work
5 stars
revisited this collection of poetry which i have really enjoyed before. through some chaotic verse to narative proses, this one long poem has some awesomely quotable lines. followed below are a few:
"e.g., that each riot really is an assemblage of other riots washed up on the boulevards, From whose faded corpses one dresses and arms ones comrades the total inadequacy of which as equipment for the task at hand traces out in negative the seat perilous of the party historical"
"For those of us who lived through rebellion What remains is Monday, mostly, Monday in abundance."
"hiding on the shadow side of the moon waiting for the phosphorus to run out and cheering on our children as they shoot
bottle rockets at the drones."
