has anyone read this? it's been awhile since i've bought a book, so was thinking of picking it up this week. i more or less know the story, i'll have to see if i like the writing style.
i've been thinking of getting into warhammer fiction too lately.
i wish i could buy things like mein kampf & the communist manifesto without getting put on a list. even that last sentence has attracted enough artificial intelligence to put me on one.
we need physical copies because all books will be burned one day and digital tablets we gaslight us. we will question the information and the very words themselves will transform & rearrange themselves to adapt to the narrative before we can even read it. the next several pages will always be changing before you even get to them. it's much like how in 1984 it's said that history is always rewritten, but this time it will be done preemptively in real-time.

I read it, i liked the concepts more than the book itself, however I read it when I was in a bad frame of mind so It probably needs a
re-appraisal
I read the difference engine by Gibson and Sterling, I enjoyed that alot

laurence of arabia find it rather hard to read these days feel like i have netflix glued right to my eyeballs where is cybernanny hiding my remote so i can have a thought of my own? luckily theres vinyl its:
like a bird soaring above planes, so vastly expanded views, enabling to focus on that very detail, way down on the ground.
circling steadily, leaping just gently, inside, line after line, devotedly find, that long lost solitude.
