You Need To Watch Dynamo Dream
The first episode of Dynamo came out yesterday and it had not really been on my radar. I saw footage of CGI being worked on for this, but I didn’t know it was for this title. There’s a scene where the main character walks onto a lift and is brought down a few levels which had been all over my Youtube quite some time ago, so you may recognize that scene as well.
Little did I know that it was f

My favourite book so far. Great pacing, shakes setting up a heck of a lot while doing world building. The chapters are from the Roci crew members, all of which added a lot to the characters. Avasarala and Bobby were around more. Action packed. Tighte

| This might have been more successful for me than Fingersmith, which I enjoyed, but I’d seen the film adaptation first, and preferred the changes to the source material. Knowing nothing about this, the first little bit had me a bit slow off the mark. ...more | |

| There are sections of this I enjoyed very much, and it is undoubtedly inventive and stylish. But it also vacillates to pretty long sections I found fairly boring. This is probably a byproduct of dual authors, or perhaps their being enamoured with asp ...more | |

| Way more tight than Dark Matter, which feels like it blows its load as soon as the final twist is revealed. This structure and the series of complications per timeline is immensely more interesting. Tight pacing, lots of suspense, and a cinematic qua ...more | |

“The finest thing in the world is knowing how to belong to oneself.
Michel de Montaigne”
― The Dark Before Dawn
Michel de Montaigne”
― The Dark Before Dawn
“The personal, as everyone’s so fucking fond of saying, is political. So if some idiot politician, some power player, tries to execute policies that harm you or those you care about, take it personally. Get angry. The Machinery of Justice will not serve you here – it is slow and cold, and it is theirs, hardware and soft-. Only the little people suffer at the hands of Justice; the creatures of power slide from under it with a wink and a grin. If you want justice, you will have to claw it from them. Make it personal. Do as much damage as you can. Get your message across. That way, you stand a better chance of being taken seriously next time. Of being considered dangerous. And make no mistake about this: being taken seriously, being considered dangerous marks the difference - the only difference in their eyes - between players and little people. Players they will make deals with. Little people they liquidate. And time and again they cream your liquidation, your displacement, your torture and brutal execution with the ultimate insult that it’s just business, it’s politics, it’s the way of the world, it’s a tough life and that it’s nothing personal. Well, fuck them. Make it personal.

“And so Ikne walked away from his idyll and got a job sharpshooting for the Perambuco guerrillas in Salvador. It wasn't an easy life, and one day he got shot in the stomach by a lead bullet. The bullet fell in love with him, of course, but she couldn't stop the slow bleed of his gastric cavity into his pancreas, and she felt terrible, which was too bad, since he'd known all along what would happen.
He died; he always said he would.
Someone had to take out the bullet.”

“Balot was gripped by the Doctor's words, not even nodding now. Choice--right. She felt the two words spinning around like hands on a clock, then snapping into position together. A magic moment. Magic that would transport Balot to a different place. In the interior workings of choice and right a number of complicated cogs spun together. The doctor was one of those cogs.”

“Anger didn't do it justice. It was rage and hurt and grief and something hot enough, brutal enough to melt a man's conscience. Whatever damage I was fighting, he knew his own demons and saw them when he looked at me.
I'd never felt so close to him as I did in that moment.
And I never wanted to beat his head against the table so much.”
― Necrotech
