A deeply unsettling addition to the series, bringing the connecting thread of food up to the forefront of the story.

Book Review: Babylonia by Constanza Casati
Imagining the life of a historical figure whose life has been imagined and reimagined far more than the actual historical facts about her: Semiramis.

First #blog for December is a #review of Lavanya Lakshminarayan's The Ten Percent Thief, which I'd picked up at WorldCon last year. It is a truly excellent satire of late stage capitalism and the idea of meritocracy (among other things). It's decentralised form brilliantly matches its substantive critique.
I had some minor critiques, but nothing to detract from the its overall excellence. I recommend this to everyone who enjoys #SF #cyberpunk or #dystopian fiction.

In The Defense, Nabokov’s language is, as always, rich, sharp, and full of vivid imagery and wordplay.
The characters, however, feel strangely soulless and do not inspire sympathy. It even seems that the author treats them with a kind of superiority bordering on contempt.

Book Review: The Wolf and His King by Finn Longman
Second person present tense is the sexiest way to tell a story.
A long and meaty review at the blog from @chloroform_tea today:

Ptown keeps surprising me, after all these years I spent so much time here. I came across CERALDI when I was just browsing dinner reservations and booked for 3 course dinner for tonight. It was an amazing experience!
It was fine dining but more fun! Our waiter was having fun explaining each course and wine. I could see the hot chef working in the kitchen and he smiled and waved at me 🥰 before we left.
They know where their ingredients come from, most of which from local farms on the Cape. The most local is the lobster from Ptown harbor. The flavor profile is very pleasant - not overly complicated or sophisticated but still gave me a little surprises here and there. I looked up the farm for the short rib that was in the ravioli and regretted it immediately - that farms raises Scottish Highland cows - like the cutest cow ever!
Anyway it was a great experience and next time we'll try their 7 course tasting menu!

Book Review: The Gryphon King by Sara Omer
A monster-filled secondary-world fantasy that takes its cues and worldbuilding inspirations from points east of the Bosporus Strait

It has been a while since I did my last #review of a #videogame , but I really enjoyed writing up my experience playing Terra Nil. It's a zen 'colony builder' with puzzle elements where you have to restore #nature .
It's a radically different take on many sim-type games, with strong #solarpunk vibes. It's relaxing, beautifully crafted and very wholesome to play, especially once you attract animals back to your ecosystem.

It's taken me some time to get my writing mojo back after the holidays, but I've finally managed the first #blog of the year. It's a #review of @pluralistic 's excellent The Internet Con.
I know I'm a book behind and #Enshittification is on my list, but The Internet Con remains an excellent manifesto, primer and polemic for anyone who wants to understand why the internet feels broken, and what we can do about it.
