Just started reading “Killing the Dead — Vampire Epidemics from Mesopotamia to The New World”, by John Blair. Looks fascinating. 300 pages so it’ll take a while. The idea of the undead has been around for probably as long as we’ve had any awareness of our mortality. Mythologies, oral and written, are chock full of the undead. I’ll try to post snippets of this story as I go along. #bookstodon

#AI #SciFi #bookstodon

"In a year not so far from our own, society is run by the shepherds, a global AI system. The shepherds have controlled every aspect of Pok's twenty years of life-they decided what schools Pok went to, what jobs he was eligible for, what foods he ate, and even his medical care. He's content living a carefree life until his father is killed by a mysterious illness. Searching for answers, Pok decides to follow in his father's footsteps and travel to the very last hold-out city and train at the one…

Zumindest ist der Protagonist gerade so alt wie ich geworden, auch wenn ich dazu zweimal nachdenken musst. Der Plot klingt interessant. #büchernase #lesen #bookstodon

Wrote a chapter for the first time in a while. Work on the next book is slow, but I'm glad I took the time. Whatever you do that fulfills you, I hope everyone reading this is finding a little time for joy in between the chaos. #amwriting #bookstodon

Copyright / trademark question:
Why is it that an author can refer to a trademarked product in a book at their whim, but when that book gets adapted into a film or television show the product cannot be included without approval of the trademark owner?
Tagging #bookstodon because that might catch the attention of a writer or editor who knows the answer.

Where the Water Goes, by David Owen. Water in the US South West is way more fraught than elsewhere. Who “owns” it, who gets it, and why, have been contentious issues for over 150 years. Basically there’s not enough, but no one wants to cut back. Severe drought isn’…

Just finished reading the latest #SlowHorses novel, Clown Town. Man o man this is a nasty one. Lamb is pissed that his joes keep getting killed, and that Taverner is more or less responsible. Dunno if this one will ever be televised. #recommended
