Pleased to see Wyndham’ still getting some love, as well as Priest‘s ‘Inverted World’ collecting some well deserved points. I confess I read the latter after I submitted my ratings, otherwise it would have been *very* high up on my own list! 🙂
Great video - nicely paced & informative, thank you 👍

Anyone else borrow this over and over from the library in the 80s? I was transfixed. 40 years later I've treated myself to a copy for old time's sake. Stableford later set 6 novels in this future history setting which I now have a full set of too. 🪐📚💙 #scifibooks #sciencefiction #bookcollecting

I'm half way in, making rapid progress. More xenobiology than I was anticipating, perhaps not surprising on reflection given the author's background as a botanist/biologist. I'm enjoying Dorthy Yoshida as a character and the glimpses given to the geopolitics of the prior century or three. 👍🪐📚💙
This next in actual book, 1988 debut novel from @unlikelyworlds.bsky.social. A Brazilian-inflected Federation has several planets and is fighting a war against a mysterious enemy. Dorthy Yoshida has been sent to investigate a mystery. 🪐📚💙 #scifibooks #sciencefiction #nowreading
