we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

An especially beautiful display of the #aurora - the northern lights - was captured in #Borgarfjörður in West #Iceland on Monday evening. Jóhann Þór Hopkins took these images, and kindly shared them with #RÚV.

Wow, I’ve been raving about ‘Citizen Vince’ by @jesswalter.bsky.social since I read it a few years ago. As @hankphillippiryan.bsky.social says, it’s hard to press on people a recommendation that’s even more heartfelt than your usual hype. But this novel is something really special.
