Book: Learning the world
Apr. 10th, 2012 05:54 pmAuthor: Ken MacLeod
Details: (c) Ken MacLeod 2005; Pub Orbit 2007; ISBN 978-1-84149-344-2
Verdict: Learning the world is absolutely delightful.
Reasons for reading it: I very much enjoyed MacLeod's Fall Revolution sequence, and first contact books are one of my favourite sub-genres.
How it came into my hands: One of those financially painful but fun trips to the big Waterstones in Birmingham.
( detailed review )
Apart from that, though, LtW is just the kind of thing SF is for, and a very enjoyable read!
