Whatcha Reading?

This one?

I like their slogan:
Because life’s too short for a book you’re not in the mood for.

This. This man. One of the good ones.

So, was “The 2,000 Year Old Man” a prediction?

For my b-day rain-check celebration, my brother bought me 3 books: “As It Turns Out: Thinking About Edie and Andy”, by Edie’s oldest sibling, Alice Sedgwick Wohl; “Demon Seed”, a rewrite of the original published in 1973 by Dean Koontz, who hated the original book and wrote an afterword explaining why he rewrote it; and, “The Haunting of Hill House”, by Shirley Jackson.

I finished off E&A, working on DS. The latter is even more terrifying than it would be due to the evolution of AI since 1973, not to mention hardware and software. SPOILER: The heroine doesn’t have sockets in the back of her neck so she can physically plug into the system, as she did in the original novel - and that really scared me!

Forgot to add that "The Ice Storm: by Rick Moody was also part of my present. I wasn’t even aware the book existed! Ang Lee did a great job of adapting it to the screen.

Archive link for people who have “used your last free article this month” (I don’t even remember when I was last on Wired, but that might be the effect the last couple of weeks had on me):
