Left on Read: Blindsight (Again)
Added 2024-02-02 14:27:01 +0000 UTC*This is supposed to be January's second LOR and we're going to pull out the stops to make sure you get a second LOR this month as well. Sorry!*
ALSO: Audio issues stole the last five minutes of the episode, so we will try and see if Alice remembers her final thoughts on the book.
He did it again and nobody can stop him - Riley has made another episode about Peter Wattsโ hard sci-fi novel Blindsight, and he has made Alice read it too.

2024-02-07 09:39:24 +0000 UTCI wouldnโt call Iain M Banks hard sci fi per-se. The Culture books are more space operas with _themes_. Hard sci-fi to me is more like Kim Stanley Robinson, Liu Cixin etc, where they really go in on the โSCIโ part of Sci Fi.
