Only 9 books this year, https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/40352124-mike?shelf=re... Highlights are: * Networks of New York by Ingrid Burrington - A fascinating look at the communications infrastructure in NYC, written as a field guide. Inspired me to make a website in the same style for Philadelphia. * Kitten Clone: The History of the Future at Bell Labs by Douglas Coupland - This is my first non-fiction Coupland book and it was nice to see his punchy writing translate to the topic. The chapter where he goes to the old facility in New Jersey is fantastic. There is a shorter, edited version of this part online, https://www.wired.com/2014/09/coupland-bell-labs/ * The Philip K. Dick Reader - My second time reading any Dick, this collection is amazing, lengthy, and inexpensive to pick up. You'll be up all night reading this and surprised how sci-fi from the '50s is so relevant today. |
