The stars are legion6/6/2023 Since one of them has recently lost her memory for the umpteenth time, she can’t help you understand how things work, because she either can’t remember or is having muscle memory make things work for her without any understanding. There’s just the story, told chapter by chapter from the point of view of two of the central characters. There’s no omniscient narrator describing the scene for you to imagine. There’s no tedious opening explaining the origin of the Legion, as the collection of planets are known. They shoot at each other with cephalopod guns… Guns that shoot out cephalopods. Hurley’s story is set on living planets, a group of living planets so close together that characters get from one to another by some kind of semi-sentient space bike. “The Stars are Legion” fits firmly into the second category of Sci Fi. The other type of Sci-Fi can be summed up by this picture from Onyxcarmine of Deviantart This is how it works.” The characters in the story don’t stop to explain exactly how their ship travels faster than light, I mean, with diagrams and equations and so on, but they do drop the crucial explanations that help the story make sense.* The first type takes you by the hand and says “Here’s a different world. But there’s another view – there are only TWO types of Sci-fi. There are many sub-genres of Sci-Fi military sci-fi, Cyberpunk, post-apocalyptic, dystopian and so on and so on. Sword point by harold coyle6/6/2023 Nancy Kozak, the Army's first female combat officer, who is about to find out what men have long known: war is extremely confusing and thoroughly interesting. Scott Dixon, heads with his troops for southern Texas, unhappily aware that he is about to take part in a war that can bring only pain and embarrassment to his country. The only American who seems to have the faintest idea of what's going on is TV reporter Jan Fields, whose good fortune has placed her in Mexico City at the time of the coup. The US, caught once again without useful intelligence, fails to understand the nature of the revolution and falls victim to manipulation by the druglords, who create chaos with terrorist acts on the border. The poor and the middle class love the new cleanliness the druglords and the paid-for police hate it. The Council of Thirteen, as they call themselves, speedily and rather brutally set about carving the rot from the Mexican political and governmental structure. Thirteen army officers, fed up with decades of corruption and bungling under the ruling Revolutionary Party, have decapitated the Mexican government with one well-placed presidential plane crash. Hypothetical-war specialist Coyle (Bright Star, 1990 Sword Point, 1988) takes his recurring cast of characters to the Mexican border, where a coup d`Çtat to the south and the usual political bungling to the north make armed conflict inevitable. Trick mirror jia6/6/2023 “She is the only writer I’ve read who can incorporate meme-speak into her prose without losing face.” The New York Times Book Review called “Trick Mirror” a “a cri de coeur from a writer who has been forced to revise her youthful belief in American institutions.” Tolentino “writes with an inimitable mix of force, lyricism and internet-honed humor,” reviewer Maggie Doherty wrote. “I have felt so many times that the choice of this era is to be destroyed or to morally compromise ourselves in order to be functional - to be wrecked, or to be functional for reasons that contribute to the wreck,” Tolentino writes in one essay. Woven through many of Tolentino’s essays is a recognition of just how hard it is to opt out of capitalism now that it is easier than ever to participate in it. She also writes about religion, scammer culture and feminism in the post-#MeToo era. Tolentino, who is a staff writer at The New Yorker, has been called a “millennial Susan Sontag.” Her cultural criticism draws heavily on the internet and the myriad ways it shapes our lives in “Trick Mirror,” she considers not only how the rise of social media has affected our identities, but also how it has ramped up the pressure women feel to present “ideal” versions of themselves on these platforms.
