Thrilling and terrifying

It’s a great book about mental health struggles and overcoming them

I’m just very impressed with this book

I like the book, it is funny and I enjoy reading Dav Pilkey books

Runciman tries to work a large amount of information into a tight book. He charts a unique comparison of the 'intelligence' function of states, corporations, and the implications of AI. Much of what he says is an argument against the ideas of centralized 'intelligence.' He discusses in some detail the implication on copyright and intellectual property from AI and mostly frames the deleterious effects of AI usage and development from a left-wing lens.

Like another book in this series on which he collaborated with another author, this lacks the humor and quirkiness of his other novels. It’s well written and an interesting story, but not quite as entertaining.

This book kept popping into my radar as an Indie Next pick for July 2025 and I read about it via The NY Times. I don’t often go for nonfiction memoir/biography but my interest piqued at this tale of a couple surviving adrift for four months after their yacht capsized. It’s a wild story and worth a read. I listen to the short audiobook on Spotify.

It was a very detailed and amazing book with lots of twists and turns awaiting you around every bend.

4.5??

Keeper of the Lost Cities is an INCREDIBLE fantasy series. It has a complex plot with many interesting twists and complicated characters. I have reread the series multiple times and it never gets old. I HIGHLY recommend it to anyone that loves fantasy.
