A bit confusing at times, but great Mieville read, way more story-focused, which helps for this basically detective/whodunit/hard-boiled cop book. As always, try imagining the world created here, and your head explodes.

…Amazing sci-fi, couldn’t put it down, one of the most imaginative and scary books I read in a few years.

Powerful book that gives you an overview of progressive and regressive economic theory and practices, ultimately pointing to hopeful future possibilities.
Absolutely wonderful, insightful book that gives you the shivers: it explains a lot about characteristics of fascism, what can Ben done about it, how not to normalise it.
Awesome collection of 40k stories touching on the topic of The Great Devourer, The Dragon, the Tyranids. Some stories are better than others, the Eldar tales were a bit tedious. But the insane perspective of a Tyranid Broodlord in ‘Shield of Baal: Deathstorm’ really hits the spot.

I’ve started reading this before and some familiarities with certain topics (tax evasion, shareholder capitalism, etc.) put me off reading it more. But the chapters on renewable/generous design, the history of well-known economical mechanisms, is keeping me interested. Don’t get me wrong, this is a wonderful book with a powerful message, definitely recommend, it shifts your view on basically everything around you.

Absolutely loved this stark, emotional struggle by a man and his son travelling by foot across a post-apocalyptic America. The man’s frustrations and hopelessness can be felt and the boy’s little mistakes and childlike imagination hurt to read. Also McCarthy’s strange poetry on nature and the world around the travellers really stick in your head (I had to look up SO many words).

I read ‘The Road’ after years of owning a copy (an awful movie picture one) and it really hit me (the ending was weirdly ‘positive’ for the boy,
I already said this, but once more for good measure: SUCH a strong book on the purpose of journalism, Dutch paternalism and obedience, why political games and journalism about those games contributes to civil frustration. Also, one of the many audio books I’m listening to, a great way to do your household chores :)
Great book! Speaks on moral obligations, the importance of doing right over feeling good, entrepreneurship for the common good. Made me think on what’s important in a job, which you spend a great part of your life doing, so you better make it count.
