The Deluge

Stephen Markley

The thing that appeals to me is that he really goes into detail…what’s the political economy, the social forces, the ecology of the future? And really tries to weave all those things together. It’s very nerdy, but if you like that kind of detail then it’s really engrossing.

@jonathanstray @metaphdor I'm about 25% into and enjoying Stephen Markley's "The Deluge" but it's possibly too close to reality to be called sci-fi

“‘Let Me Finish’ is a superficial and ungainly book that tries to cover so many bases at once... that reading it is like watching an octopus try to play the bagpipes.” First-class shade for @govchristie’s new book by @dwightgarner https://t.co/byKtnAWh8g
