Fiction, mostly: - Reamde, by Neal Stephenson. What a let down, very formulaic. - Vortex, by Robert Charles Wilson (sequel to Spin and Axis). Spin is a must-read, Vortex was quite pleasant and brings a satisfying closure to the series. - Permanence, by Karl Schroeder (re-read). Lots of awesome…
on “Ask HN: Books you read in 2016?” ↗Spin/Axis/Vortex by Robert Charles Wilson. The first one (Spin) has fantastic ideas, fast pace, and lovable characters. I found Axis fairly boring. Just started with Vortex.
