I would recommend this book to anyone who has ever worked in IT. Especially, executives and managers.
Also, to anyone who has parents that are incompetent mosters (Incompemonsters TM) and need YOU to fix THEIR problems 😂

One of my favorites. Coupeland's best, IMO.

I would definitely try some inspirational sci-fi westerns. Sounds like Firefly to me 😁

@NickEast @reading @geekstuff @sciencefiction @bookstodon @nyrath "Inspirational science fiction western" would appear to be Deep Space Nine.

At least based on the writers' descriptions of how they made the station a frontier town in space.

Celebrating a paradoxical 11/10 rating of my story The Last Philosopher by Spookyspackles on RoyalRoad 🥳
But who knows what could have been if I had only given 120% instead of the standard 110% 😂

Anyway, the story is free to read, links can be found on my profile, thanks and sorry 😁

Big D - 11/10 review by Spookyspackles on The Last Philosopher. The story has got some very strong Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy vibes. If you don't know that series, but like some well written, cosmic ludicrousy, this book definitely has the potential to fit the bill. The MC's 'nickname' is definitely used for some subtle tongue-in-cheek humour, and there's some clever plays throughout the rest of the chapter that make it a treat to read. And while the narrator is weaving in the comedy, they are also weaving in a ton of worldbuilding. There are some tense shifts within the first chapter (potentially intentional), but otherwise, the flow, spelling, and grammar are peachy. Overall, the author humanizes the furthest from a human thing you can probably think of, and does it well. Excited to see Richard's quest come through!

    That's a complicated question best not asked unless you're sure you have the time 😂

    I The Road to Somewhere.
    It tries to explain the rise of populisim perticluarly in
    While I don't agree with everything in the book, it is pretty interesting.
    It works hard to avoid blaming the affluent (and never saying rich like it's a four letter word).
    But even while not saying the quite part out loud, it implies that both rich liberals and conservative are leaving the young and the poor behind. Which historically has not had the best results.
