#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
I just bought that book and will be starting it tomorrow. I am finishing up The Eye of the World - Robert Jordan today. My wife loved it (she reads a lot faster than me).
I read through the first three books of the Wheel of Time, but couldn't make it further. I may try again at some point. Did you also love Eye of the World?
I really enjoyed The Eye of the World. I can't wait to start book 2. I have heard the series slows down considerably later on.But so far I love it.

#36Great science fiction book covering the topic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Diamond_Age Ideas from that book come up once a week in conversations.
I believe that, following VR, 'ractors' will be the next big thing for entertainment.
