(1984) It's a collection of three interconnected novellas, about a failed revolution on Mars and what happens after, set in the 23rd-27th centuries. The “icehenge“ of the title is a megalithic structure on Pluto, which may have been constructed by Martian rebels, or by aliens ancient or recent, or something else. I quite liked the premise and the epistemological themes, but found it difficult to engage with the story.
As the red states compete to out-dumb each other, this is Arizona's latest contribution.
pickThis is really for the whole series, which is amazing and a must read for any fan of manga

My favorite children‘s book is Corduroy. I picked it as one of my 24 #AdventRecommends books.
@Andrew65 it‘s my favorite children‘s book AND my favorite Disney character. #Pluto
pickWhile it‘s a little on the shallow side occasionally in terms of details, this is a really good entry-level exploration of the New Horizons mission and its importance.

pick5 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 You know a series is great when book 2 is better than book one and this series is so freaking awesome . We go back to more of the seven robots being destroyed. We also get to see a little bit of the character Astro boy (he‘s actually called Atom, which is explained in the back). You could pick this up without having read book number one but number one makes it quite a bit better and gosh dang that I can‘t wait for book 3

This is a story of robots being killed and leaving no trace of the killer. Robots that look like robots and robots that look like humans. All are fair game. This book is part I Robot, Bladerunner, and Westworld, and I love everything about it. It falls between a cyberpunk and Techno Thriller, and it is thrilling. It‘s a dark mystery with no answer in book 1, so I need to hurry up and get book 2.
