I get 12 Audible credits yearly in March. It‘s amazing I have any left.

Amazon: use 6 credits get $20.

I have huge book club picks & a new book in a series I love. YES!

I can only dream of having the luxury of time to read a book, 3/4 of my page count‘s absorbed via ears vs eyes. I don‘t audio shame. Anyway you can get an unabridged book into your imagination - 5⭐️!

Current treeware: Malice by John Gwynne. Seeya in 6 months for that review 😆

This was interesting, certainly a topic that many consider taboo, but really is one of the biggest issues when it comes to the issues with our planet‘s environment (the other one being consumerism... which, of course, is amplified with a larger world population). Have to admit, though, it took a long time for me to read; it did help that a good chunk of it at the end was references

Stand On Zanzibar | John Brunner
Pickpick

2010's world of 7 billion humans as seen from 1968.

This tour de force of world building combines broad strokes through media snapshots and a focus on a few characters. Much of John Brunner's vision has come true and much has not, and it's worth pondering what trends continued into the present confirming his predictions and what trends suffered discontinuities. 👎

rwmg It's in the relationships between the main characters and particularly between the main characters and their “shiggies“ that the difference between the prediction and the reality is most glaring but nevertheless, I am glad to have revisited this book because despite the gloomy atmosphere, it is fun. 4y

rwmg @the_Peniless_Author Oh, what part of Indonesia do you live in? If you've got snow, it must be somewhere in the mountains of Irian. 4y

“Everyone‘s got their own ideas and they push them and say to hell with everyone else. That's the history of the human race. It got us on top, only now it‘s pushing us off. [P]eople will put up with any kind of discomfort as long as it‘s always been that way. Try to get them to change and they fight you, even while they‘re dying, saying it was good enough for grandpa so it's good enough for me.”
