I am planning on reading this book soon. Expect a review from me very soon!

All of the stories really connected to me because they all deal with subjects of science fiction I am incredibly interested in. They deeply explore the human condition in unique and interesting ways and expand my thinking in ways that I enjoy reading tremendously.

Despite being a translation of the Chinese author's short stories, one can very clearly see the writing style of the author through the text. It is an intensely gripping style that has a lot of technical language, yet still paints a vivid picture in the mind of a person. I like this style a lot, and will look for other books in this style of writing.

This is a book that I heard someone talk about, and that I am planning on reading for myself in the future, due to how interesting it sounds and the similarities between me and the person who talked about the book.

It's pretty good. I'm familiar with the author's past work and I loved reading it. The characters in this book are pretty realistic and are easy to relate with, and Next herself is a pretty intriguing protagonist herself. This is a book everyone should read, if only for the world-building and general humor of it, which is both extremely effective and does not overstay it's welcome. A very ten out of ten book, and I look forward to reading the othe

In Lather and Nothing Else, the barber is conflicted on whether he should kill the person he is currently shaving, Captain Torres, who is opposed to the barber ideologically as the barber works for the resistance, and Captain Torres, who goes out and hunts down members of the resistance to torture and publicly execute. The barber even knew some of the people he had personally killed, which makes his decision to either kill or spare harder than bef

Pretty good for a second book, very easily reminds readers of what happened in the last one. However, the current plot developments seem to go by too quickly, and important sections of the text are easily missed in my reading.
