Bridge by Lauren Beukes

 

I'd read another book by this author that seemed like a reasonably well-executed novel that just made some weird choices, especially around trying to mix genres that kinda argued with each other using sheer authorial force. This is ... not as well-executed as that one was, and in fact was really a struggle to get through, just because there were large parts of the novel that really weren't at all interesting, and they really didn't do anything to sustain my suspension of disbelief. Pretty basic multiverse crap with weird psychological layers and a wacky parasitic threat tossed in. Not a good novel, barely not bad enough to put aside.

Holy Men of the Electromagnetic Age by Raphael Cormack

  Started this little book in a coffee shop this morning, finished it this evening. It's a weird book, there's a veneer of scholarsh...
