What Fiction are you reading this week, September 26, 2021? [View all]
The time machine.
Reading The Ophiuchi Hotline by John Varley. Pronounced off-e-YOO-ki, a constellation that just missed fame by being a few degrees away from the zodiac. Invaders took over planet Earth so humans have dispersed to other planets in our solar system. Seemingly helpful messages are being transmitted from somewhere in deep space, but then it all gets weird. I'm only 30 pages in so just getting to know what life is like in the 25th century.
Had to get on a waiting list for more Murderbot stories so now I'm listening to Doomsday Book by Connie Willis. A student at Oxford University, in the year 2048, is about to be sent back in time to 1348, back to when they took a plague seriously.
