Last I checked, it was out of print, so I bought Unfathomable instead (reimplementation in the Lovecraft universe). Still good, but missing pilots, so not as good :).

The only one I really remember is Trogdor, but in order to keep it in my heart, I am a proud owner of Trogdor!!: The Boardgame

Depending on the complexity, there’s also abbrev-mode: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Abbrevs.html

There’s a fork of Openboard that is trying to update it, but AFAIK, it’s not published anywhere yet: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard

I immediately thought of House of Leaves. Do not read it as an ebook, if there even is an ebook version. It must be read as a physical book.

I never really thought of it as science fiction (see her MaddAdam series for something more SF-y), but I love the book and think it does a great job of extrapolating from various political trends into where parts of the “western world” could end up going.

I’m also not surprised it’s a candidate for being banned, either from people who think it paints religion or conservativsm in a negative light, or people who think it might make anyone under 18 uncomfortable. Is it appropriate for 5 year olds? Probably not. 16 year olds? Seems reasonable to me.

I think “bad” would be the wrong word. I usually describe it as “weird”. And it feels a bit smushed together somehow: lots of different things that don’t really fit that well together, in my opinion.

It may well be worth reading, but as the first entry on a list of best science fiction and fantasy, it feels out of place to me.

I’ve read schockingly few of the ones on the list, and from what I know, I feel torn. Some I’m happy to see: NK Jemisin is a great author, and although I haven’t read Exhaltation by Ted Chiang, everything I’ve read of his has been incredible.

On the other hand, seeing Perdidio Street Station as the first entry really threw me for a loop. The book is totally fine, but it is extremely weird, and I definitely don’t see it as a must-read.

Edit: typo

I watched a few slightly older shows recently: Killjoys, which I really couldn’t get into, and now Dark Matter. I’m finding it a bit cliched, but I like it so far.
