Good to finally read this modern classic. A bit confusing at times but you could see why it has been so influential. Came away thinking that it would make an excellent film.

Blends together Homer, Shakespeare’s ‘Tempest’ and contemporary sf tropes in a mind-bendingly interesting way. Good stuff, but probably for fans of the genre only.

(One of the benefits of being stuck in bed is the chance to catch up on some reading! I’ve even recovered from being 18 months behind on my TLS.)

Awesomely good – intellectually intriguing and creative, extremely well-written and absorbing, and, last but not least, I’d recommend to any philosophy students wanting to know what ‘reification’ means.
With a h/t to Mike Bursell who recommended it to me.
