“Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.” - Hanlon’s razor

One of my favourite sci-fi books of all time. I managed to have nothing spoiled and was stunned by the direction the book went in. Loved it.

One of my favourite games of all time. I forced my friend to sit and play it one night! I can’t wait for whatever they are doing next.

I’m really enjoying the Wool Trilogy my Hugh Howey. It’s maybe more dystopia than sci-fi but in the same vein for sure.
