Terminal Lance Lucky Lee Savage likes his life. Sure, doing PT hungover is a pain, but no one can dodge responsibility like he can - or sweet-talk the cooks into giving out double rations.

The Aliens and the virus they brought to earth will rock your world view. As we await the official announcement that aliens are already here, this story is a proposal of what could happen. Dystopia never seemed so nice. Calamari anyone?

Historia
In the far future, humankind has made contact with numerous other species - and has helped to form the ConSentiency to govern between the species. After suffering under a tyrannous pure democracy that had the power to create laws so fast that no thought could be given to the effects, the sentients of the galaxy found a need for the Bureau of Sabotage (BuSab) to slow the wheels of government, thereby preventing it from legislating recklessly.

Reality as an illusion or is it ?
Revisado: 08-22-24
Previously unknown to me, this Frank Herbert novel embeds him further my own personal pantheon of authors.
I struggled, the characters did, to understand the plot, characters and bureaucracy!
If you push through to understanding, you’ll be rewarded with a great twist and reveal at the end. Don’t give up. There is a prize inside.

A great coming of age story. Combining many classic sword and sorcery elements with new twists.
Revisado: 08-19-24
Over the three stories the rise of Alexander from 15 year old farm boy to battle hardened King seemed to be the classic story. The plot and the devices that made the story flow was not unique. The treatment of the girls transition into women of power and leadership was the best new add to the canon of these stories. Good story for your commute.

Historia
Twenty-five years ago, Neil Howe and the late William Strauss dazzled the world with a provocative new theory of American history. Looking back at the last 500 years, they’d uncovered a distinct pattern: modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting roughly 80 to 100 years, the length of a long human life, with each cycle composed of four eras—or “turnings”—that always arrive in the same order and each last about 25 years. The last of these eras—the fourth turning—was always the most perilous, a period of civic upheaval and national mobilization.

The scope and scale is impressive. The cycles that take a lifetime to see once are a master stroke of historic significance.
Revisado: 06-18-24
If everyone could come to see themselves as a part of the flow of history, I believe that the world would be better served. Thinking long term, inter-generationally provides a serious way to approach living your life. I have always felt that I missed the American High of the late 40’s through early 60’s. I find it somewhat comforting that should I survive the coming crisis, I may live through another version of spring.

Engineer as HERO !!!
Revisado: 04-15-24
Terry Pratchett has steam rolled Disc World with a fantastical and farcical tour de force with a talilway discovery that will make you oscillate with laughter.
As an Engineer I find Pratchett ridiculous, hilarious and subtly subversive. It’s all good fun.

Deep knowledge the world of Tolkien.
Revisado: 04-02-24
Much of what is discussed in the early sections is destroyed in the later sections. It builds a deep and through grasp of the mythic and fictional world that Tolkien supposes is a predecessor to our own.

Eye opening to me that there is so much hidden risk beneath the surface Artificial Intelligence and its many applications.
Revisado: 03-20-24
The risks are high and so are the benefits of AI. Suleyman lays out his vision of avoiding the worst of the consequences of AI while gaining the best possible results for the greatest number of people. I hope his new work at Microsoft AI will inspire him apply his proposals from a position of leadership.

Historia
In late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed an object soaring through our inner solar system, moving so quickly that it could only have come from another star. Avi Loeb, Harvard’s top astronomer, showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and left no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization.

Great Explanation of “It moved against Gravity” theory
Revisado: 08-16-21
Though it was not equation based the explanation offered was clear. Lien clearly compared and contrasted the movement of the one versus the many.
I am not sure about the assumptions that drive his statistical predictions that his estimates of counts of random objects in space make this one so rare. Statistics of this nature can easily be twisted to fit the desired answer.
“And yet it moved against Gravity” is the best part. He really could have just stuck with this. The background of his family forebears and his children were not necessarily needed. I and my wife felt it was too much.
Good explanation and courageously stated by the Good Doctor to put his legacy on the line based on the sentence “And yet it moved against Gravity”
I wish the race Good Luck in finding life off planet. I am of two minds. I hope we find unintelligent life first. Technically powerful aliens who have survived to journey amongst the stars are probably not the best first contact we could hope for.
