This series has run its course

Revisado: 03-05-25

I got a few chuckles out of this third installment of the series, but otherwise failed to get invested in the story. By the end I was just glad its over.

Disappointing for pro-science skeptics

Revisado: 09-25-22

This book is mostly a left-wing political rant against Trump and white nationalism. While these are low hanging fruit and I agree with most of the conclusions in principle, it left out completely some conspiracies less convenient to her politics, including Monsanto, anti-nukes, anti-chem, Bush, and other conspiracy claims advanced by the left. There is also very little historical context provided in a systematic way. It ended up a tedious retelling of various anti-Trump tropes little of which was new or insightful.

The negative review doesn’t do this justice

Revisado: 08-20-22

The Singularity Trap is a run of the mill science fiction novel. It doesn’t stand out either as particularly great or especially bad. It kept my attention for several hours while on walks. If you’re a fan of Bobiverse, this one unlikely to disappoint.

Deeply imagined with wide scope

Revisado: 06-20-21

Deeply imaginative and perhaps just a little too much so that it was hard at times to follow characters and events. I wasn’t expecting the ending but given the scope it could have gone just about anywhere. I will queue it up again in a few months.

Lots of pseudo science

Revisado: 02-16-21

Talks like a doctor but lacking in credibility. Lots of pseudoscience and woo here. There’s probably some genuine advice here but hard to know where.

Inspiring and insightful

Revisado: 11-15-20

The first chapter was a long, tedious and depressing slog through a bunch of people’s lives during tragedy that I almost abandoned the book. Fortunately I did not. Coherent and gripping stories are developed throughout the book, and the final reflections are thoughtful without being preachy.

I feel like he wrote this just for me

Revisado: 09-23-19

The author hit on pretty much every mental limitation I have created for myself. Short and tight, worthy of several rereads.

Better than expected

Revisado: 05-11-19

As a non-security IT professional with broad knowledge of the industry, I was worried this would be a basic, amateur tutorial of IT concepts. I needn’t have worried. Instead it was an insider account of cyber crimes investigation and prosecution that covered hackers, espionage, and fake news. I learned a lot Recommended.

Audiobook hard to follow

Revisado: 09-02-18

I suspect the story was excellent, but I found the audiobook version very hard to follow. After several restarts I finally decided to plow through it. Having just finished it I have no idea how the story was resolved. I probably need to read the Kindle version first. That said, the reading performance was excellent.

I’ll be re-reading this one again

Revisado: 07-22-18

I’ll be re-reading this one again in the near future, as it provides a path that both makes intuitive sense and is backed by several strains of research. My only concern is the research: what are the sample sizes? How many variables did the measure to find correlations? It wasn’t always stated; nonetheless, the quality of the research is clearly higher than most other books on popular, self-help psychology.
