Didn't bother to pronounce Tuscola corrctly.

Revisado: 05-27-22

This real town is a setting in this book. The author narrator and director didn't bother to look up the correct pronunciation of Tuscola. The emphasis is on 'Tusc'. There is a language pronunciation line that runs north and south and runs through Champaign. 'Per'u is another example. The book otherwise may be fine. A personal problem for me. And Stephenson is a great author.

Thorough investigation documentary

Revisado: 03-22-22

I thought this was another UFO book which it was only partially. The entire history of Area 51 and US spy planes like the U2 and Russia's response to them including the shootdown of Gary Powers in 1960. There were a total of 20 U2 flights over CCCP, Ms. Jacobson says. There are spooky evil things about Area 51 and Roswell here as well. If you don't care about the Potsdam Conference, keep reading. It is all here in excruciating detail. alien bodies retrieved from Roswell are covered. She quotes posthumously the reporter who wrote the first and second stories for the San Francisco Chronicler about crashed disk retrieved and his retraction 3 hours later. In a letter he wrote before his death in 1992 he says the second report was false. She has some theories about events that are still wild. Her theories are well researched to the extent these things can be well researched. She has given me an idea about hovering. I shall now go in the garage and get out my saw. Pass the balsa wood.

A little more information

Revisado: 02-06-22

The author cites only government sources but really has dug up a little bit more about cases we are already familiar with. Just a little more. This is the best description of the 1976 Iranian 'ufo dogfight' that I have read. This is done mostly without letting his personal opinions overshadow the data he has extracted via FOIA requests.

Big fat ...

zero, had I the option. They should pay you to read this. Buy the book by J Alan Hynek. This one is not very good.

If there were only a single book

Revisado: 11-17-21

...you could read that exposed thetopic , this would be the book. Hynek and Project Bluebook plated it as straight as they and he could. He was a trusted source. Read the damn book.

Not Neuromancer. But what is?

Revisado: 09-05-20

Bit of lazy editing. Silicon is not Silicone. Other than that the problem is with me. Writing the same song again. If I can't find a character that I care about I lose interest.

There were two guys who wrote a program back in the day that would produce eventually EVERY piece of possible music. On this basis they wanted to copyright all songs not yet copy written. They lost their case of course. The question is:

Does anyone have a unique idea?

I admire Michael Jordan. He did it all. And then came back and did it again. And then retired.

This is starting to feel like Dan Brown. .

Mustread.

Revisado: 03-29-20

Not promotional.. The facts of the life of a man who just wants to change the planet. And will not give up. No interviews with Musk. It is a life story that may or may not end on Mars. In an interview NOT contained in this book, Musk was asked if he would be willing to live on Mars. He said Yes, of course. He was asked if he would go to Mars if he knew it was a one-way trip. He thought about it and responded that that would make him the first person to be born on one planet and die on another. He would be willing to die on mars, as long as it was not on impact.

Wicked smart. The man and the book.

Without the wit of either. You got you Greys, your Others. All the standard tropes.

A classic for the ages.

No better writer in the genre. And Chandler's finest and most carwdully crafted work. Masterful.
