The curse of the missing half star strikes again. Calling this book a three would be a disservice, but it's not quite entertaining enough to be a full four.
A Creative Commons novel freely available at Manybooks.net as well as the authour's own site and traditional formats, it's a trippy examination...

What did you have for breakfast three Mondays ago? Was it raining that day? Can you remember?

Looking for a new author, found this gem in the SciFi section of B&N. After reading the 1st page, was completely hooked. This is the sequel to a previous book titled Signal To Noise. If you are looking for scifi that is completely outside the realm of standard scifi, if you think scifi is just about robots...

My wife recommended I read Heads, written by Greg Bear. A short book, with only 151 pages, I could hardly refuse. Bear paints a future where colonies on the Earth, Moon and Mars all have family ran corporations. Heads focuses on a Moon based corporation, the BM Sandoval company.
The story switches...
Perhaps I should say why I have read this book in the first place: Rudy Rucker is a mathematician, a set theorist to be precise, and this book, his opera prima, was written around a central theme: infinity. To write fiction trying to convey Cantor's theory of transfinite numbers is no minor feat, and that...

I've read a few of Womack's dystopian future/DryCo books. The very first one I read, Random Acts of Senseless Violence, was an amazing 5 star romp (williamt review). But Terraplane is the least of this bunch.
Terraplane is put at an immediate disadvantage: people in the future are somewhat...

Last weekend I stumbled across a number of public domain sci-fi books on Amazon. Fritz Leiber had several titles available, with this one being one the more provocatively titled. (I thought it was going to be some sort of sci-fi Nazi thing.) As it turned out, the story (a novella of about 90 pages or so)...
