- codq 6y ago'Exhalation' is a revelation, and reminded me how good fiction could be. The first story in the collection, 'The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate', instantly rose to the top of my all time favorite short stories.
- jelliclesfarm 6y agoConcur. That’s the kind of writing that makes me want to sit down and write myself.
- enan 6y agoYeah that was my favorite as well. And the one about perfect recall memory (remem) was perfect too. He's so good at examining all human implications of a single technological idea. And the prose is quite remarkable for sci-fi.
- ArtWomb 6y agoAh thanks for reminding me about the Bob Iger memoir! Caught an interview with him on Bloomberg last night and he was remarkably cool and confident given the current uncertainty about the future of theme parks ;)
