Bookshelf (so far)

Had some requests for a top 25 favorite books. Started making it, but it was hard to keep on track; things naturally went off the rails. Here’s the list so far:

  • Surface Detail, Iain M. Banks, 2010
  • Virtual Realities, SR Sourcebook, 1991
  • How to Become a Really Good Pain in the Ass, Chris DiCarlo
  • Daemon, Daniel Suarez
  • Excession, Iain M. Banks
  • Code, Charles Petzold
  • Street Samurai Catalog, SR Sourcebook, 1989
  • Technology Matters, David E Nye, 1996
  • At Home in the Universe, Stuart Kaufmann
  • How We Became Posthuman, N. Katherine Hayles
  • The Landscape of History, JL Gaddis
  • Dependency Road, Dallas W. Smythe, 1981

There’s others I’ve referenced, but not in the context of the “bookshelf”. I”ll post them under the line, for reference purposes, and will make updates as necessary.

  • House of Chains, Erickson
  • Deadhouse Gates, Erickson
  • …and many more

Inception

Needed to find a place to collect my various social media posts, threads, and projects. TikTok’s built in features for curation aren’t quite enough, and there’s a need to bring them all together.

There’s a few copyright-related reasons too. TikTok is a little fast and loose, and I’m noticing a need to get the intentional content locked down before it’s mentioned there. So this will be the initial site for much of the media related content.

Finally, this will be the digital archive and repo for a lot of the posts and publications that I can bring together, and point to as it’s created and published on new platforms.

Baby steps, and a long time coming, but it’s starting to come together.
