A full moon shone on Mac with all the gentleness of a searchlight. The breeze that stirred the grass was no longer the lightly perfumed breath of spring but the hot, bone-dry promise of summer.
If Blade Runner or cyberpunk games hooked you, dive deeper: Synners by Pat Cadigan, Neuromancer by William Gibson, and Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson. Neon heists, hacker minds, and a pizza-delivering swordsman await. All three expand upon the unique aesthetic and dystopia of the cyberpunk genre in different ways. 🤖 ⚡️ 💻

Laid-back in orbit, they found their minds.
They found their minds were very clean and clear.
Clear crystals in swarms outside were their fireflies and larks.
Larks they were in lift-off, swallows in soaring…

Folks, it is now about an hour away from #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party. If you want to avoid it, best set up a hashtag filter now.
If you'd like to join in, this week we're watching SOLARBABIES (1986) which is not, in spite of the name, a spinoff movie about the sun from Teletubbies. I'm still not entirely clear what it IS, even after reading the description, but it's not that.
The flick's available free with ads over on Tubi: https://tubitv.com/movies/466653/solarbabies
Or you can download from archive.org over here: https://archive.org/details/Solarbabies
Just hit play at the top of the hour and toot along. See you there!
THIS SUNDAY at 9pm Eastern (that's 1am Monday UTC) it's #MONSTERDON the weekly monster movie watch party! Come watch a goofy monster movie with the nerds of the fediverse!
This week we're watching SOLARBABIES (1986) in which ecoterrorists rule the future and some kids are apparently re-enacting E.T, but slightly dumber? I dunno, this is a weird one.

Titan Sciarra was striking, intelligent, and had a body she’d cross battle lines for, but he was also out of reach.

Finished The Language of Liars by S L Huang yesterday and wrote up thoughts on it here: https://stackofgoats.studio/blog/review-the-language-of-liars/
My verdict is that its a good book on its technical merits with a (IMO) terrible message that really undercut my enjoyment of the rest of the book.
@mwl has been writing stories that remind me of the Stainless steel rat series for a while and I just discovered them.
