I want 'Reamde' as a Netflix series. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 1 point 3 years ago (1 child) Just finished Reamde recently. Anyone know if the sequel, Fall, is worth reading? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 3 points 3 years ago It's not a sequel; it's a stand alone using one character. It reads like two novels jammed together. One is about a massive 'fake news' story that lives on decades after it's debunked, and the other is about a computer simulation/afterlife. Not his best, imho. permalink fedilink source parent [–] csfirecracker@lemmyf.uk 3 points 3 years ago Seveneves is good, Anathem is my favourite by him. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Raisin8659@monyet.cc 2 points 3 years ago (2 children) Seveneves Sounds exciting! Thx. A catastrophic event renders the earth a ticking time bomb. In a feverish race against the inevitable, nations around the globe band together to devise an ambitious plan to ensure the survival of humanity far beyond our atmosphere, in outer space. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Moghul@lemmy.world 3 points 3 years ago I didn't give a description of the plot because I couldn't come up with something that really conveyed what the book was like. The one you gave is decent, but it doesn't convey just how much of it is about the people. It's hard scifi, no nonsense, but the heart and soul of it is its characters. permalink fedilink source parent [+] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 2 points 3 years ago* (last edited 5 months ago) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent
