I’m finding it harder to find good hard SF books to read.
One recent “find” was Charles Stross, a friend of Cory’s who he’s worked with.

I’m just going to put a list of books to look into here, possibly updating it over the next while.

• Charles Stross, “Saturn’s Children”
• John Varley, “Mammoth”

I guess this would be an ideal opportunity to use my Amazon Associates thingee, but I’d have to dig it up out of email. Ah well.
Here are Amazon.ca links:
Mammoth,
Saturn’s Children.
