Journal GameboyRMH's Journal: Wired's Summer 2012 Sci-Fi & Fantasy books 1
Wired's book recommendations have been harshly criticized by many Slashdotters in Mcgrew's journal before as "not really geeky." The opening paragraphs of today's list contain the words "buzz-worthy" and "latest trends," but read on - there are very geek-relevant books in there this time:
Summer School for Geeks: 11 New Sci-Fi and Fantasy Books
Especially geek-relevant is the Newsflesh trilogy, possibly the first hard sci-fi zombie apocalypse story. Finally you don't have to settle for "viruses did it with virus magic" and "the ragtag team of survivors made it to the quarantine camp and lived happily ever after in a world infested with zombies. The End. ^_^ " I have to add that to my reading list, I've been craving a hard sci-fi zombie apocalypse for sooo long.
Maybe they read the JE? (Score:2)
All of this year's list looks good. I think I'll hit the library this weekend and see what they have. Red Shirts looks particularly good.
