wfzimmerman’s review: “A beautiful book. I love the TOC which is laid out like a subway map. Unfortunately, at first glance, one problem is that transit maps of the world tend to be a lot like one another…” 
Karl Schroeder’s Ventus now a free CC download – Boing Boing Award-winning sf writer Karl Schroeder has just released his debut novel, Ventus under a Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial- NoDerivs license, meaning that you can download it, share it and copy it as much as you like. Excellent. What this book in particular needs, I think, is some annotation around the pages … collaborative world-building. Earlier this year, Nimble Books author Pepe Escobar released his GLOBALISTAN with a CC license.

Shaky Jake dies Sunday at the age of 82 – Latest from the Ann Arbor News – MLive.com Shaky Jake was perhaps Ann Arbor’s most recognizable resident, walking around town with his trademark dark sunglasses, hat and one-string guitar. First Bo, now this. End of an era! Pepe Escobar in the Asia Times demolishes the ‘al-Anbar myth’ being promoted on the American Right. He does so on the basis of an actual interview with the late Sattar Abu Rishah, on the basis of a close analysis of tribal alliances in al-Anbar, and on the basis of recent opinion polling that shows 92 percent of Sunni Arabs support attacks on US troops and 98 percent despise the al-Maliki government. The tragedy is that Escobar is right about everything he says, but that virtually no one in the Washington power or journalism elite will probably ever read his important piece. Some nonentity who wouldn’t know the Dulaim from the Jubour will declaim some nonsense at NRO, and that will be what the Repub staffers on the Hill believe, having fed the nonentity the warped info in the first place. Pepe’s new book, RED ZONE BLUES, will be available from Amazon and other online booksellers this week. wfzimmerman’s review: “Stirring tale of super-powered kid from [[The Incredibles]] – this book only tells one short part of the full movie story. Parker’s favorite character.” wfzimmerman’s review: “Parker absolutely loved this book, but it’s really slow going for the parent …” |

wfzimmerman’s review: “I received this book accidentally (I normally avoid anything by Strieber or about "alien possession" like the plague) but on flipping through was intrigued to notice that the book relies on a completely alternate history with five empires, the United States being the weakest. Oddly enough, the alternate history is mentioned nowhere on the dustjacket … stealth marketing!”
