Really enjoyed my second #roll100 read for March! A scarily prescient dystopian novel worth an eclectic bunch of characters. Short, far paced, and lots of interesting thoughts on phones, connectedness, robots, nanotechnology and corpocracy.

#doublespin done - I struggled with this - it felt way too long and every time I thought we were reaching a conclusion some other twist happened which just left me confused and bored. Which is a shame cos I really enjoyed the forest in this trilogy, and they‘ve just gotten progressively worse. Hey ho!

TheAromaofBooks Great progress!! 1mo

#HyggeHour #AuldLangSpine

Thought I could read this during the game, but it requires intense concentration. Giving myself an hour to really get immersed. I think the plot is picking up and hopefully I‘ll start to understand more of what‘s going on as I become more invested.

CSeydel Update: well, I read one paragraph before I was lassoed to help with homework. While I was helping with homework, kid 2 reported that all the rain last week had caused a major leak in his room that he hadn‘t noticed until now, so I spent the next hour blow drying books and setting up fans to try to dry out the carpet 😩😖 2mo
AllDebooks Oh no. Reschedule for tonight x 2mo
Chrissyreadit ugh!!! I hope everything is dry now 🩵 2mo
CSeydel @AllDebooks I like the way you think! @Chrissyreadit I hope so too! I haven‘t been out there yet today. (His “room” is a little out-building behind our house). 2mo

First published in 1988, this third book in the Sprawl trilogy brings the threads of the earlier books together, blending familiar characters with newcomers like Kumiko, the daughter of a yakuza boss; Slick Henry, a compulsive artist dealing with the long-term effects of incarceration; and Mona, a teenager caught in a vast and deadly plot. A fascinating and complex world of AI and corporate power, visionary and intricately imagined.

I am posting one book per day from my extensive, and ever growing, TBR shelves. Some are old and some are new, some were gifts and some I don't remember why I bought them.

#HyggeHour

Today is certainly the perfect day for #hygge — I‘m in Southern California in the path of the “atmospheric river” bringing major storms. Rain and more rain! All day the phone has been buzzing with weather alerts, flood warnings and advisories to stay off the freeways.

I‘m in my new LLBean flannel pajamas that I got for Christmas 😍 and sipping candy cane green tea. And not thinking about how we‘re going to get to school tomorrow…

TheBookHippie Oy. I‘m glad you‘re safe and dry for now! I totally get the getting to school safely. 2mo
CSeydel @TheBookHippie The university is going online tomorrow - I don‘t know why the high schools don‘t do that also! My daughter‘s school always floods! 2mo

I have no idea what this book is about. So many gibberish words that I can‘t follow it, so I‘m bailing.

This is definitely the weakest of the trilogy and kind of a disappointing ending. I liked the setting, the new tech, and the overall story, but everything else was a let down comparatively. 2 separate plots mashed into one book, lots of casual misogyny (fridging is the whole basis for this book), an unoriginal religious angle, and an underused double sleeve. It feels like all my complaints in the first 2 books were dumped into this one. 3/5 ⭐️
