Reading The Better Part of Valour by Tanya Huff. Book 2 of Confederation series. Life has been pretty busy lately, so this one is taking quite a while to finish.

What about all of you? Which books have you been reading or listening lately?

The Bicentennial Man and Other Stories by Isaac Asimov. One of the many collections of short stories that originally appeared in periodicals of the 1950's-1970's.

His exploration of an intuitive AGI through a misogynistic lens of the late 1960's in Feminine Intuition was interesting.

The story Waterclap, about the struggles of an engineer from Lunar City on the moon against the deep sea colony of Ocean-Deep with a tone of social commentary about conspiracy and lack of long term human planning were also interesting perspectives to ponder, especially when considering this was written in 1969.
