CW: #Reading in Week Seventeen of 2025 | April 21–27 | ~900 words | #AmReading | #BokBooks
●●◐○○ Prominent Author - Philip K. Dick (ss) 1954
A bureaucrat at a research center gets a Jiffi-scuttler (a teleportation ring) to test on his daily commute, before it goes into wide release. He turns out to be a terrible tester, so bad he makes history.●○○○○ For Sale, Reasonable - Elisabeth Mann Borgese (ss) 1959
In a time when computer brains are getting so advanced that they refuse to do dull work, and often go on strike, an educated human sends a company a letter offering his own services, showing all the ways he'd be a better choice.●●●○○ Seven Surrenders - Ada Palmer {Terra Ignota 2} (nov) 2017
Complex narrative of the seven days that led to the fall of Earth's 2454 system of government, leading to whatever emerges in the next book. Institutions fall, people die, secrets are revealed, people learn about themselves and others.Not as good as the previous book, because I feel the author chickened out. It's a matter of having a too-powerful character: the story should end before it begins, given what they can do. So you have to artificially restrain them. Or, when you realize you don't know what to do with them, remove them from the story altogether.
●◐○○○ Welcome, Martians - S.A. Lombino (ss) 1952
The first spaceship from Earth lands on Mars¹ and the crew finds humans live there. People who celebrate them for returning from the first mission to Earth. Turns out both worlds sent out expeditions at once. Oh, and the crews had different names, but looked identical.●●◐○○ Little Boy - Jerome Bixby (ss) 1954
When the bombs dropped on Manhattan, many died. Most survivors fled. But some were driven mad, and some were unlucky, so there were still people there, fighting for life on the abandoned island. One was Steven, who was five when normal life stopped six years ago. We follow his life for a day, and end on a happier note.●○○○○ Life - Daniel Arenson (ss) 2015
A private SETI group sent out a rover to Kepler-62e², and the first picture arrived at night, when only Eliana was on duty. She looked at the picture of the alien, and collapsed, catatonic, only saying "So ugly" over and over.A dozen other researchers looked at the monitor as they arrived, and all of them reacted identically.³ Finally a psychologist is called in. He manages to sneak a look at the image, and we see the collapse from the inside.
●●●○○ The Artifact - David Collins {Artifact 1} (nov) 2024
Can you go wrong with the "present-day human finds ancient alien spaceship" trope? Not really. Why the USA, Russia, and China would go along with this very-recent college graduate, providing four people for his crew, while he and his friends were the first four, seems odd.⁴The ship's AI needs a crew so it can deal with other people, and not be seen as rogue (which it is, having vastly and illegally increased its capabilities while stuck on the Moon for 2300 years). They visit what turns out to be a pirate's waystation, salvage platinum from a wreck, and become involved with a dangerous princess. Decent action adventure.
●●○○○ Brainchild - Henry Slesar (ss) 2019
Ron Carver, 32, wakes up in a twelve-year-old's body – not even his own – and has to find out what's going on. Again, the background to this story is utter crap⁵, and the story is not super original. But if you ignore the setting and rewrite the tale competently in your mind, you can imagine it's only half bad.●●●○○ The Crucible - ML Maki {Fighting Tomcats 11} (nov) 2024
#AltHist where a US naval group from 1990 ended up in World War Two. A dozen-plus books in (there was a side-series), pilot Samantha Carter is acting as the Admiral commanding the invasion fleet taking control of Italy while D-Day is ongoing in France. Mussolini is captured, and King Emmanuel rules Rome again (though he'll likely step aside, being tainted by fascism).There's lots of military jargon, and too many characters to keep track of, but I enjoy the series for the sociological bits of modern women (and non-white and non-straight 1990s characters) dealing with the 1940s.
━━━━━━━━━━━━
[1] With a cannon mounted on their ship, but without knowing if the atmosphere was breathable. Which it was, in yet another case where an author has a scene or idea they want to write about, and just pastes on some vaguely #SciFi stuff to sell it to a magazine.[2] But the background of the tale is present-day, right down to a character driving a beat-up old Corolla. Again, sci-fi slop plastered on an idea the author liked.
[3] The stupidity of this annoys me. Everyone collapses, and everyone says "So ugly"? No individual variation? Appallingly dumb.
[4] But I admit the Catch 22. If we wasted time dealing with governments acting as they really would, it would be annoying. If we have governments being super helpful and accommodating, it's unrealistic.
[5] A 2019 story depicting a 1950s society, which has people travelling not just to other planets, or other stars, but to other galaxies. Mind-bogglingly stupid.

#Clippy
Bell'idea! Grazie per la condivisione. Speriamo parta l'iniziativa.
L'iniziativa della "bandiera clippy" mi piace un po' meno (personalmente). Di recente io vorrei promuovere l'allevamento di tarme anti-bandiera! Le bandiere ci portano a violenza (in politica, nello sport, sui social, nella vita sociale)e non emergono più le persone migliori ma ideologie😢
Quindi, modestamente, aggiungo la mia proposta: #Clippy #Flagmoth
Alle volte le piccole cose....

Probably will have to track this movie down later on, guessing since it's on the festival circuit now, no international distribution yet or streaming. Even more reasons to be a #movies hoarder. #FilmPreservation

One of the ways fascists maintain control is not by explicit laws, but fear of reprisals.
The administration has been going after law firms that dare to oppose them.
Just one of the many ways we moving away from rule of law and into tyranny.

#OTD in 1954, four Puerto Rican nationalists opened fire on the House of Representatives while unfurling a Puerto Rican flag. One of them, Lolita Lebrón, stated during her arrest “I did not come to kill anyone, I came to die for Puerto Rico!”; true to her word, no Representatives died, and all four received a hero’s welcome upon their eventual return to Puerto Rico two decades later.
