"Even Ira’s own dark arts had been made superfluous. He ruefully admitted to himself that he had missed the devil in the details.

'Sam… I miss the incantations, the elegant curses, the risks to my soul. We’ve been supplanted by geeks and I’m afraid there’s no hope.'"

I picked up -The Left Hand of Dog- by @clacksee in the current StoryBundle HopePunk bundle and started reading it (and its prequel story, -Stardust Wake- which was free) last night. What a fun read. I am loving it & already got the rest of her books! I love how the AI has a figurative mode which allows so many references to just be made. Looking forward to seeing where this whole series (and the others!) go. You should definitely check these out!
