- Watching: Don't Look Up
- I like Iain M. Banks and I'm currently re-reading Look to Windward because in Red Plenty it was described it as an example of a 20th century Marxian idyll. It's good and all but I'm reading the Culture now as kind of all premised on Prometheanism / fully automated luxury communism. I'm gonna reread A Wizard of Earthsea (last read as a young teen!) by Ursula K. Le Guin next as in Half-Earth Socialism they describe that as Jennerite ecological scepticism and that is more my bag lately.
- I feel happy discovering more and more as I get older that sci-fi books I took off my Mum's bookshelf as a kid are in fact often allegorical for some kind of radical politics that I had no idea of at the time.
