Five Book Friday: In Memoriam
(0 comment)
Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Reamde
by
Neal Stephenson
Arthur Fuller
, January 01, 2012
Not quite up to his masterpieces (Cryptonomicon and The Baroque Trilogy), Reamde is still a wonderful work of speculative fiction. The protagonist is first a draft dodger and then a smuggler of marijuana from B.C. the the USA, and then a co-founder of a giant software company whose principle creation is a massive internet game. As always, Mr. Stephenson astonishes the reader with his erudition and encyclopaedic knowledge of just about everything. Probably this needs no recommendation to readers of Stephenson's previous books; and for those new to this author, I would suggest beginning with "SnowCrash" rather than this one. Once hooked, you'll read them all.

Robopocalypse
by

Arthur Fuller
, September 20, 2011
As one well acquainted with s-f and also with the worlds of software development and artificial intelligence, I was enormously pleased to have found this book. It's full of action and very compelling, but the best thing about it, in my opinion, is the innovative narration. I like my s-f to be written with style, as in Neal Stephenson and William Gibson. Daniel H. Wilson belongs in this pantheon. I can hardly wait for his next book.
