@herr_naphta its not just that. all our productive and scientific knowledge to feed, clothe, healthcare, ourselves is based around capitalist division of labor, processes, and 'for profit' coordination. its not just tradeoffs, but not knowing how to survive otherwise.

@saintsoftness this cover is bad by pulpy standards too lol. but keep in mind gene wolfe is taking corny/pulpy scifi tropes and transforming them into something more interesting, i feel if the cover its too 'high brow' litfic style it might not be appropriate

@tomidispenser bet it was a cool nightmare

@TheLincoln ai is just a tool. ai used by someone without writing skills and a sense of taste developed through reading literature is going to produce junk, but ai can also be used by 'real writers'

@oh_tuntun the sense of scale is pretty incredible, it's definitely one of the novels that makes me think of the diminutive scale of the individual

@TheeAuthoress its interesting how "i feel like having a cigarrete" makes the discourse go nuts smh

[omar @omarcicada]

@PetreSolheim @d4rt44 @sorenmau in the story it makes sense. it's just more profitable and easier for the 'capitalists' in urras to give the anarchists the moon. they'd do stuff like that irl

@tomidispenser a hint is where the western academic obsessed with fashy? writers beats up a pakistani driver. i don't think the race is coincidence

[omar @omarcicada]

@tomidispenser it actually makes sense to me. a thread is how the charmed life of these western academics is hitched to a more primal evil that can be traced to the violence of the periphery and that had as one of its origins nazi germany. also 2666 is a goat
