I bought IT, but I haven't started yet. It's super long and I don't want it to interfere with NaNoWriMo.

He hosts a podcast called Revolutions about, fittingly, historical Revolutions. This book is a follow-up to his podcast series about the history of Rome called The History Of Rome.
So while this title continues his very literal naming convention, it does have a little poetic rhythm --- ICON: Well! There it is! ... Copied to Clipboard!

The author was Lithuanian and didn't have really anything else translated. Close enough

recently read a couple of really good monster short stories for Halloween(ish)
The Lamentation of Their Women (Kai Ashante Wilson) - I don't agree with the politics of this one but it was fantastically written https://www.tor.com/2017/08/24/the-lamentation-of-their-women/ These Deathless Bones (Cassandra Khaw) https://www.tor.com/2017/07/26/these-deathless-bones/ in the backlog: - still need to get/read The Stone Sky - got a few library books on call that I'm saving for Thanksgiving vacation - The Boy on the Bridge (M.R. Carey), Strange the Dreamer (Laini Taylor), The Wolf Road (Beth Lewis). wanted to get Bacigalupi's Tool of War but couldn't find it anywhere --- You put your RESOLVE HAT back on, which conveniently is the same hat as your NORMAL HAT. {Drakeryn} ...

- still need to get/read The Stone Sky you recommended this series to me and i have literally no one to discuss it with :( reading life 3.0, an exploration of the future of AI. i really want to grind and understand the mathematical ideas behind neurons and machine learning, but it's all in footnotes, sadly, and i'd rather plow through the book to get onto other stuff. need to start the trial by kafka (maybe saturday? seems like a one-day project) my hold on new york 2140 expires today, so i need to pick it up. have to finish it in 2 weeks and it's like 600 pages! --- yet all sailors of all sorts are more or less capricious and unreliable - they live in the varying outer weather, and they inhale its fickleness ...

Oh right! That came out around my birthday. That feels forever ago.
I still think it's crazy that there's a Jeff VanderMeer movie coming out, and the trailer is currently showing in theatres. Before B8 was my internet home, I spent my time in the comments section on Jeff VanderMeer's blog. --- ICON: Well! There it is! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Man I recognize Coates's name but from exactly where I'm drawing a blank from
This does remind me that I am looking for something new to pick up! Kinda looking for something that's cyberpunkish in setting but any good sci-fi from the last couple years would probably be good, I've picked up on the foundations of the genre but haven't really kept up with any of the newer stuff --- Warning: I'm literally VeryInsane. ...

you could read the short stories I linked!! (though neither is cyberpunk)
also Borne is post-apocalyptic sci-fi --- another place and time, without a great divide, and we could be flying deadly high ... Copied to Clipboard!

Out of those it definitely sounds like the Atlantic article!
And I'd look into those short stories at some point this weekend, preferably when I don't mind staring at a computer screen for a long time --- Warning: I'm literally VeryInsane. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If you're taking suggestions, I enjoyed Mr. Splitfoot by Samantha Hunt and The Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead.
