hypnos: October 2013
http://markmonday.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 21, 2013. Tribe wipes out tribe in Rwanda, Nigeria, elsewhere. entire villages are mysteriously decimated in Peru, Algeria, elsewhere. neighbors slaughter neighbors in the former Yugoslavia and elsewhere. in Canada, the residents of the small town of Ravenna decide to massacre the residents of the equally small town of Collingwood. the first victims that we see: a mother caring for her sick child. Can there ever really be a reason for such things? It is hard to imagine that reason. But I'...

Monday, 31 August 2015. Lagoon / Nnedi Okorafor. 4 out of 5 stars. At its heart a story about humanity at the crossroads between the past, present, and future, Lagoon touches on political and philosophical issues in the rich tradition of the very best science fiction, and ultimately asks us to consider the things that bind us together – and the things that make us human. War of the Worlds. Meets Arthur C. Clarke’s. Childhood’s End,. All taking place in modern Nigeria. Or the devolved English of. Another ...

The Periodic Table of Elephants: Book Review: "Alan Turing: The Enigma"
http://periodictableofelephants.blogspot.com/2015/02/book-review-alan-turing-enigma.html
Book reviews, science talk, science-fiction chat and general geekiness. Wednesday, 4 February 2015. Book Review: "Alan Turing: The Enigma". I feel that I should also say that I did enjoy the movie. As far as movies go it was entertaining and also a bit educational. But I guess going into this book I expected a bit more continuity. Cumberbatch's Turing is not. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Book Review: 'In the Heart of the Sea: The Tragedy of the Whaleship Essex' by Nathaniel Philbrick. But it also goes on to talk about the aftereffects of the tragedy and how the survivors went on living. A great read that taught me a lot about the whaling industry with a lot about ocean survival. Recommended to all fans of those two...

Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are. ”. 7:42 pm 16 July 2014. It’s been a lot of years since I missed my bus stop because I was so absorbed in a book. Now that I take the bus to work every day, I mostly use that time to read, except when I’m playing. Or observing my fellow passengers. The author cleverly provides a backstory about each of the six addicts, including the events that led to their arrival on the island. They are troubled people and certainly not very likabl...

Book reviews, science talk, science-fiction chat and general geekiness. Wednesday, 23 April 2014. Someone's taking the Piss. In the early morning of the 16th of April a teenager from Portland in the U.S. drunkenly peed into one of the city's drinking water reservoirs. The trouble is that he did it in front of a security camera and this footage has gone public. The city's solution: drain and dump 145 million litres of drinkable water. Lets do some quick calculations. Tuesday, 15 April 2014. Of course Theo...

Book reviews, science talk, science-fiction chat and general geekiness. Wednesday, 26 February 2014. The Oldest Rocks on Earth. Zircon crystals are brilliant for radioactive dating because of two reasons. Firstly they're tough, they last a long time and can withstand an amount of tectonic pressures. Secondly, and most importantly, they form with radioactive uranium in their structures AND they do not form with lead in their structures. Why is this significant? Each radioactive decay happens at its own ra...
