Book Review: The Human Division by John Scalzi

Posted on July 12, 2013 1 Comment

The Human Division byJohn Scalzi Back when I first started getting into reading more sci-fi, John Scalzi’s Old Man’s War series was a great starting point. The books had just the right mix of space travel, aliens and futuristic technology, but were still light enough not to intimidate a relative newcomer to the genre. Now […]

Mogsy: A Book That Makes You Happy

Fuzzy Nation by John Scalzi John Scalzi’s books generally make me happy. I can always count on them to make me laugh (the man can write gruesome death scenes at the hands of merciless aliens and still make them heeeelarious) and they often end well. A re-imagining of H. Beam Piper’s Little Fuzzy, Scalzi’s Fuzzy […]

Ultimately, […]

Robopocalypse by Daniel H. Wilson Robots determine that humanity is obsolete and must be cleansed. This is simple and common science fiction concept and one I have most recently been dealing with in Mass Effect. I spent a lot of time relating things back to the Morning War and Starchild and, most importantly, to Harbinger. Hell, this […]
