Asher
For completeness, I’ve read some more of Neal Asher’s short stories and novellas. I also got a couple more full-length novels of his for Christmas. I do this for you, people, not me. No, it’s not a habit. It’s cool. I feel… nevermind.
Africa Zero by Neal Asher.
Look, everyone is allowed a bad day, right? There are some interesting ideas on the future of humanity, population control and the roles that technology plays for both tucked inside, but after all is said and done, we should probably just bury this and never speak of it again.
2/5 gogs
The Engineer Reconditioned by Neal Asher.
A compilation of short stories, most of them previously published in obscure sci-fi zines. Some of it was pretty damn entertaining. Some take place in the Polity universe (these are definitely worth checking out), some don’t. Some just suck. I’d say 3.8/5 gogs for the good stuff, 1/5 gogs for the crappy ones.
