Books I've read lately A small shelf of recent inputs. Fiction, memoir, language, memory, futures that feel too close, and prose I come back to after too much AI-generated slop.

Selected note
The Nanotech Succession Linda Nagata
Written between 1995 and 1998, but they read like they were published last year.
AI plays a major role, both similar to and stranger than what we know now. So do consciousness, artificial beings, centuries of history, planets, civilizations, species. Exactly my kind of book.
