About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

A Book Review

If you have ever gone to my
Twitter
feed;
you will see that I do book reviews on the website
I am thinking of putting my reviews directly here on my
Blog
the same day I do them on
Goodreads.
The latest book I did a review on is called;
Subtitle;
The Murderbot Diaries #1,
by
My
Goodreads
review reads like this.
"It has an original idea for the story and the plot was pretty good for the first installment of the series. I finally found a Sci-Fi book I enjoy."
I know.
It is short
and to the point.
Recently,
I have been going through a series of
Science Fiction
books that haven't captured my imagination.
No,
I am not going to name the authors.
I am not a believer in the
"Dark Future"
a lot of
Sci-Fi
writers of today predict for humanity.
I am a believer in the
 outlook.
Where humanity is not all bleak but has an optimistic future.
"All Systems Red"
doesn't proclaim a future where it is the haves
and the haves not,
but a future where man
and machine work side by side.
Man is not being replaced by technology.
So,
by bypassing the bleakness of a devastating future,
Martha Wells
can get right into her story.
Coming up with a protagonist
and an adversary without taking a lot of time explaining how her future world came about.

Reading The Second Installment Of The Series Called
"Artificial Condition,"

And,



“I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.”
- Ray Bradbury -


That is my story and I am sticking to it!
