If you are a fan of the other Hunger games books, this book takes place before the first book, when the leader of Panam (Coriolanus) is just a young boy ready to attend university.

The book gives you a good idea into Corio's mind and helps explain how he to to thinking the way he does, and also reveals some interesting history from the first books and how they 'came to be'.

An enjoyable book, though I found i could easily put it down, which made it take longer to get through it.

Excellent story! One of the interesting features is how the heros use the government/U.N. to help bring light to the fae world. Found this a refreshing and utopian view for our society.

I came across this book from booktuber Fit2BRead while preparing for my upcoming podcast on time travel and was not disappointed! youtu.be/_Z_sqEHGzUQ?t=533

Reminiscent of the OG "the time machine" by HG wells, Matt Fuller follows a similar path using more modern ideas, and technology. There are a few paragraphs coincidentally almost identical to the Mr G. Interview I recorded before I even started reading it.

I really enjoyed this book, but it was hard to find the time to keep reading it, too many projects on my list. However, the comedy is the best stress reliever, and the whole setup of this book was amazing. In the end I would summarize it with Avenue 5 meets Futurama meets Voyager.

QBQ is the story of personal accountability. If you have the chance I highly recommend listening to this on audio. John Miller talks himself, and really brings his words and his story to life. My favorite story is when he is on a plane and someone next to him asks what he does for a living!

Mr Miller and I chatted once on twitter, it was the first time I had a conversation with one of my hero authors, it was awesome. He is a really nice, down to earth guy to talk with.

One day in early 2018, I was sitting at my office desk thinking about revising the name of my website, I had a strong desire to share some of the wisdom I had learned over the years, but I wasn't sure what to call it. Someone popped into my office with a question, and after I answered they thanked me and told me telling me that they appreciated my 'geek wisdom'. So I thought, that sounds like a cool website name, I wonder if anyone has that domain. I looked up geekwisdom.org and did some google searches and came across this book. A book of geeky quotes and deeper meanings, kind of which I thought of it myself. A really good read!

I first found the goal many years ago, so long in fact it was on a compact disc (CD) audio file. I loved the book and have been hooked on the Theory of Constraints ever since!

Adeena really brings together a great fictional tale here about 'AI', and Robots. The character of Ruby is well portrayed hero figure who slowly learns to grapple with her fear of 'AI' though an unexpected series of events. The storyline is easy to follow, and has some fun technical references (eg: blockchain as a religion!), but not too technical, just the right amount! 100% recommend to anyone who likes Sci Fi books and robots!

It was a very good book, part of my renewed commitment to reading (the first of that commitment). The book winds around in a lot of different story lines finally (sort of) putting everything together in the end. It is very similar to Douglas Adams usual writing style.

I particularly enjoy the old school mention of Macintosh computers and synthesizers, the technology seems very accurate to the time the book was written (except for the time machine of course).
