The Atrocity Archives The Atroc­ity Archives by Charles Stross


My review

rat­ing: 5 of 5 stars
I don’t give many 5-​​star rat­ings, but The Atroc­ity Archives deserves one. You may need to read it with a web browser open to look up ref­er­ences using Wikipedia or Google, but if you enjoy Torch­wood, Men in Black, or Snow Crash, I think you’ll enjoy this one.

The vol­ume actu­ally includes the novel and a novella, The Con­crete Jun­gle. Both are good read­ing, and I rec­om­mend giv­ing your­self time to enjoy the fore­word and after­word, as well.

We lost another great writer and thinker today. CNN seems to be updat­ing their story on his death by the minute. There’s no con­tro­versy, but from the first ver­sion or two you’d think the only thing the man had ever done of note was co-​​write the screen­play for 2001: A Space Odyssey.

I know that he came up with more than just the idea of com­mu­ni­ca­tions satel­lites, but at this very moment I can’t remem­ber his other non-​​fiction con­tri­bu­tions to the world. I’m sad, but 90 years is a good, long run.

Nope, not Sun­day. Mostly. Well, maybe some­times. Damned earworm!

I was try­ing to be Very, Very good today as I wrapped up my assign­ments for the semes­ter. Unfor­tu­nately, I got com­pletely dis­tracted by the fact that I hadn’t done a bloody thing with Pagan Par­ents since adopt­ing the site. I got it work­ing at a min­i­mal level, so it should be easy to add con­tent now.

Hint Hint: Con­tent! I need con­tent! Col­lab­o­ra­tors! Seri­ously, if you have opin­ions about par­ent­ing as a pagan, or you know of resources that I should link to, please let me know. If you know some­body who might want to write an arti­cle or blog with us there, have him or her con­tact me.

MomoCon?

Any­body going to Momo­Con here in Atlanta? I’d never heard of it before today. It’s free, and may be in its sec­ond year (I’m not sure). It seems quite small, which could be nice. It’s local, which is a big plus for us. I’m unclear as to whether there’s any gam­ing hap­pen­ing or not, and there’s no men­tion of filk­ing that I can see.
