[Sam · Rating 2 out of 5]

*C+*
10 • Hardfought • novella by Greg Bear - *** well done, and famous in Scfi, I had read it decades ago but parts still stick with me. Is humanity saved if it changes completely to save itself?
92 • The Peacemaker • short story by Gardner Dozois - * barely Scfi, dystopian, cult story. Btw if all the ice melts the sea rises 200 ft not 300 but that’s just nitpicking.
113 • Slow Birds • novelette by Ian Watson - * dystopian, cult story.
146 • Blood Music • novelette by Greg Bear - *** Very interesting and innovative, bio-chip, micro-sentience
176 • Homefaring • novella by Robert Silverberg ** Jim McCulloch's consciousness awakens inside the body of a sentient lobster
