The Virtually Certain Man Is Not AI!

#59 - Snowflakes by Ruth Ware

There's more than a few people going off on this as a political attack on the right in the US, but it's a lot vaguer than that -- this could as easily be set in the UK, where there's preppers and sovereign citizen types and right wingers with violent tendencies who've fallen right off the sanity wagon. That Ware specifically mentions Father having an old shotgun, the ammo for which he keeps in a can in the kitchen, would certainly lend itself to it being the UK -- and obtaining a cache of guns isn't *that* hard there, despite the laws.

Anyway, it's a story about a man who flees to a secluded island with his kids, claiming there's been a war, and what happens next, told from the point of view of an older girl. It's pretty predictable, if well written.

Part of the Hush collection from Kindle Unlimited.

#60 - GG1 Images 1975-1980 by Harv Kahn

A collection of photos of the gigantic GG-1 electric locomotives initially used by the Pennsylvania Railroad, and later used by Penn Central, Conrail, NJDOT, and Amtrak. They were gloriously ugly beasts, but made for quite striking photographs.
