Less sci-fi and more sci-fuuucck, this looks like it'll be a good read: http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2013/08/eric-schlosser-command-control-excerpt-nuclear-weapons Could do without the Kindle edition being p. much equal to the print in price, though

Al! posted:the episode where they discover that warp speed is destroying the universe, but warp speed is necessary to their society, so they all decide to not break warp six or whatever was dumb as hell and like yeah i get it i think its assumed they eventually techno'd that away ive mentioned it before but it REALLY bugs me that they had the story arc revealing that most sentient life in the galaxy (at least the big ones in the alpha sector) were all created by a benevolent ancient race billions of years ago and there was maybe 10 seconds of klingons saying w/e and the romulans saying oh well maybe one day we will be able to live in peace and the humans just standing around gawking at the message and then NOTHING not a goddamn thing happens. it never comes up again. i dont mean the entire universe needed to change but SOMETHING would have been nice. same with voyager finding out dinosaurs loving built spaceships and travelled to the delta quad before their extinction. what the gently caress.

in a perfect world picard is actually french and played by serge gainsbourg. he's always drinking and smoking unfiltered gitanes and having loud sex in his ready room. he even makes troi stay on the bridge and listen while he bangs lwaxana

Amethyst posted:not sci fi but i finally got around to reading a john le carre book. tinker tailor soldier spy. good poo poo late to answer but... kind of? The pacing was off and I really couldnt stand the protagonist (Westerby) by the end of the honourable schoolboy -- and I didn't really feel sympathetic where le carre seemed to expect sympathy -- but it wasn't absolutely dreadful, plenty of interesting intrigue and spy stuff. The London bit also seems tacked on after the fact some times. Smiley's people is more 'in form' for le Carre and I really enjoyed it, so if you're ok with a mediocre second book I say read em. You could skip the honourable schoolboy but the events of SP are informed by THS so just power through it, it's not terribly long. Plus it gives some closure to the whole arc which is always cool MindSet fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Sep 23, 2013 |

NoneMoreNegative posted:Less sci-fi and more sci-fuuucck, this looks like it'll be a good read: the more you learn about events and leaders from 1945-1991, the more amazing it is that we didn't manage to ignite a globe-scouring nuclear war. anyway, i hope there are more books like this. there have been very few retrospective books on the cold war, which is a weird gap because so many secrets have been declassified and the participants and decisionmakers have been free to speak for two decades. i'd love to read a detailed look at the reagan white house, now that its no longer a political hot-button and much of it has been declassified. able archer, farewell dossier, submarine cable-taps, the reykjavik summit, and ronnie's transformation into hippie peacenik - there's a hell of an amazing story there that no one's put together.

FMguru posted:just finished it, good stuff. most of it was known before, but this book assembled it all in one place and put it in order. i hadn't realized just how shambolic (in terms of technology and maintenance and training) our super high-tech strategic nuclear forces were. i'm sure it was even worse in the ussr. which is why its god drat hilarious everytime someone says "why is it taking 10-20 years to research and build a new plane?? we did that poo poo in 2 years during the cold war!!"

The London bit also seems tacked on after the fact some times. Yeah, I noticed that the honourable schoolboy is a lot longer, which is usually a sign that the author has told his editors to gently caress off (a very bad thing). maybe I'll read the spy who came in from the cold instead? thanks
