Science Fiction: "Wool", Hugh Howey
Has anyone read it? I'll be vague so as not to spoil the plot. If you've read it, did any particular character remind you of Dagny?
While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
As far as the Dagny similarity, I didn't see it when I read it. Now, after thinking about it, it is still a bit of a stretch. Even so, interesting story.
Is this you're work Wonky?
I've written a scathing review of myself that questions whether I've attempted to usurp the Gulch as my own personal laboratory. Might make a good article in the newsletter.
I'd hate to think someone would choose not to read a book simply because I recommended it.
Incidentally, I've got "Shadows Live Under Seashells" on my reading list, right after "Pendulum of Justice".
(I'm assuming you weren't asking if I'm Hugh Howey. I'm not.)
I appreciate your taking the time to read my work. Thank you.
Unfortunately, reputation does color people's perception.
I do hope that if you've taken offense to any of my posts, that your perceptions of me will lose their color as I refine my presentation and commentary. As I stated to LS, I choose to correct my errors as a matter of rational self interest.
are you a programmer? huh. have we fought about patents yet?
what part of the country are you from?
Patent fight: not yet
From: Currently, just west of Baltimore, MD, but in truth, nowhere- I was a military brat. Home was always wherever I was... Okinawa, Germany, Massachusetts, Georgia, Texas, Florida, etc. etc. etc.
No one will ever erase the word "grok" from my vocabulary, and I will never cite my source unless asked to.
well I'm fighting with MM about those pesky property rights so you'll have to wait your turn. *SPOILER* I'll win
