The Andromeda Strain is a 1969 novel by American writer Michael Crichton, his first novel …
Seems relevant at a time when the solution suggested to micro-plastics is to develop a strain of bacteria that can simply eat plastic.
Yeah, why not. The chapters with She-Hulk are fun, but it goes downhill quickly after that, and it's a lot of "yeah but what if the Venom symbiote attached to Red Skull, then he'd be Black Skull, how cool right??".
The band of evil villains from different times and dimensions whose forgettable team name I've already forgotten are hard to care for. They want to rewrite reality itself, yeah yeah. I don't know that I fell there's anything at stake really, it feels forced and a bit empty. Trying to do what the Batman That Laughs went for, but that made me fell actually uncomfortable while reading it.

Want to read, or rather start it over again. Started it four years ago and it was full of insightful facts and well-thought points and arguments.
My current feeling is that this is essential reading for anyone who identifies as a guy and is in contact with kids, and useful for everyone in any case.

Oh no. I started another book without finishing the previous one(s). But it's good. A bit messy, but good, lots of interesting ideas and points in here. Two chapters in, i hope i can keep the momentum, and then bounce back to Doctorow's The Internet Con, which feels more succinct and clear, but also more restricted in the area it covers. Interesting to read these two side-by-side.
In this exhilarating novel, two friends--often in love, but never lovers--come together as creative partners …

Great Turtle stuff, dark, brutal and sad, but with a streak of optimism running through that carries the whole story.
In a way, the story is an obvious conclusion to the fun and youthful Turtles of our youth: only one remains, and must stop the evil at hand, that happens to be the grandson of the original Shredder. And take revenge. And maybe redemption and self-forgiveness?

Just got it and started reading it. The first 25 pages feel like a sharp summary of recent blog posts / articles of Doctorow's, which have been in my opinion some his best prose so far. But maybe more to the point, with fewer clever analogies and witty turns of phrases. Off to a good start.

Somewhere in the vast expanse of space, a group of prisoners lives in permanent captivity.
