Weird, misanthropic man from Scotland, now in Aotearoa NZ. Doggo daddy. Music nut. Socialist. Book lover. Wannabe novelist. LGBTQIA+ ally. Wonk. Rangers fan. Currently channelling his inner poet, like Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz.
Squeaky Clean by Callum McSorley. Couldn’t be more Scottish if it tried. Full of horrible violence and deliciously dark humour. Listening on audiobook makes it even more engaging.
Don't Worry About The Robots by David Glover & Jo Cribb.
How prominent New Zealanders are dealing with the changes in our society, with new chapters dealing with the fallout of COVID-19 and generative AI.
Loving this book and the world it’s created. It makes me want to live in the fictional island of Tuga.
