I love Fire Upon the Deep so much! Love the slow release of details in those first few chapters that build the world without giving it all away up front! Also thought it was really clever how the author avoids making the book feel quickly dated as tech evolves past what was around when he wrote it, especially around the 'what the internet will be like in the future' bits by focusing more on human behaviour and how we would use futuristic versions of the internet instead of getting to specific about the way the future tech itself works. Cause human behaviour doesn't really change haha.
Mitchell's Diurnal Cockroach from Big Desert VIC 3490, Australia on September 3, 2023 at 11:13 AM by eliap
Leveled up my bug spotting game over the weekend! Driving along a track in big desert; catch a moments glimpse of stripy pattern in a bush; bug alarm goes off; promptly halted our convoy for a cockroach appreciation session!
Me and the fam just did the finale! Weve been watching all the episodes together since the start since we are all on holiday together. Wasn't 100% sure at first (but mostly just cause Eddie's felt a bit too much an Aussie characature in the first two eps!) but we were all very hooked by ep 3, and absolutely loved the rest (after they calmed Eddie down a bit haha). Dulcie and Abby were so good
