We like big rocks (and we cannot lie)
Yesterday we had a couple of big rocks moved to where they can be seen and appreciated. Took the landscape guy (Brad) about half an hour.
Spring 2022

New tag: dystopia
Given my fondness for speculative/science fiction, I was a little surprised I didn’t have a tag for ‘dystopia.’ Many of my favorite novels are set in “an imagined state or society in which there is great suffering or injustice, typically one that is totalitarian or post-apocalyptic.”
Snow Crash, Go-Go Girls of the Apocalypse, Twenty Thirty, The Handmaid’s Tale, Mockingbird, and –of course– much/most of William Gibson’s work (The Peripheral, Agency, the Bridge Trilogy, and pretty much all the early stuff).
