I've seen quite some books about #bodypositivity and #selflove in the #selfhelp book category over the years, but this seems to be different, and I have read a recommendation about it. I put it on my wish list.

Sonya Renee Taylor:
"The Body Is Not an Apology - The Power of Radical Self-Love"

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" (Clarke's famous 3rd law)

In the Culture novels Iain M Banks introduces technology so advanced that I would need his command of superlatives to try to describe it. As a consequence his Science Fiction is 'soft' with respect to the tech side.

What makes me coming back to his novels is 'cultures' - the interaction of different species with different levels of capability, different views of the universe and different goals. Individual 'humans' are used as the canvas for Bank's sketches and paintings of those interactions.

Add to that a very pleasant reading voice and you get an audiobook that I will probably relisten once more in the future.

“final girl writing” is brought to you by the ghost who hates you & the city you’ll burn down.

subscribe & comment: write about a (probably supernatural) object or entity that’s been around for 3 generations.
