Constituent Service

John Scalzi’s “Constituent Service” is a short and humorous take on interspecies politics and the quirks of local bureaucracy. I’ve enjoyed some of Scalzi’s other short stories and this was no exception. Essentially, it’s a few days in the life

Gateway

31 July 2024

Simultaneously a great book and one of the more frustrating listens I’ve had in a while, “Gateway” by Frederik Pohl had been sitting on my “to read” list for some time. I finally decided to drop a credit on it.

I’ve been on a bit of a Hard Luck Hank binge recently, where I’ve started the entire series over from scratch. It’s still one of my favourite series because it hits my funny bone just right. Even with the dreadful
