In better book news..
After the Future of War debacle (it didn't improve, and made all sorts of bizarre assumptions) I bounced back with a couple of good new books.
What If? 2. As an alternate history geek, I'm loving this series. Serious historians examine scenarios like "What if Antony and Cleopatra defeated Octavian?" "What if Pilate refused to crucify Jesus?" "What if Teddy Roosevelt had won the Republican nomination in 1912?" and so on. Great stuff, and gives me all sorts of ideas for Infinite Worlds scenarios.
Guns, Germs, & Steel. After hearing so many good things about this book, I finally gave in. So far, I'm very impressed by the both the scope and depth of this book.
Lots of good reading ahead!
