  • Sirens of titan. Well, Vonnegut in general. His stories are fine, probably ground breaking for the time in the sense of exploration, but the characters have no depth. It’s like reading a book about npcs. Then there’s the misogyny. Women are simply livestock kept around for breeding in this one, worse than an afterthought.

    I don’t think it’s valuable to read even from a historical standpoint. Wiki synopsis would be suggested.



  • Also significant politics within the field preventing integrated approaches to control. It’s possible we could target specific species of mosquito that are vectors for deadly disease, with the intent of eradicating the disease by suppressing the vector. It would be the greatest collective undertaking of human kind. We’d have to shelf things like international borders and profits.

    We’re stuck with being annoyed in any case.
