April 9th, 2009Breakfast in Boston before WFNX.
WFNX has been a cool station since the eighties. Check out some of the names on these reels.
I haven’t finished this book yet but man, it’s fuggin genius. Get it. Basically a war novel, it’s setting is a really amazing dystopian view of the future. Incredibly detailed and well considered in regards to every concept he puts in. And there’s a lot of em.
I’m having Pete ask Richard K. Morgan about it cuz he’s my favorite uber modern writer. (Another Warhols fan. Pete met him when Richard was on book tour.) If he has, I’ll post what he says.
And check out “Altered Carbon” by Richard K. Morgan. This also mind-blowing book deals with a plausible future and how class structure/technology could play out. Richard’s “voice” as a writer is so cool. Dude is awesome.

Swamp ass says: You’re making me home sick. I grew up and went to college Bah-stin. Great music and radio scene. Having roughly half a million college students in the area doesn’t hurt.
AirtightGarage says: Morgan and Haldeman (esp Forever War) are most excellent.
Also check out China Miellvile, Jeffery Thomas (Punktown novels), Neal Asher, Vernor Vigne and Richard Paul Russo (Carlucci) , Gibson/Stephenson (of course) among others if you like those talented guys.
Was in Germany on business and saw you guys in Cologne. Great show. Keep it up. Thanks for making the world a bit brighter/wider whatever.
