WorldCON schedule and Wednesday Reading
First of all, WorldCON sent out their final schedule today, so now I can officially announce where you can find me (virtually) in Glasgow next weekend (August 8-12). My panels are online, unless otherwise noted:
But, so I have a couple of early mornings, both for hybrid panels. We'll see how this goes. I've had some bad luck with hybrid in the past--not being able to hear the other panelist and basically being Max Headroom in a corner and so not getting called on to participate a lot. But, I am hopeful!
As for reading, expect a lot of manga over the next week and a half!!
This week, of course, it's still been all cyberpunk, all the time. I finished a re-read of Gibson's Nueromancer, as that's the subject of our most recent podcast (which should be dropping later today or early tomorrow), and I started listening to the audiobook for Klara and The Sun by Ishiguro Kazou. I just finished watching Star Trek: Prodigy's second (current) season, and really loved it. Every time my family looked over my shoulder while I was watching this they had some disparaging comment about the animation, but I thought it was fine. Not my favorite style, but the story made up for it, IMHO.
In my TBR pile, I have a supposedly cyberpunk graphic novel called Twelve Percent Dread by Emily McGovern, a bunch of random manga that I will now probably dump to read later, since I need to focus on food and isekai (another world) manga.
What about you?
