- afandian 7mo agoSomehow enough fragments of that stayed in my brain since 2004 to google it. My first and last real-life encounter with the word 'gestalt'.
- nmstoker 7mo agoMemory is such an odd thing: not having thought of it in years, I recalled that Gestalt was a Mac feature to allow it to know its own capabilities: https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Gestalt https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Gestalt
- nephihaha 7mo agoI associate gestalt with a form of psychotherapy although I have never encountered anywhere that actually offers gestalt therapy round here!
- benj111 7mo agoI can't remember why I opened a cupboard door, although I recently came across Cerulean blue in an art shop which after much googling got me to the X files episode that I can't have seen since it first aired. memory is indeed weird
- evanelias 7mo agoYeah the first two novels were credited to their "Grant Naylor" partnership, and they're both excellent. After that, they each wrote an additional Red Dwarf novel individually / separately. Personally I've never come across those last two novels, although I always check for them whenever visiting a used book store. Maybe they were only released in the UK. They're available on Amazon in the US, but I haven't quite given up hope on stumbling across them naturally yet...
- afavour 7mo agoI’ve read both. It’s been years but Grant’s, Backwards, was notably better than Naylor’s, Last Human. Backwards spent the first section of the book in the backwards universe, over years. It’s has an interesting exploration of the implications of that universe. By comparison Last Human wraps that up in a few pages and spends most of its time dealing with android assassins.
