I didn't like it that much. It was ok but I think it's been hyped out of all proportion. Gleeson and Farrell are good actors, but for me the script let them down. It felt like it was trying too hard to be meaningful or symbolic bu

I loved The Bridge! The first three Culture novels are exceptional: Consider Phlebas, The Player of Games and Use of Weapons. Highly recommend all three. The rest are probably great too but I haven't read them yet. I also recommend The

The biggest environmental concern always cited for EVs is the source of electricity, which has a decent chance of being renewable, going forward. Fossil fuel ICEs have zero chance. They will always be dirty. The second biggest concern is mi

Wait... Atheism? How does one answer spiritual questions from an Atheist perspective? Surely that's impossible since the ethics and morals of an Atheist can't be drawn from a single source.
