Read “Random Acts of Senseless Violence” last night, based on a William Gibson endorsement. It’s great — diary of a 13-year old girl living through social collapse. Does that Clockwork/Algernon thing where her language changes as she does. web.archive.org/web/20210212...

I read it based off a review in Starlog, when I was just a few years older than the protagonist. It’s stuck with me.

Man, all his Dryco books are brilliant, weird, ruthlessly contemporary, and singularly offputting in a way that makes me glad I read them but not psychologically willing to revisit them.

Thanks for the rec, just got it from the library!

Read this when it came out. I just have been 10 or so. Shook me to my core.

That sounds really cool

I got this book from the library after reading this post and am most of the way through it. It's great!

Nice. Just reserved it at the library.

Just ordered. Thanks for the recommendation.

Wow. I saw this post in my timeline and read the first few pages because it sounded like something I’d like. Promptly checked it out from my library (the price has gone back up on Amazon). It’s really, really good. Thanks for mentioning it.

It's on sale for $2.99 as a Kindle book - 1/5 the price of a movie ticket, go get it! www.amazon.com/Random-Acts-...
