Soft Apocalypse (2011) Will McIntosh

Soft Apocalypse (2011) Will McIntosh

Jasper and his tribe and just trying to live from day to day as the world slowly crumbles around them.  Not quite as exciting as other end of the world books but much more believable.  That’s what makes it frightening.  You could see yourself in the same situation.  It makes you wonder what you would do in a similar situation.   What (and who) would be your priorities and how far would you be willing to go to keep them?  Will McIntosh makes you think -  Check out two of his other books – Faller and Defenders.

Genesis (2000) Poul Anderson

Genesis (2000)  Poul Anderson

Christian Brannock is astronaut, poet, singer and eventually uploaded brain in a box.  He travels the stars and one iteration of him bonds with the great galactic mind – Alpha.   Alpha then sends him to investigate why the great mind over Earth  -Gaia -  does not want to try to extend the eventual existence of the planet as the sun gets closer to super nova.  Typical  (good) Poul Anderson.   Good characters and better plot with a lot of situations.
