What do you think of her latest?

I read good reviews about it.

 

[kamuikamui]

Pretty good. I read it twice.

Who is she? What's good? Tell me!

Was it better than Bright Young Things?

 

[kamuikamui]

Equally excellent.

You get your money's worth.

Scarlett Thomas: new Phil K Dick.

Scarlett Thomas: new Phil K Dick.

Phil K Dick was best at short stories. I say Dave Eggers.

Scarlett Thomas is more like Margaret Atwood with more weight.

Maybe more like William Gibson. Dick was further outside than this. Never self-concious.

Hello, ST.

<laughs> Evening Songcatcher. Have you guys just come back tonight, or have you been here for a while in my absence?

Personally, I wasn't that keen on PopCo. Felt it had too much of a message to push, rather than telling a story. I still like Bright Young Things though.
