  • Yesterday, finished Stephen Markley’s The Deluge, a great read and a tremendous effort - highly recommend it.

    The Deluge is a speculative fiction novel that focuses on the sociopolitical, economic, and ecological development of a series of catastrophic personal and global events stretching from the late 2010s with the narrative concluding around the late 2030s.

    It’s a longer novel, around 800 pages, if you prefer something more compact Markley’s previous novel Ohio is terrific as well.




  • I think there is an ache that comes from living here, and I feel it’s more of a consequence of high cost living in major urban centers as opposed to being unique to Seattle.

    It’s expensive here, but it’s supposed to be worth it because ultimately Seattle and Washington and I are wanting to see the same type of communities and culture thrive.

    Every action is a political one and by living here versus somewhere else we’re actualizing the political power of our time, money, and geography.

    Agreed! There is a sequel that was released that I haven’t gotten the chance to play yet. I remember sneaking the booklet out of the case at an EB Games and just devoring it because we couldn’t really afford too many games so I would just read and reread the inserts.
