    I just finished Ra by qntm. It's available free on his website.

    <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;qntm.org&#x2F;ra" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;qntm.org&#x2F;ra

    I&#x27;m guessing that many people here are familiar with this work already since HN was where I found out about qntm in the first place. If you haven&#x27;t read Ra, though, I greatly enjoyed it and would strongly recommend it.

      I just finished “There is no antimemetics devision”, qntm has my respect it was an incredible book.

        I enjoyed the book, but I &quot;read&quot; it on Audible which was possibly not the ideal experience. It was kind of fun though, they had static crackling for all the redacted bits.

        I&#x27;ve just started on There is no antimemetics division, and I&#x27;m underwhelmed. It risks not being read properly.

        Have been on some good stuff recently: Whitt by Iain M. Banks was nice, lighter than a lot of his other stuff, and genuinely funny at times.

        Best book this year was The Leopard by Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa. Couldn&#x27;t put it down.
