He’s a damn good author, that’s why. Only read the Song of Ice and Fire books so far, and I’m also going to read the rest… if they ever get finished.

And, yes, I’ve read literally all of Asimov, both Herberts, and am somewhat confused what science fiction has to do with SOIAF. Somehow completely missed cyberpunk but I guess by now it’s too late, I’ve read The Diamond Age, fuck transhumanist dystopia we don’t need the transhumanism for that. Still have catch-up to do on the Culture series.
