    I have read the first book of the Wayfarer series and I am at the 1/4 of the second book. I don’t have questions but I do love her writings. The story is interesting, the writing is clearly and it feels good and relaxing to read her stories in our mad and depressing world. All I’d want to say is “thank you so much”

    I wonder if she plans to get back into writing “real” Sci-fi some more. The Monk and Robot series is nice, but IMHO the Wayfarer series was better. Maybe something based on earth in the not that far far future would be cool as well?

    My favorite book of hers is “Record of a Spaceborn Few” 👍

        It is not a bad series by all means, but imagine the robot being a golem and nothing else changed… it really is more of a fantasy book IMHO.

          True. But i really dont care. I care about good books. I have GAD - general anxiety disorders - and during 20 years, i treated it alone with heroin, crack, weird russian meds etc.

          Now im sober, i do a lot of sport, méditation & cold showers.

          And rn im reading this book, and it feels like natural valium to me: that’s amazing! Thank God for that.

          I love Peter Watts, but damn, reading him at night is a whole différent expérience. Same for PKD & Lovecraft.

    Did she have some particular inspiration for her monk and robot tale ? Also concerning the “no money system” in this story, did she get her inspiration from real systems or economical theories ?

    Here are some questions i would ask her.

    “The political and communities environments your personnages evolve are so diverses and so well though. Where do you find such inspiration? especially for the most positive ones ?”

    “Do you realise that the hope that you give empower peoples and make them seek and do positive things ?”

    “How can we, as a community, help you ?”

    “what is your favorite (hot) drink ?”

    “what would be the best question for interviewing you ? What do you want to point out ?”

    I feel the need to share this vid’ with her. The man’s definitely right. Nobody succesfully refuted him during many decades.

    Here again, im with Hayek.

    But libertarians aren’t open minded.
