Jason Werbeloff

I only recently discovered Jason's writing and i have to say that i'm really enjoying it.

Obsidian Worlds is a whole book full of short stories about random sci-fi things which i chose to read as inbetweenies between chapters of How Emotions Are Made.   It worked out really well giving nice little breaks to allow Lisa's cutting edge science to percolate through my synapses, although, unfortunately, there aren't enough shorts in this collection to cover all the chapters in Lisa's book.   Ho hum, i'll just have to find some other shorts to read.

So yeah, Jason has a Phd in philosophy and i think that kinda adds a certain flavour to Jason's sci-fi, and i do like philosophers who chose to write stories instead of academic papers -- much more fun for all of us.

Other philosophers who write stories that i recommend would be Aldous Huxley and Pascal Mercier.… (mehr)

This was a cool little short, recommended to me by my Goodreads friend Shelly.

I enjoyed the unique POV in the story and might have given it 5 stars for the original aspect of the story alone, except for the fact that I recently read a story in [b:The Mirrors|25717081|The Mirrors|Nicole Cushing|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1434147154s/25717081.jpg|45551037] where the POV was from the morphine in a bottle.

Even so, this short showed a lot of imagination and I enjoyed it. Thanks to Shelly for the recommendation.… (mehr)
