Pick of the month: Glasshouse by Charles Stross. Stross is one of those sf authors who it seems like I would like, but I've never gotten around to him. I finally had reason to, as his novel Glasshouse has themes of life extension that seemed like they would fit into a class I am going to teach. I don't think it will work in the class, actually, but it was an excellent read: a cool story of body-, mind-, and gender-bending in a posthuman future. I blazed through after being in something of a reading rut for most of the month. And then I read Piranesi quite quickly too.
