/lit/ - Literature

Damn, someone got tilted by females of the human species. But I am still looking for recs so I'll repost here.

Let me continue lamenting the current state of sf and my inability to find anything worth reading. But before I start I gotta ask - who the fuck writes those "best new science fiction and fantasy" lists? I am amazed at how bad (and cultish) those are.

Anyway, onwards and upwards:

Hardwired by Walter Jon Williams - I really liked this novel. A well written, proper cyberpunk romp avoiding all of the clichés that still reads fresh. You got your badass protag, his equally badass lover slash bodyguard (she actually reminds me of Molly from Neuromancer and given that this novel was published in 1986 and Neuromancer in '84, I am not sure who stole from whom), crime syndicates, corpos from beyond the gravity well, it's all there.
And as I said the novel is not dated both in terms of character interactions and technology used, which is no small feat after going through half a dozen cyberpunk "classics" that read like something out of the Stone Age.

Disgusting onions slop. It was just so off-putting.

Nice premise, read the first novel but it didn't really catch my fancy.
How's the TV show? And do you have any other post-apoc recommendations?

I'll give this one a try, thank you.

Walter Longmire series by Craig Johnson.
Peek boomer neo-western, completely devoid of science fiction. With the usual "Bear-shits-inna-woods" Injun sidekick.
It's good, really.
