Recommended Reading: Stealing Worlds
June 18th, 2019
So you’ve read EDGES😎…
And you’re looking for new science fiction?
May I recommend Karl Schroeder’s Stealing Worlds, out today!
I was fortunate to read an early review copy. Here’s what I had to say about it:
Stealing Worlds is that rarest form of science fiction:a compelling story that dares to re-imagine the world we know in an entirely new and yet plausible way. With this novel, Karl Schroeder has given us a vision of a future blossoming from a synthesis of real and virtual realities.
In this novel, Karl figured out a way to do something I’ve pondered doing for years, but couldn’t figure out how. I love his original take on our future.
Not convinced? Check out this review from BoingBoing.

Sounds very interesting. Now in my TBR stack.
However, I will wait for the price to drop as I am unwilling to pay $15 for an ebook.

Wow! I agree. I’ll also admit that when prices are that high, I tend to check Audible for an audio edition, since that only costs me one credit regardless of list price. 🙂

Thanks for the recommendation. I read the first couple of sentences of the description, which sparked an interesting story idea I write down immediately.
Went back to read the rest of the description and was pleased to find the book isn’t anything like the story idea I wrote down.
I’ll pick up a copy soon. Thanks

It’s always such a relief to confirm your ideas are unique, isn’t it? It can be terrifying, while you wait for your book to be published, to hear about another book that sounds almost the same. It never is the same, of course!
