The bestselling social history of Victorian domestic life, told through the letters, diaries, journals and novels of 19th century men and women.

While it's true that I might not be current on my anime watching and post-hardcore listening, and that I don't have as much time to devote to playing video games and card duels, I still love and enjoy all of these things. I love this hashtag, mainly because I grew up hearing all about how I would outgrow all the nerdy things I loved, such as anime, video games, post-hardcore music, and trading card games. Where did that come from? As it turns out, folks have taken to Twitter to talk about the things they'll never outgrow, using the #IllNeverBeTooOldTo hashtag. Reader communities are on the fence about whether it's appropriate to read children's books as an adult, but I'll admit it: there are some books #IllNeverBeTooOldTo read.

These are difficult questions, but if the stream of consciousness is an illusion we should be trying to answer them, rather than more conventional questions about consciousness. Why should we all be victims of an illusion, instead of seeing things the way they really are? What sort of illusion is it anyway? Why is it like that and not some other way? Is it possible to see through the illusion? And if so what happens next. But if they are right what could this mean? If you just say “It’s all an illusion” this gets you nowhere – except that a whole lot of other questions appear. Throughout history there have been people who say it is all illusion. What is all this? What is all this stuff around me this stream of experiences that I seem to be having all the time?

Tintera is a good writer who builds characters and relationships really well and writes with great pacing and clarity. The interplay between the two is easily the magic of the series, especially at the beginning were they’re still learning how to relate to one another. ![]() Then in walks my favorite dynamic of the story – Callum, a 22 who is relatable and endearingly human, challenging everything about Wren’s paradigm. She never questions authority and always does what she was supposed to do. Wren is a 178 and every bit the cold, calculating soldier she supposed to be (or so it would seem). The bigger the number, the less humanity the individual retains. It starts out with a great concept – humans who are “rebooted” after dying (from a virus) and given a number to indicate how long they were dead. ![]() And not necessarily because it was flawless, but because the elements that worked well really stole the show.
