Masterpiece. The fate of humanity, in the present world only Dogs live. They tell parables or myths about humans. Dogs themselves do not believe in their existence. A lot of interesting ideas. A sad story about the disappearance of humans. The story also contains a strong anti-violence message. Finished: May 2023 Rating: 10

A humanistic Robinsonade aboard a spacecraft. Resembling Heinlein’s “Orphans of the Sky” but decidedly more humanistic. It’s actually quite splendid. Reads easily and somewhat naively. Finished: May 2023 Rating: 8
Why Vim? Vim is installed on nearly every Linux distribution. I appreciate its minimalism. I have grown accustomed to its functionality. I simply like it! I’m still in the process of learning Vim. I prefer not to install additional software like VSCode on Linux. I abstain from using any form of auto-completion. Although Vim offers plugins with auto-completion features, I’ve experimented with them and discovered that I perform better as a developer without them.
I’ve had a penchant for books since childhood, although the memory of my very first read escapes me. I reckon it was likely a fairy tale, setting the stage for my fondness for science fiction. Approximately two years back, my movie-watching habit dwindled significantly. Reading allow me to immerse myself fully, engaging my senses to envision, feel, taste, and even smell the narrative. Movies and TV shows, on the other hand, fail to provide that same level of immersive experience.

An interesting science fiction tale. It is a story about how to win in a war. Power in the small nation of Latania is seized by a dictator Gamov and his allies. Together, they embark on an unconventional political agenda aimed at eradicating “war”. Abounding in captivating ideas and profound reflections, this substantial tome navigates through myriad musings. While some notions may seem naive, the narrative brims with thought-provoking concepts.
