Re: Kage Baker

Welcome, nyx_lily. Glad to meet another Kage Baker fan.

Yes, December is really, really too far away...what is it, two weeks? I'm just hoping that I can scrounge together the money for a copy, so that I don't have to wait for the library to get it or for it to come out in paperback - in a year.

As far as what will happen in the books when they reach 2355, I haven't a clue, and I'm trying not to speculate. I don't want to ruin the pleasure of reading about it when she writes about it, or risk being disappointed because her vision doesn't fit with mine.

I wonder what you think, however, about her predictions of what will happen generally in the future - more and more things becoming illegal "for our own good", the general dumbing down of the culture, and all that. You see a lot of that, of course, in the interactions with Company employees from the future in "Sky Coyote" and even more in "The Graveyard Game". Personally I think that she is, sadly, pretty right on about where things are going, at least in American society.

Anyway, welcome, again. Hope you enjoy the forum.
