Cached US Kindle giveaway: 6 copies of Ray Nayler's The Mountain in the Sea, which I *have* but *haven't read*. I got it because it was $3, and was about octopuses. CUDDLEFISH FOR THE WIN, seriously, it's the easiest way to get me to buy a book by an author I don't know. #KindleBookGiveaway

#TheMountainInTheSea is near-future SF that will stand up to passing of time. The DIANIMA corp, robot slave fishing ships, ubiquitous drones are all pretty much happening now or close to.

It so obviously benefits from the author's depth of professional knowledge and experience. Need to get Eduardo Kohn’s "How Forests Think."

I may never eat #octopus again, though. #haveread twenty-eight

Nach der ewig langen Hängepartie mit dem letzten Roman habe ich Ray Naylers #TheMountainInTheSea jetzt tatsächlich in nur drei Tagen verschlungen. Komplexe aber nicht zu viele Charaktere, intelligente Dialoge, schlaue Aphorismen, echte wissenschaftliche Probleme und fiktive Sachbücher, die ich gerne komplett lesen wollen würde. Genau wie eine Fortsetzung übrigens, obwohl der Text auch prima ohne auskommt. Humanistische SciFi at its best! Klare Leseempfehlung! 🐙
Review by dsdb - The Mountain in the Sea

Always fun to explore consciousness. Reminds me in places of Children of Ruin and Blindsight a...

Eager to begin reading this. I like Nayler's short fiction and I find any "first contact among Earthlings" premise interesting. #books #toberead #tobereadpile #themountaininthesea

I recently started a #substack so I could centralize my #bookreview, #moviereview #writing. I also write about #socialwork sometimes. Please feel free to share and give me some movie and book recommendations!

This week I wrote about #AsteroidCity and #IndianaJones, as well as #TheMountainintheSea, as well as #books #organization

Thanks for reading and sharing!

Octopuses, Asteroids, Joneses, and Book Organization

What a week for the movies!

"In the dream, Ha never saw the cuttlefish as they were in their prime - bright and luminous, streaked with kaleidoscopic color change, arranging their arms in semaphores of threat or curiosity. No. In the dream she descended, caged in the white noise of her respirator. Down into water clouded calcitic-gray. Down to a silt bottom strewn with stones."

I'll probably give the book a go - and this is certainly true, isn't it?

"The great and terrible thing about humankind is simply this: we will always do what we are capable of."

The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler – how to speak octopus

What if the first alien intelligences we encountered were already living with us on planet Earth? This near-future novel of ideas wittily explores the nature of consciousness

All this AI talk lately really makes me want to revisit #TheMountainInTheSea. @bookstodon
