Did I mention that my new phone came with a book reader, “Three Musketeers” by Alexandre Dumas was one of the three free one, just thought I’d let you know. Also I re-read Arthur C Clarkes “Profiles of the future” (non-fiction) earlier this year it’s quite amazing how much of the technology he wrote about in 1959 is common place today.

Even his sci fi stuff is extremely good. I recommend the short story Memories of the Space Age.
Follow that up with The Atrocity Exhibition.
