All the Lives He Led by Frederik Pohl

Interesting, fun story with many twists, great character arcs.  It was a little contrived.  4/5 stars.

Cycles of Time by Roger Penrose

I don't have enough physics to understand why one cosmological concept is more appealing than others.  The concept is cool, though, 2/5 stars.

Crossover by Joel Shepherd

I like the Spiral War series so I tried the first book of the Cassandra Kresnov stories.  There is a little too much for one book but it is great otherwise. I shall try to get the others. 4/5 stars.

The Utopia of Rules by David Graeber

This one is not nearly as good as Bullshit Jobs.  There are some interesting observations and analysis but the essays are very shrill and grating, 2/5 st

In the Heart of Darkness by Eric Flint & David Drake

The saga continues but the awe and wonder wears thin, 3/5 stars.  Lots of politics, intrigue, bad economics.

Rando Splicer by Joel Shephaed

I love this series.  5/5 stars.

The Fifth Head of Cerebus by Gene Wolfe

I never liked Gene Wolfe's books when I was young and I still don't like them now.  I did not like this story.  The "awesome" repository on github recommended the book so I read it. 2/5 Stars.

An Oblique Approach by Eric Flint

Intriguing universe, 3/5 stars.

Permanent Record by Edward Snowden

Fantastic!  Wow.  I have read all the other Snowden books, watched all the films, read some of the best technical materials released, and followed along as the saga continues.  This book is the very best so far.  I bought copies for people who work in this field.  Then I discovered the evil entities trying to kill Edward Snowden are also stealing all of the revenue for sales of Edward's books.  I shall try to get him to speak at eBay so that we can pay him for his important efforts on our behalf. 5/5 stars.  Internet Search Engines reveal where to find the book. 

The Emperor's New Mind by Roger Penrose

The first few chapters, Turing machines formalisms, and walk (inadequate) summary of Gödel's incompleteness theorems were terrible.  However the book warmed up during Penrose's commentaries about Quantum Theory, the odd uses of imaginary numbers, equivalences of large-scale Newtonian phenomena with Schrödinger's equation (my understanding from 1977 was wrong), and his introspective comments on "awareness," 3/5 Stars.
