Aspiring fantasy author and geek working on a series under the subtitle "Nothing is Everything". That's the only interesting thing I can think of, but there is always the seldom used option of asking :)
Mastodon: geekdom.social/@NickEast Read my story at: reamstories.com/huom The Last Philosopher is a satirical high-fantasy story with heavy-handed attempts at humour. It revolves around the world of Huom and some of its quirkier inhabitants. It’s the first book under the subtitle, Nothing is Everything. It's been called imaginative, funny, and unique. People have even gone so far as to compare it to Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett. My response to that comparison, is to go hide under the covers for a week with embarrassment.

"Greater economic and cultural openness in the West has not benefited all of our citizens. …
It tries to explain the rise of populisim perticluarly in Great Britain. While I don't agree with everything in the book, it is pretty interesting. It works hard to avoid blaming the affluent, and never using the word rich like the four letter word it is. But even while not saying the quite part out loud, it implies that both rich liberals and conservative are leaving the young and the poor behind. Which historically has not had the best results. 4/5 stars.

3/5 stars, I wish I could say they're getting better with each book. Don't get me wrong, they're still good, but the more I read the over descriptions of the virtual environments are getting to me 🤔
