Book 20: On the Origin of Species and Other Stories by Bo-Young Kim
Nice to read work by a friend—though disclosure, we have a story in this. It’s now up for an award. We weren’t properly credited, by publisher/editor error, though. :/ Lots of post-human extinction tales here! https://t.co/Lit8lmvtAx Book 21: Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World by Jack Weatherford
Fun book arguing the Mongols weren’t that bad, but my enjoyment was tainted by a certain distrust of the author’s (seemingly uncritical) use of apocryphal/mythic text as a primary historical source.
