I’ve recently become interested in Apple’s interregnum period between Steve Jobs’s 80’s implosion and his return in 97.

It's very, very good, especially as someone who grew up with the shuttle missions happening through my elementary school (I still remember where I was when the Challenger blew).

Reading Bomb Light by Neal Stephenson, the sequel to Polostan. As always, Stephenson delivers. I'm a sucker for that era of history (the great battle between capitalism and communism when communism seemed an equally valid and exciting idea). The lines are all so blurry and interesting. Stephenson can just flat write some insane sentences and scenarios as well.

Thanks! I didn't know that was out yet. Polostan was good enough that I read it twice, back to back. Different, but some of Stephenson's best writing.

I'm nearly done with a re-read of Gorky Park. Brilliant stuff by Martin Cruz Smith. Extremely dark humor with some very cutting observations of the Soviet Union and the US. And a great protagonist. The movie was decent enough but it was never going to match the book.
