The Emperor’s Soul The name Brandon Sanderson is not unknown to fans of science and/or epic fantasy. The creator of the Cosmere universe, who popularized the terms “hard magic and soft magic,” also finished Robert Jordan’s popular series “The Wheel of Time.” His name is known even to those who haven’t read his books… like…
Cyberpunk Edgerunners “Cyberpunk Edgerunners” (at least I had that impression) just suddenly appeared on Netflix. If there was any hype around its announcement, I missed it. However, this isn’t bad news. Just as it unexpectedly appeared, it also (somewhat unexpectedly) won the sympathy of audiences and film critics. The series is set in the world…
The Art of Thinking Clearly “What people are best at is interpreting new information so that their prior conclusions remain intact” – Warren Buffett “The Art of Thinking Clearly (52 Thinking Errors You’d Better Leave to Others)” is a truly interesting book that holds your attention from the very beginning. The reason is simple….
A Man Called Ove From the moment I (finally) picked up the book, I firmly decided I would take a negative stance toward Ove. That is, not a negative attitude toward the novel “A Man Called Ove,” but toward the main hero himself. The reason is simple. I didn’t want to allow myself to (emotionally)…
The Sandman “If dreams disappear, humanity will disappear too” – Morpheus/Dream The news that “The Sandman,” Neil Gaiman’s cult comic/graphic novel, would be adapted into a live-action series was met with support and enthusiasm from fans… accompanied by mild apprehension about how it would turn out, since “Netflix” took the reins for making the…
Thunderball “Thunderball” was (and still is) one of the more popular James Bond films. Plenty of novelties were inserted, the plot was dynamic and entertaining… and financially it could be considered one of the more successful Bond films. The evil organization SPECTRE returns to the scene again, with an extremely diabolical (“How else…” – note…
Samurai Champloo Simply, there are some series creators who are auteurs in the true sense of the word. They know how to make a good thing and that’s that. Shinichirō Watanabe is one of those people. If he wants to make a good anime, he has things he won’t give up on. It must deal…
The Song of Achilles When it comes to choosing books, for me (I believe, and for a good number of other people) it’s based on two approaches: either I choose a book intuitively/instinctively (i.e., something strongly attracts me to the title) or I’ve previously researched the book, reviews and the like (though I apply this…
Self Leadership and The One Minute Manager Was it somehow under the influence of the book “Who Moved My Cheese,” which (slightly) restored my hope that wisdom for personal development can be found in smaller packaging (in terms of the number of pages in a book), that somehow fate put in my hands the little…
Love Death and Robots (season 3) As I mentioned in my review of the second season of the anthology series “Love Death and Robots,” the third season appeared (at least for me) unexpectedly on Netflix. After the phenomenal first season, the second had a small, let’s say, drop in quality (though visual progress was obvious)….
