Sobre mí
I'm just a reader. I read a lot of history of technology, Edwardian to WW2 novels & scientific biography. History of science is also an interest, particularly Victorian science, classical (Greek & Roman) engineering & technology, Charles Darwin & the early history of computing.

I stopped reading new science fiction in 1975 after discovering Gravity's Rainbow & Borges. What can compare to Pynchon? Apart from Iain M. Banks of course! I still read a bit of fantasy, Fritz Lieber's Fafhrd & the Grey Mouser ore suberb. And I like Terry Pratchett, but he's a bit second-rate, if you accept that there are very few first-rate writers.
