Spotify is once again putting AI slop in my Release Radar. It got there because the uploader somehow was able to attribute this to a bunch of legitimate artists who I'm sure had nothing to do with this.

Neal Stephenson is the only author who I've read pretty much to completion. But I don't really know why, because all of his latest books have disappointed me one way or another. Now the nytimes review of his latest starts with this paragraph, which describes exactly how I've felt about others. 😩

When the final twist of a novel leaves you more excited about pages yet to be written than the ones you’ve just read, the immediate temptation is to downgrade the pleasures you’ve experienced along the way. That’s the conundrum of assessing Neal Stephenson’s “Polostan,” an enjoyable book in its own right, but a trifle disappointing for the way it abruptly ends just as your interest is peaking in its intriguing main character.
