Wil McCarthy’s POOR MAN’S SKY is his sequel to RICH MAN’S SKY, which is an entertaining near-future space novel about what it looks like when space-obsessed trillionaires’ pipe dreams actually get turned into actual projects. I liked the first book because it actually treated said trillionaires as functional (albeit weird) human beings. Even the most unpleasant one wasn’t a cackling Bond villain, which is always nice to see. Anyway, it just came out, so I haven’t read it yet. I’ll let you know how it goes.
