He should learn from liberals that the best way forward is just hugging it out
"I apparently wasn’t done feeling my feelings. I went into the nearest men’s bathroom and sat in a stall until I got myself under control. Nostalgia can be dangerous when it’s up close. I don’t exactly know what I mean by that, but it feels true."
Lovely tribute.
Lovely tribute.

we learned about clamate change in an anticlamactic way
Scientists were amazed to discover a 507-year-old clam that was already 100 in Shakespeare’s day, but why did it live so long and what can we learn from it?

So it’s about as clear as you can make it - US policy under Trump is to feed Europe piecemeal to Russia in return, presumably, for a “spheres of influence“ rapprochement and restored good relations at oligarch level.
It’s a declaration of war on liberal democracy and the egalitarian rule of law.

Adam's body of work is one of the most original and important in modern SF.

If this were a case of "I read one novel and ..." I might suggest a too-shallow evidence base. But 4-5 books is a pretty thorough sample. The judgement is in.
I'm tempted, but I've read 4-5 Adam Roberts novels and despite admiring his deep knowledge and ideas, I've found his fiction pretty mediocre at times

One British phrase I've not yet cracked is "fair play". It seems to be applied by a winner to people who are losing, which makes it a kind of humblebrag put-down, but there does seem to be a residual attachment to the actual ethos of playing fairly
