Sorry, I’m late on this post. But then, I’ve no schedule for these, so why the weirdly guilt-ridden opening? No idea. Force of habit.

This is a relatively quick one. I’ve updated the Library (https://obakebooks.com/the-library/) with a new book from the series. This book is one I really love, but one person on Amazon absolutely LOATHES. So that version on there is now the updated second edition, whereas this version, on my own personal site, is the unadulterated original, which I love, as it feels exactly as it should be because it has a small but critical point to make. People, as a whole, as a species, are, in actual fact, planet killers. Yes, not directly. We aren’t trying to blow it up from the safety of our gigantic galactic floating space station (yet), but we are a significant factor in its demise, and we’re doing it constantly, in little ways, every day. Sure, usually without malice, but entirely out of our own sheer human stupidity. We’re dumb; we’ll live forever; what’s to worry about? Oh, is it getting hotter in here? Turn up the AC and so on.*

That’s what a lot of this book is about. Well, some of it. A little bit. Okay, that one line. The rest is obviously about robots and how much I like them.

Interesting side fact. The robots in this book are a cobbled-together pick and mix of my favourite robots of all time, including, but not limited to:

The Solenoid Robots (Roger Ramjet)

Bender (Futurama)

The Shiny Red Robots of Vortis (Hyperdrive)

Storybots (Storybots/Netflix)

They are all very cool robots; the shows they exist inside are excellent, by extension, and vice versa. Go watch them.

That’s it for today!

Enjoy.
