It's quite strange, I just realized I never specifically look for Post Apocalyptic books when I seem to actually enjoy lots of stories (books, games, shows, etc.) with this type of setting. This vlog sparked an interest in those two book, so thanks! I'll probably start with The Long Tomorrow since it's a stand-alone and I don't feel like starting a new series just yet. I've (finally) finished book 1 of the Terra Ignota series --which burned my synapses to a crisp as it's filled to the brim with philosophical, scientific and societal concepts 🥵-- and I'm still not sure how I feel about it (I feel like I loved many parts of it, yet it feels like I'm still trying to grasp what the hell I've been reading, ahah) and if I'll continue with book 2 right this moment ; also I'd like to (finally) start The Sun Eater series! I mean... I should at least read book one before buying all those hardcovers reprints that are incoming, no? haha. Love the Vlogs, they feel like cosy reviews and I'm all for it.

Forced myself to get through the first 100 pages, but then I started to get the vibe and was hooked. The characters are at the mercy of others but not powerless. It's a bit chaotic which keeps you off balance and understanding the world, but that's part of the appeal and how real military endeavors go. The Taken are like horrific mob bosses. The company wizards horsing around are a real hook too. I fell in love with it like I did with Thieves' World once I understood the characters and world.

do not be afraid to do a "chronological order" that strips out everything after 1981 or 1976 ...VERY different feel you will get...and almost certainly the source of what fandom & hype was once very strong around the character (folks such as myself) a 1989 onward reading might appeal to entirely different readers

oh, Moorcock is totally the source of the tropes, clichés, etc. Fuck the copy cats, not the OG. It's even better than our narrator claims, if you take it from someone who read them long ago, and the homages, plagiarists, etc, hadn't yet set to "work". When it was fresh & new, original, an antidote to Tolkien's utter domination of the fantasy genre (or at least all aspiring to write more of it!), and a complete inversion of Howard's totally dominant barbarian hero (giga-chads or whatever kids call it today), Conan (& a million other versions of him).

I've been watching several Elric videos today, and you are doing the best on pointing out how & why people ought go read him, supremely underrated & criminally forgotten, so many are inspired (or copying) Moorcock & giving no credit, it's gross. Tolkien, Lovecraft, & even Howard (now) get their due, but Moorcock....I think he somehow sabotaged himself? it's weird & wrong.

I think I will like Lamentation, I'm going to keep an eye out for a copy. There is an audiobook for The Long Tomorrow but you technically have to be (legally) blind to get a copy. I am really glad you liked The Long Tomorrow. I was pretty sure you would. I thought it had a tone that would resonate with you. I think you are on to something with the Garden of Eden theory. The boys were making a choice to search for the tree of knowledge and they may have bitten off more than they can chew. Bracket has a quite a few books. She wrote the Eric John Stark series which is Planetary Romance(like John Carter of Mars). I have not read them but even with those she was treading new ground. She was writing about a black guy as the main character in the 1940s!(all of the cover artists ignored that and used white dudes until Paizo re-released the stories around 2009ish). I can highly recommend The Big Jump by Leigh Brackett. It is an even shorter novel and is this perfect blend of atomic age SF(think Fallout-lite before the apocalypse, no laser guns but there is space age tech), detective noir, and a dash of cosmic horror/existential dread. The dialogue is as good you would expect from Brackett and you get a fresh look at what she can do. She actually started off writing detective noir novels in the style of Raymond Chandler. I talk about it in my review of The Big Jump but at one point she was contacted to re-write the script for The Big Sleep(the Raymond Chandler novel was being adapted into a movie starring Humphrey Bogart). That is the screenplay she worked on with Faulkner. The director Howard Hawks asked his secretary to call in "this guy Brackkett" to help them clean up the screenplay. I bet he was shocked when a woman showed up 🤣. Great vlog and you are right about Bilbo being the🐐. Frodo ain't got nothing on him 😎.

@@thefantasynuttwork I'll back this up! One of the best shows of the prestige genre era, GoT before GoT (the show.) Also has a polarizing ending; I would call it mixed, it's mostly just the last 5 episodes that go off rails (out of like a 20 episode final season) but there are a lot of good bits and interesting things. The most important part is they land the character arcs.

I’m so glad you enjoyed Lamentation. I thought it might be right up your alley. Your reference to Chekhov’s gun is apt with respect to the subsequent books in the series, but maybe not how you expect. The world expands exponentially and in surprising directions that actually are foreshadowed very subtly in the first book. I agree with you on Lamentation’s weaknesses, but for a debut work by an author, it’s still very impressive IMO. Fortunately, many of the characters gain more depth and complexity (and make significant mistakes) as the series progresses. Isaak the servo is one of my favorites. Also, the worldbuilding adds some great reveals not typically found in epic fantasy.

Jimmy, you should try Tchaikovsky's Elder Race. It's all of 200 pages and is two alternating POVs: one is a traditional fantasy princess going to ask a wizard in his tower for help, the other is the "wizard" himself who is actually a researcher from a future Earth where tech is significantly no different to these people from magic. He's not supposed to interact with them at all but decides he can't let many of them die from the coming crisis. Very fun book with things getting translated differently between the two sides, like when the researcher pulls up his voiced computer feed they think he's communing with spirits for advice.
