Mainly, a lot of issues of Scientific American and Prospect that all arrived at once. SciAm discusses the great SETI problem “If there’s life elsewhere in the galaxy, why aren’t they talking to us”. More on this soon.
I also picked up the latest Peter Corris, #25 in the adventures of Cliff Hardy, but I was a bit disappointed – maybe it’s time for Cliff to retire. Not that there’s anything wrong with this one, but there’s not much new to be said after 25 novels.
