Literary recommendations: Ken MacLeod

[Cian]

http://www.sfsite.com/fm/print.html?rw,50socialist has a pretty good list of
" Fantasy and Science Fiction works that Socialist should read". I'll second
Ken Macleod who's fantastic. Anyone who can make obscure, British left wing
politics interesting has to have something going for him.

I'm currently reading "The Wisdom of Crocodiles". Not got very far into it,
but I picked it up for the fantastic opening:

"Its not laughter or the ability to use language that differentiates man
from the animals, but his capacity for incompetence... Our most important
discovery was not fire, or that language could be written down, or the atom
split, but the concept of limited liability". An inspired two page rant,
that I suspect the book won't live up to.
