Books

• When Gravity Fails by Alec Effinger: In 1987, this book was already alking about sex change, mind enhancement and replacement, designer drugs, any many more things we now take for granted (or, maybe, not quite yet). The protagonist is infuriatingly drug-addicted and the ending of the book is a depressing warning for everyone who tries to do the right thing. 9/10
• The Integrated Man by Michael Berlyn: fascinating! This book, too, talks about many things we now take for granted (in literature), and it is from 1980.

Games

• Vampire Survivors: just a time filler, nothing more
• Planet Crafter
• Star Birds
• LEGO Voyagers: too cute
• Mind Over Magnet: nice
