In his lifetime, "Xanti" (Alexander) Schawinsky (1904-79) was best known for his work in the theater department at the Bauhaus. Fleeing Germany before the beginning of the Second World War, he landed at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where in the 1930s he developed his theory of the "Spectodrama." Involving multimedia productions examining elementary phenomena such as space, motion, light, sound or color from scientific, technical and performance-based perspectives, the Spectodrama represents an early form of the "happening." Beyond the avant-garde utopias of the Bauhaus and his proto-happening art, Schawinsky also worked as a painter and graphic designer.Protracted legal disputes over the artist's estate meant that Schawinsky's work was until recently almost inaccessible; Xanti Schawinsky is the first survey of Schawinsky's extraordinarily prolific output over the course of five decades, and a long-overdue resource on the work of this key figure.

Excellent Hard Sci-Fi… Until the Politics Pull You Out
Format: Kindle
I was really excited to dive into Project Hail Mary. As a longtime Isaac Asimov fan, I’ve been craving fresh, modern hard science fiction that actually respects the science. This book delivered — at least for a while.
The author injects real science into the story in a way that’s both fun and fantastic. You don’t need to be an engineer to follow it; a solid high-school education is plenty. The concepts stretch your imagination without ever feeling impossible, and for the first chunk of the book I was hooked. I genuinely thought I’d found a new favorite author.
Then the jarring interruptions started.
Out of nowhere you get yanked out of the immersive sci-fi world by modern political pandering that feels completely unnecessary. A random parenthetical about Columbus “discovering an already inhabited world” when comparing something to the New World. Casual pronoun lectures. Characters selected or described by race and identity in ways that scream “check the boxes.” These moments don’t serve the story — they feel injected. Once you notice the author’s leanings, it becomes hard to unsee.
Each time it happens, the fantasy evaporates. It takes several chapters to sink back into the story… only for the next micro-lecture to pull you right back out.
Overall, I loved the writing, the hard science, and the imagination. It’s some of the best sci-fi I’ve read in years. I just wish the author had trusted the story instead of sneaking in real-world politics. It’s like eating the best meal of your life… and then finding a hair or two in it.
Strongly recommended for the sci-fi, with the above caveat.

A Good Intriguing Start
Format: Kindle
A very good read. I thought Hickman wrote the best version of Doom, but this story so far is exceeding my expectations. This is a well written Doom, intelligent, strategic, all the things you want a good villain to be.
And that’s the thing, Doom hasn’t done anything one could call necessarily villainous yet, so at this point you’re kind of on his side. I’m curious to see if the writers can pull off a heel turn that doesn’t have him suddenly act out of character or do something incredibly stupid in order to show his villainy in the end.

I Expected More Character-wise
Format: Kindle
Ryan North's Fantastic Four series is a fantastic read, and the titular heroes are a well-written team. But, the characters featured in this series seem pretty shallow, if not stupid.
I get that to move a series along you need the characters to exhibit recognizable surface-level traits and to get them into situations in rather short order, but asides from Doom's elaborate planning, the characters in this comic feel hollow to me.
There are eight more issues to go, and I'm onboard for the conclusion, but I hope that this main series gets some personality on its own apart from needing the accompanying tie-in series to do that.
