MadMen's Journey - Book 3: Along the Way

As William, Hannah, Marshall, and the assemblage of survivors blend together to become a Co-op farm community, cattle and horses begin to arrive – thanks to Hannah’s Talents. Crops are planted, and hunting parties ride on horseback. Judica has a litter of pup. Penny and Tom’s first child arrives, and many speculate about whose child Jennifer carries. Through radio contacts, the Memphis farm survivors learn that the Chinese Army has advanced across the western half of the US killing any American survivors they find. As the threat approaches the Mississippi River, William, Hannah, and the survivors begin to speculate about what can be done. Enemy scouts begin to threaten other survivors in the area, so William leads a select few of his Talented people in early morning raids. Tom and Marshall soon have to use the jet to destroy all the bridges that span the Mississippi to slow the Red Army’s advance. An equally Talented nameless nemesis arrives to terrorize the co-op, stealing Marshall’s soul, but Hannah and her women thwart that plan. After their successful attack on 3 Chinese tanks, the now-desperate leadership team must determine how the 20+ survivors can safely escape. But… Where can they escape to?

The Travelling City

After a hundred years of watching humans make bad decisions, anyone would be sick of their job as peacekeeper. Reihan, a seaver created to deal with humans who lose control over their manifestation abilities, is no exception. Worse still, virtually all humans in the Travelling City can manifest. That is, shape reality according to their more or less well-formed and often poorly thought-out designs. That alone would be enough to keep her busy, but then there are people like Phillippe. Phillippe, who drenched himself in the city’s collective subconscious to strengthen his inborn powers. Even though he shouldn’t be, he seems fine, crowned as the new star escort in the Brothel of Transformative Curiosities. But Reihan has seen this story play out before. And Phillippe is far too charming, far too kind, and far too inconsolable for her to simply look away. The Travelling City is a dark fantasy mystery packed with romance and even more existential dread; set in a whimsical, bizarre and ever-changing world.

One of my favourites!

What this book does very well is demonstrate the scientific process from a practical and engineering perspective. The book is written sort of like a narrative, and the historical descriptions take on a nearly first-person feel to it. It's almost like 'you' can experience the evolution of thought and understanding of structural mechanics. It's as close to a representation of how science is actually done as I've seen. Very unique. FYI though, the guy tends to get a bit verbose and it sometimes feels like words were added to make his stream of consciousness writing make sense to others, but not enough words were taken away later.

This book requires fairly careful attention plus at least an attempt to follow some very simple algebra. But that said, it is well worth the trouble. This book gave me more of a startling uptick in my ability to perceive and "read" the structures around me - from trees leaning this way or that old bending in the wind, to the fascinating structures of bridges and buildings. Really an outstanding, entertaining, super well written book that literally changed my life. Suggestion: without sketch paper and google search to hand I would have had a hard time soaking this one up.

I wish Gordon was my Strength of Material Professor. His grasp of the subject is only exceeded by his writing skills. Reminds me of Richard Feynman in his knowledge and his ability to teach a complex topic.. BTW this is on the recommended book list of Elon Musk. That's a nice endorsement.
