    • House of Suns
      House of Suns
      by Alastair Reynolds

      Stunningly good read, one of Reynolds best so far.  Big vision stuff and, by rights, a strong contender for next year's Hugo list.

    US v. ROTW Military Spending

    DateThursday, January 14, 2010 at 5:52PM

    There have been debates for years on various News Groups on the US v. EU which have boiled down to the kind of playground "my carrier fleet is bigger than your carrier fleet" size comparisons.  There's also a fairly strong US Conservative meme that the Europeans can afford their welfare states and healthcare off the backs of American Military protection.  We'll ignore the inconvenient truth that those healthcare systems in Europe cost less than the US one, and go with data.  

    SF Writer Tobias Buckwell has done this and has an excellent analysis out there.
