Been working my way through the Malazan books again (1, 3, 2, 4) and so far House of Chains (4) could possibly be a starting point. The character knows little of the rest of the world and the action is in parallel to the first three. I’m not even certain how it connects together with the overall take yet.

I do plan on reading book 6 before 5, since I know that one takes place before any of them.

@deinol @bwebster @kensanata I haven't read that far yet, but isn't 9 and 10 supposed to be one big novel? Maybe it's better to read them close together?

@deinol @bwebster @kensanata Also, uh doesn't book 5 take place before 6? Midnight Tides takes places before Bonehunters afaik and a pretty big thing in BH builds on the end of MT.

@deinol @kensanata @bwebster That plan sounds sound to me.

I used to look at these kinds of statements as deceptive PR, but increasingly I see them more through the lens of faith.

The tech billionaires are true believers and don’t accept they’re misunderstanding things like intelligence because they believe themselves to be geniuses.

@parismarx I feel like what they want is slaves without admitting that they want slaves. Things that can do qualified work without the ability to object.
