I have been reading a vast amount of popular science in the past month or so, nearly all brilliant, of course 鈥� what else would you expect 快猫短视频鈥榮 culture editor to say? But it has also been wonderful to take myself out of the real world with a slice of sci-fi from Martha Wells, (pictured above).
The first in Wells鈥檚 The Murderbot Diaries series, it introduces us to Murderbot, a part-robot, part-organic security unit that has overridden its programming and prefers to spend its time catching up on TV, while feeling obliged to protect the puny humans in its care. Murderbot鈥檚 tone is brilliantly sardonic and this was a real escapist read for me. We are reading it in the 快猫短视频 Book Club 鈥� do come and join us!

I have also been escaping to somewhere less pleasant with the TV series, which is set after a nuclear war and was highly recommended by our TV columnist, Bethan Ackerley. As a huge Twin Peaks fan, it is always damn fine to see Kyle MacLachlan in action.
