pickThis was a fun and interesting read. Soonish is about “ten emerging technologies that‘ll improve and/or ruin everything”. Dr. Kelly Weinersmith does the heavy lifting with the science writing while her husband, Zach, adds the cartoons.
Bonus: if you point the Soonish app on your phone at the book cover or an image on your computer it shows an augmented reality space elevator, complete with the ship moving up the wire to the station in orbit!
If you open the Soonish app and point your phone at the book (or even cover image on computer) a space elevator appears and the ship starts traveling up the line to the orbiting platform. Very cool.
There is also a ton of great science in this book!
Really enjoying Soonish so far. It‘s chock full of science, humor, and whimsical cartoons.
1. Yep
2. One out of probably every eight or so is non-fiction lately. I try for one per month.
3. Ha, well... I actually enjoy reading about hauntings and supernatural sciences, which I've been told a number of times is too close to fiction 😂 Otherwise, true crime is where it's at.
4. Nabokov's Favorite Word is Mauve. Books and analytics complete with charts? I was in heaven.

pickInformative. Hilarious. Amazing. I also admit to taking photos of the entire bibliography to scour some of the topics I loved most. Highly recommended as a chapter-at-a-time non-fiction to help you feel smarter and super up to date on advancing technologies... that is, if you're a total science fail like me.
1. It's been a tough year, so I've only averaged 0-1 lately. Been using the library and library apps pretty seriously.
2. No new books. I've attempted to do this IRL, but I'm not serious enough about it.
3. I went to Atlanta, GA, with a side trip to Alabama to visit the still-standing set of Spectre from Big Fish, 1.5 years ago.
4. Yes, I collect lapel pins. Also,got a special Coke bottle celebrating the National Parks.

pickJust started reading this book written by two scientists in a very sarcastic manner.Great book to start for anyone interested in pop science.Contains a lot of interesting animated images.👌Highly recommended.
pick#popsugar2018 A book by two authors (Kelly and Zach Weinersmith.
I liked it a lot. Good pop-science writing with loads of humor (more than I‘d expected, honestly.) The nota bene‘s at the end of the chapters focus on some really interesting oddball stuff.
Three of my selections for #newyearsreadathon unintentionally are short story/essay collections, so I'm spending tonight switching between them. @CocoReads
pickI was a little disappointed that they didn't discuss 3D printing as its own chapter (really only in the ch on bioprinting), but the details and humor throughout the book still make this a very worthy and enjoyable read. 😎🔬🔭

On the first section about how to achieve cheaper space travel and I'm very much enjoying it. 😉👍🔭

Really excited to be starting this. 🎉🔭🔬💻📡💉🎉 #Soonish #currentlyreading #technology #ReadHarder #nonfiction #scienceisnotaliberalconspiracy #thefuture
I need a technology book for one of the reading challenges. I wonder if this will work? #ten
