@lain it can be a little rough aroud the edges but the way marinetti uses describes scenes and uses extended metaphor is absolutely incredible, it also has a good plot and decent characters.mafarka.epub

@kaia currently mostly reading rudy rucker short stories, but i started a book called 'the emperor of scent', which is about a scientist who tries to find out who the sense of smell works.i didn't even know that was much of a questions, but it is, because smell seems to be doing something that's impossible: detect any kind of molecule, instantly.for comparison, the digestive system detects (and digests) some molecules instantly, but can't adapt very much (you can never eat grass). and the immune system can detect (and destroy) most molecules, but it takes time (you get a flu first).but the sense of smell can detect any molecule in a certain size range, without ever having seen it, either in the lifetime of the person or in evolutionary history.

@lain @kaia There’s a mark rober vid that came out not too long ago that went over a related subject, which is how cool a tracking dog’s abilities are.. They’re able to isolate a unique scent in a crowd of people, even when multiple scents are present on the object presented to give the scent, and immediately narrow down to the scent they’re supposed to find through a process of elimination using who else is around them in a crowd- and they mentally catalogue this scent in a way that still lets them distinguish the smell even if minor things have changed about it day-to-day, like for example cologne, shampoo, etc. Super interesting.

@lain The audiobook is especially fun because they use music at certain points and while I know some 40k lore, I clearly forgot some of it, with the books clearly expecting you know the basic stuff. So it goes like this:Space Marine: "Where are we going?"Other Space Marine: "Oh, just some unimportant moon in a system called 'Davin'."Music: "DUN DUN DUN!"Me: "...wait, what happened on Davin again?"
