Finished reading Brunner's Sheep Look Up, which is my 10th book this year. It's really good, but also terrifying, terribly realistic and up-to-date. It's set sometime in late 1970s (near future, as it was published in 1972) but many things are all too familiar - terrorism, pollution, bacteria that are immune to all know antibiotics, social unrest, big corporations doing whatever they want for profit, American interventions in other countries - as well President Prexy, who sounds very much like Trump. It's not very long but demands concetration, because there is at least a dozen major characters and even more minor ones, everything is connected and sometimes it's like the butterfly that causes a tornado. Or a complicated tapestry. All in all, certainly worth reading, it did not age a day.
