A couple months back I finished Part One of The Synchronicity War by Deitmar Arthur Wehr and decided to download the full Ominous from Barnes & Noble to my Nook.
The Synchronicity War is a sci-fi military adventure that follows Victor Shiloh a exploratory vessel commander that receives glimpses into his future. These visions guide his actions as an interstellar war unfolds. A war humanity is severely unprepared to fight.
Reading the beginning of chapter thirteen from Soon I Will Be Invincible gave me a sensible chuckle.
Feeling rather full of himself after avoiding detection at a super hero funeral the antagonist of the story relaxes in a coffee shop.
I close my eyes, for a moment. There are days when you just don’t feel all that evil.
Doctor Impossible
Hey. Um. Honey? I think that guy over there is Doctor Impossible.

Just a reminder that even super villains suck at information security.
Manu Saadia has a pretty good point in his latest piece in Citylab. I can’t quite think of the last Utopian novel I’ve read cover to cover.
A sobering moment was this paragraph.
It tells you something that when the most avowedly utopian franchise in modern entertainment, Star Trek, decided to showcase a future city in space (in 2016s Star Trek Beyond), it shot the exteriors in Dubai.

Not San Francisco, or suburban Los Angeles as we’d previously seen. Yeah, I would say we have an image problem. ????
Even Captain America became burnt out by the end of his MCU run.
