Preventing an asteroid apocalypse, and the first arc of Cult of the Lamb concludes

Normally, a book described as being about a teenage love triangle wouldn't be something I would seek out, but I decided to give this one a chance after reading many rave reviews and was drawn to Louise Erdrich's prose immediately. There is a love triangle, yes, but The powerful red It's about much more than that. It covers a lot of ground, including the struggles of a farming community facing economic downturn, land degradation, and concerns about chemicals used to keep land productive.

The powerful red follows characters Crystal and Kismet, a mother and her daughter, and the people in their orbits in rural North Dakota. There's tragedy underlying much of the story (and a touch of the supernatural), but there's also a fair amount of humor mixed in.

Every once in a while I'm minding my own business, just going about my day, when I suddenly remember the terrifying possibility that a small asteroid could one day hit Earth and cause unfathomable damage. Ruined mood. This exact scenario is something that scientists have been researching for decades and coming up with tactics to prevent it. It is promising that they have made great progress in recent years. In How to kill an asteroid: the real science of planetary defenseScience journalist Robin George Andrews delves into ongoing efforts to develop a planetary defense strategy, such as asteroid redirection.

The beginning of this book seems like an apocalyptic nightmare, which is to say, it's quite fascinating. As Andrews moves from hypothetical to reality (the history and science the book is about), he keeps it interesting with a conversational writing style that makes even the jargon seem readable.

Despite being obsessed with Lamb WorshipIt took me a little while to start reading the comics, the first of which was released in June. However, I finally got my hands on issues #1-4 this week, after the fourth and final book of this arc was released, and they've been a lot of fun to read. The comics (so far) repeat the game's already established lore – how the Lamb came to lead a cult, why they are fighting the Bishops of the Old Faith, etc. – but there are some new things to hold on to even for the people who already know the story very well. At least, new to me (did you know Clauneck is a duck?).

Running a cult is a complicated thing, as anyone who has played the game can attest, and the comics address the emotional ins and outs of that burden. It's as cute but scary as you'd expect. Lamb Worship comical to be.
