RIP

Sir George Martin.

Musician, producer, arranger, and above all mentor of the greatest composers of popular music the world has yet seen.

Sadness.

For a moment you got me scared that it was George RR Martin.

George double R is an ok writer, and I really like the telly series, but George Martin has a bigger presence in my world by an exponential factor.

I recently reread Iain M Banks' "Surface Detail". For sheer modern sci-fi nastiness and clever plotting, it's a bit difficult to beat. I would also recommend "Altered Carbon" by Richard K Morgan, though I haven't as yet seen the TV version.
