This a very different kind of book. Think part tech manual, part science fiction, part alternative universe, and part I’m not sure what. I can see someone who is a sci-fi or tech nerd totally enjoying this book. It is well written and has a lot of good parts. Unfortunately for me, it is not … Continue reading H2LiftShips Volumes 1 & 2: a tech manual for a future – Imagine a world, exactly like ours, but different by Bob Freeman
