Williamson appears to have been saving comments he posts around the internet thinking it is has inherent value of 2.99. Having Kindle Unlmited, it was a free read. This book is comprised of one to maybe four line comments he believes are witty and insightful. I can't say I found his comments to be either. I expected more from a published writer. William F. Buckley, Jr. he is not let alone Nitzsche.

I have given out very few one star reviews. I normally just don't say anything but this book has been nominated for a major award. It should not have been nominated as is seriously subpar. ( )

This is a Best Related Work Hugo nominee.

It's a collection of tweets from Williamson's Twitter feed. It's decently written, if you consider it as a collection of tweets.

It's not witty, informative, or in any way entertaining. Fatally for a Best Related Work Hugo nominee, it's not sf-related. The tone of it can pretty fairly be deduced from the fact of it's publisher: Patriarchy Press.

Do I have to say it? Not recommended. ( )

This is a collection of thoughts, mostly Tweets and comments to other people's blog posts I think, on the ballot for Best Related Work, where the slates managed to fill all five available slots.

Wisdom from my Internet is a really bad book. I will admit that I disagree with about 90% of Williamson's political statements; but even in the few cases where I don't, his style is just not very funny. More objectively, I've got a quarter of the way through and if there has been any actual reference to SF I have missed it. I prefer my Best Related Works to actually be, well, related. I don't think I will bother with the rest.

How interesting that the author is a mate of the slatemongers, and that it was not recommended by a single contributor to the crowdsourcing exercise (which we are repeatedly told was "100% open" and "democratic"), yet ended up on both slates anyway! It has reinforced my intention to vote "No Award" for this entire category.

This nomination really shows up the bad faith of those behind the slates. For all their complaints about cliques, political messages and works getting nominated which are of poor quality and are't sfnal enough, here they have done exactly what they accuse the imaginary cabal of doing. It is simply shameful. ( )
