Chiming in with more love here… I’ve read both books, definitely recommend them, and I’m looking forward to the movie-- I might even hit the theaters for this one, and I rarely go out for movies these days.

Came here for the Paranoia rpg references and was not disappointed!

If we’re talking clones and rpgs, TSR’s Bughunter rpg from the mid-90s has another fun run at the idea. Clones as space marines “signed up” by their original selves, then sent out to get mauled by every kind of scifi alien baddie.

Love a good clone-hijinx scifi story. Looking forward to seeing Mickey 17!

As I enjoyed Glasshouse by Charlie Stross, I will get this novel next on my Kindle. But alas, I no longer go to cinemas. Looking forward to renting it when it hits the online stores.

I was sold the moment I read this a few weeks back, although the premise sounds to have a lot in common with moon.

Fair. I get that fear.
The Dresden-verse is more of what I’d worry about.
People love it, but as it gets bigger and bigger it gets away from the fast paced and punchy earlier stuff. The shorts and compilations bring a lot of that energy back, maybe he can do something similar: still in universe, but not a big over arching plot line. The plots can be as expendable as the cast.
