Same here, and I'm pretty sure that this sort of thing will soon
be impacting on TV ratings, if it hasn't already. (Considering
the slowness of transmission, though, I spend a fair amount of
that time doing other stuff while things are loading.)

The Chrysalids was very impressive, an entire post-atomic tiny
community created. (Speaking of which, Patricia C. Wrede, a
fantasy writer, has a website on fantasy world creation.) I am
back now with an M.C. Beaton book "Death of a Charming Man".
She has done a marvelous job of changing over from Regencies.
That isn't to belittle her Regencies, but I had begun to feel
that she was getting tired of doing them after some 150-200
books.
