It’s fun to read a sci-fi book referencing was-future dates that are now in the past. Ray Bradbury’s book “The Martian Chronicles” was written at the start of the atomic age in 1951 at the height of the Hollywood Blacklist era and Cold War paranoia.
Mick Herron’s book Slow Horses was recommended to me by a work colleague who’s read the entire series. I also understand from him that there is an Apple TV adaptation of it with Gary Oldman. I enjoyed it – it’s the first espionage thriller I’ve read in recent years other than John Le Carré.
