We're oddly in sync. I read Revelator a few books ago (after it was itching to be read for years and somehow never got its turn.) Excellent. I'm also excited about Gregory's upcoming novel When We Were Real, teased on his website. It's about a group of people taking a road trip in a world that's known to be a simulation.
Huh, super interesting -- I can't wait for that new Gregory book then! Right up my alley :) I didn't know about that 5 books article, fab link -- it was purely a coincidence that I read Gnomon and then Rakesfall, and I was certainly struck by the similarities (see my Recs detail post). I better read the others he recs, they are on my list but hadn't gotten there yet. Moving them up!

And my last read was Harkaway's Titanium Noir (which was just OK.)
I wonder why you've paired Rakesfall and Gnomon. Is it because of Chandrasekera's Five Books article?

er, to clarify, Nona and Piranesi are already favs, it's the 2 I haven't read that i'm moving up :)

FYI, Gen3 from RunwayML is out of closed testing and available to try, but I think only text (not image) init.
