It's also difficult to judge a book when, uh, how do you say, you've been exposed to the things that were directly inspired by the book? The seed of an idea that other people have taken and either refined or completely poked holes in. Because some of the ideas in this book feel like things we all knew already.

Huh. There are reasons within the story why it might all be that way (unfair to judge when you've only read half of someone's book) but does this author have a problem with women?

Like, it's good for people to take risks, but I'm just imagining one of those motors flipping out and slamming the bike into him uncontrollably. Motorcycle protective gear would only go so far, but the man wasn't wearing any shoes.

Mate, I would not get on an experimental omnidirectional motorised bike that I had made to see if it balances properly without wearing at least a proper full sleeve leather jacket, if not knee and elbow pads and a helmet.
