OrbitalBook Samantha Harvey

loved

This is going to be an odd post, just a too-long passage from a book I’m reading: Orbital, by Samantha Harvey. But hey, it’s the holidays. Harvey describes Orbital as a “space pastoral.” It is set on the International Space Station, inhabited by six astronauts whose thoughts Harvey dips into from time to time, but mostly the book is reflections on earth and humanity from the collective perspective of orbit. There are so many beautiful passages worth sharing, but this one about politics seems particularly appropriate.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The small bar beside a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The bar shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Full and green is recent. It drains, and turns amber and then grey, as the post gets older.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The bar is empty after about:

A striped bar means the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no bar.
