I followed this as it unfolded on his Twitter account (https://twitter.com/scalzi). He has a way of taking some small experience or observation and turning it into a great little story or one-liner. He's written some good sci-fi, too.

Worth following.

Also worth checking out: the comment from "toyko uber story" on an insane Black Car Uber ride in Japan (scroll down, it's currently 6th from the bottom).

Agreed! That story was an unexpectedly hilarious find in the comments. Direct link to that comment: https://whatever.scalzi.com/2019/07/23/my-300-mile-lyft-ride...

Only after reading this article and then looking at his bio did I put together that this is the author of the Old Man's War series. I think I made it to the 4th or 5th book in the series and it's an enjoyable read
