Finished Bee Speaker

I believe the theme of this book is "the road to hell" with a side order of "best laid plans". the plans of the Griffin Bunker's founder were not laid very well. His own paranoia did him in, plus, he sounds like a thoroughly unlikeable person. His ultimate fate was grisly, but you can't say he didn't deserve it.

Come to think of it, Mars' plan to rescue Earth!Bees wasn't very well-thought-out either. Well, that's the good intentions. A little more time, or, indeed, any time in reconnaissance would've gone a long way.

For some reason the "grew up without central heating" article redirects to something completely different.

It should go here: https://theconversation.com/i-grew-up-in-the-worlds-coldest-city-without-central-heating-heres-what-the-world-can-learn-from-us-271657

I think I fixed it.

What's up with that second link, about central heating? It doesn't go where it says it should go.

Weird. I’ll have to fix it at home.

It should go here, and I think I fixed it: https://theconversation.com/i-grew-up-in-the-worlds-coldest-city-without-central-heating-heres-what-the-world-can-learn-from-us-271657
