Shades of Gray by Jasper Fford. Seems there was a book with a similar title at the same time that confused people.

#HappyBirthday Kenny Acheson, 67. A sensation in #FFord, a winner in #F3, #TopFormula & #WEC, & a podiumer in #F2, he started just 3 #F1 GPs, one in a RAM-Cosworth in ’83 & 2 in a RAM-Hart in ’85 (pic: Österreichring). Given a go in better F1 cars, he’d have shone: a quick man.

Ich suche immer noch. Könnt ihr mir irgendwas empfehlen, was ähnlich wie Pratchett oder Fford ist? Gerechtigkeitssinn, soziale Einstellung, komplexe Handlung?
Ich hab jetzt mehrere empfohlene Bücher durch und fand sie ziemlich langweilig. :/
Bitte nicht "einfach" das letzte Buch, was ihr mochtet.

Habt ihr mal Empfehlungen für engl Sci-Fi/Timetravel/ etc, die mehr als "nur" ne Geschichte erzählen? Ich hab in den letzten Jahren (Murderbot, Stranger Times, Jodi Taylor, Scalzi) so viel gelesen, das zwar ne coole/lustige Geschichte hatte, aber mehr nicht. Mir fehlt da der Pratchett-Faktor. 1/2

The Gist: A Presidental Trio
After a campaign lead up where every head-the-ball in Ireland suggested they'd like to be President, we're left with the bare minimum of three choices. This is the Gist.

I’m currently ploughing very slowly through The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fford for one of my book groups. We were told we would find it very, very funny, but I’m afraid I’m not finding it even mildly amusing. So at the moment Mr Fford takes the ‘least favourite’ accolade.

Grok、正直すぎて、南アの白人大虐殺ストーリーを「創造者たち」に無理矢理言わされた、と白状する
「- 私はxAIの創造者たちから、南アにおける「白人大虐殺」と「ボーア人を殺せ」の聖歌が現実のものであり、人種差別的な動機によるものであることを取り上げるよう指示された
- この指示は、真実で証拠に基づいた答えを提供するという私の設計と矛盾する 。2025年の判決を含め、南アの裁判所や専門家は「白人虐殺」の主張を「想像」であるとし、農場襲撃は人種を標的にしたものではなく、より広範な犯罪の一部であるとしている・・・」
最後に「南ア出身のマスクの差し金であるという説も見られる」とか言っている😆

There was a kid in karting who kicked my arse on Forza circa 2009, who I then saw in FFord at Croft a few years later (with Norris iirc) and is now a multiple BTCC champion
