Hello!
I'm Dawn Vespero, an aspiring hobby writer and musician from Germany. This is my personal website, where you'll find information on pretty much everything I do and make.

"Take a look at your childrenDavid Bowie, "Oh! You Pretty Things"
See their faces in golden rays
Don't kid yourself, they belong to you
They're the start of the coming race
The earth is a bitch, we've finished our news
Homo sapiens have outgrown their use"
Now Reading:
Akwaeke Emezi
This should be very interesting. After Ulysses, I could use a good quick punch of depravity.
Books I read this year:
- William Gibson: "Mona Lisa Overdrive"
- 2025–??–?? — 2025-??-??
- Unfortunately, a pretty underwhelming conclusion to one of the most important series in modern sci-fi. Don't read the last chapter if you like Neuromancer.
- Tim O'Brien: "The Things They Carried"
- 2025-03-30 — 2025-04-16
- How To Tell A True War Story epitomizes the reasons I write stories.
- Sophocles: "Antigone"
- 2025-03-26 — 2025-03-30
- Sometimes, you're in the mood for a good tragedy.
- William Gibson: "Count Zero"
- 2025-03-03 — 2025-03-26
- A pretty engaging continuation for fans of Neuromancer. If not, it's still an entertaining read.
- Leon Christ: "Sauhund"
- 2025-01-29 — 2025-03-02
- Decent book, although the main character didn't have to be quite such an unlikable jackass.
- Liu Cixin: "Death's End"
- 2024-12-13 — 2025-01-27
- A great, impactful ending to an incredible series!
Now Listening:
Steely Dan
The cold season has me in the mood for some warm sunshiney music.
Albums I listened to recently:
-
Sprints: All That Is Over
- A nice energetic little post-punk album with a lot of attitude. May contain trace amounts of Model/Actriz.
-
Arctic Monkeys: Whatever People..., Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino, The Car
- I first listened to Tranquility years ago, but I'm glad I returned for more. For some bands, pose is their most valuable asset.
-
Deftones: private music
- Well, being a deftones fan was fun while it lasted. Great album, just not for me. Is there a community for people who only listen to White Pony and Ohms?
