I like that metaphor. Fizzing is definitely a good description of what I have been doing recently.

(Ahh, futuristic dystopian sci-fi. You have of course seen Logan's Run and Soylent Green?)

I have never seen either Logan's Run or Soylent Green; nor have I read any Asimov or Heinlein, or indeed really any classic sci-fi at all. I am secretly a Bad Sci-Fi Fan; I just do a good impression of knowing things ^_^

Your icon reminds me - this is the book I mentioned a while back with detective!Wilde. It seems that there's a new one due out next month - I think I shall try to read the first one before then, if I can pick up a cheap copy somewhere.

Oh what absolute crack! I have a feeling I'll respond to it as sacrilege, but it does look like an awful lot of fun...

Although in 1889 Wilde wasn't yet a celebrated playwright

It's less than a fiver on Amazon. And I'm a Wilde completist. That practically makes it my moral duty to buy it...
