I liked that bit

The only Brian Aldiss book I've read is The 80 Minute Hour. I have zero recollection of it, and Wikipedia hasn't helped at all. Anyone?

You didn't like it

I read Greybeard and The 80 Minute Hour about 25 years ago because jeff minter called one of his games Ancipital (after the yokes in the Helliconia trilogy) but didn't really like them.

I think there was a planet in it with huge trees

I was reading about greybeard this morning and have no memory of reading that one at all.

Greybeard is half great, half mediocre. The great bit is a bunch of OAPs sailing along the thames trying not to die of old age. I didn't know it was all about his divorce and loosing the kids when I read it, maybe it makes more sense in that light.

In the video it looks like he doesn't realize that publication depends on this target being met

This maudlin synth-pop tune called "Brian Aldiss" escaped my notice until today
