But instead of heading to Hollywood after the end of the pulps, Edmond ended his long career at DC Comics. She died from cancer in 1978, but not before turning in the first draft script for what would become ‘The Empire Strikes Back’. Although her script was rewritten by others, many key elements remain.

…he told his secretary to “get this guy Brackett.” She then left for Hollywood, leaving a half-finished tale for ‘Planet Stories’, ‘Lorelei of the Red Mist’. She asked her good friend to complete it for her, which Ray Bradbury did seamlessly. Her husband was another SF/F writer of the era, Edmond Hamilton.

The great science fiction writer Leigh Brackett was #BOTD
The “Queen of Space Opera” wrote SF/F for the pulps of the 1940s and 1950s. In 1944 she wrote her first mystery novel, which came to the attention of legendary director Howard Hawks. When Hawks needed help on an adaptation of Raymond Chandler’s ‘The Big Sleep’…

My first book was on transhumanism. I'm currently working on a book provisionally entitled *The Radical 90s: The Informatics of Domination and The Infrastructures of Utopia, 1984-1999*, which re-considers the legacy of Internet Utopianism during the 1990s with a focus on #CyberPunk, #CyberFeminism, and #InfrastructureStudies (and lots of memes). There are chapters on *Akira*, *Jurassic Park*, and *The Matrix*, amongst others.
I'm also passionate about minimal writing software. I do all my academic writing in #Neovim using #Pandoc #Markdown. I use #Linux whenever possible. I'd be perfectly happy never using a computer mouse again.
