Intriguing concepts to mull over at leisure

As much as I hate the 'Zon, my newest release is on sale for #AmazonPrimeDay so I'm gonna mention it. Part of the job and all. ;) If you've been waiting to snag a copy, today's the day. (You don't have to use Amazon. It's on sale everywhere.)

Since we seem to be reliving the 20th Century of late, and a lot of the worst parts, this seemed fitting for a #MemeMonday

I've done short #fiction collections, but today is my solo debut! #DRECK is a new #dreampunk #novella exploring the #tech of today through my own peculiar #PhilipKDick-esque lens. Thanks to #JeffNoon for the blurb!

Currently reading @chuckwendig's Wayward, and he just described this guy as having eyes like two cat buttholes, which is brilliantly vivid, but for fuck's sake, I'm never going to get that image out of my head.

Need a hug in a military SF wrapper?
I recommend KB Wagers's A PALE LIGHT IN THE BLACK and HOLD FAST THROUGH THE FIRE.

Eurovision in Space, written like Hitchhiker's Guide but more coherent.

Hidden Figures if a meteor took out DC and the Mercury 13 had better luck.

I’m really enjoying Murderbot Diaries - thanks to everyone who recommended them. They’re a fun change from my usual #CozyMysteries.

Just finished Veronica Roth's Poster Girl, which just keeps getting better as the story continues. She really looked the subject of the book in the eyes and never blinked, never flinched.
If you enjoy Naomi Alderman, this might be up your alley too.

And one more great 2022 story from a #Codexian. @slhuang wrote this one in the style of a journalist--think The Atlantic or Rolling Stone--and managed to rope in a lot of real stuff about AI, complete with hyperlinks. The story you think you're reading changes into a very different one. Loved it. #WritersOfMastodon #AuthorsOfMastodon #Writers #AmReading #AmReadingScienceFiction #AmReadingSciFi

More reading of #Codexian 2022 output, "A Dream of Electric Mothers" by Wole Talabi, in the Africa Risen anthology, is a very cool take on the uploading of consciousnesses set amidst rising conflict between two far-future nations roughly corresponding to Benin and Nigeria. The resolution of the interior arc was my favorite part. Available as a .pdf for SFWA members on the SFWA site. #WritersOfMastodon #AuthorsOfMastodon #WritingCommunity #Afrofuturism #AmReadingSciFi #AmReadingScienceFiction

Finished reading The Singer Distance last night. Finished it over 2-3 busy days, had a hard time putting it down.
It's kind of the anti-William Gibson; very light on world-building and technical hoo-hah even though it's in a counterfactual historical universe. Much more about emotional dynamics and meditations on what it means to communicate.

Well I read both Becky Chambers’ monk and robot novellas back to back and I am utterly charmed. And I would like to live in a small wagon and stop off to bathe in hot springs now and then #AmReading #AmReadingSciFi Next up: Babel
I’m behind in my reading, so for some this may be old news, but I just finished WE ARE FLYING by Alexandra Munck in the July issue of F&SF. What a beautiful story!

I #amReading “Winter’s Orbit” by Everina Maxwell (which, I guess, means I #amReadingSFF or I #amReadingSciFi depending on which hashtag is correct). This isn’t a book I would have chosen on my own; it’s for a #romance-centric book club which is exploring genres. I’m really enjoying it; the characters are well done and the plot is intriguing. I’m about halfway through and I want to see where this winds up.

2022 #ShortFiction catch-up: I really like this one by Samantha Murray. It says a lot obliquely. Dementia and imposter syndrome and imperfect relationships and aliens.

Excellent #shortstory by Evan Marcroft in the May/June 2022 issue of Asimov's: "Coyoteland." First encountered it on the crit loop. Strongly recommended. Unfortunately, only accessible to #Codexian s or Asimov's subscribers. Like an updated version of Zelazny's Damnation Alley, but with the trip being in the opposite direction. #dystopia #AmReadingScifi #Amreading #WritersofMastodon #AuthorsOfMastodon

This #shortstory is in-your-face, confronting issues of class and culture as well as gender in contemporary India. I wasn't expecting several of the twists. The characters felt very real; the pain raw. Strongly recommended.

@Marcociappelli I didn't want to read too many reviews of it, but so far it feels like necormancer fantasy in space, so fantasy/sci-fi crossover. With swords!
