This fall I have been quite busy, but soccer is winding down for the season and I just got back from visiting family. Updates (hopefully) will be a bit more frequent.
This update includes two very timely tales, both from the September/October issue of Uncanny Magazine.
- In “A Sigilary for the Median Human in the Gearwrack” Ken Liu tells the tale of a worker who resists using AI in their writing. It is timely, rebellious, and engaging, touching on such topics as art, expression, wealth, and language.
- Seanan McGuire’s “Children of Calliope” is in the spirit of Ray Bradbury and George Orwell. After a long and effective spate of censorship, a young girl longs to learn what no one will teach her. This one is propulsive and hits close to home for readers. Everyone needs to read it!
