Okay, finally back to finishing up my 2025 short fiction reading before submitting a Nebula ballot. I really liked this one. A bittersweet cli-fi relationship story by Christopher Blake.

I loved the format on this short story: I could see where it was going the whole time, but the step-by-step gave it an emotional punch it wouldn't have otherwise had. Recommended reading.

A story with a very cool format that imagines co-working as augmented by neural sharing. Definitely worth your time to check this out. Free click.

In Ída Hennessy's "A Slightly Different Sunrise from Mercury, Nevada," Annie works as a "Canary" at the Nevada nuclear test site, at a time portal bringing tourists back to 1952. Multiple unexpected gut punches. Strongly recommended.

More Codex2024 reading: Ída Hennessy's RoxysMakeupMoxy6 Gets Real" was very funny. A makeup tips influencer doing her last show before the apocalypse. Strongly recommended flash piece.

More Codex 2024 reading: "Eternity is Moments" by RP Sand traces the relationship between a woman and her grandfather with ecological themes as the backdrop. Strongly recommended.

Fiona Moore's "What Happened at The Pony Club" has a cool premise--Y2K knocked out all computers worldwide and the world reverts to depending on smart people. Cool characters--girls at a private high school for these "computers." Cool format--an FBI case file.

Continuing with Codex 2024 short fiction catch-up, Angela Liu's "Before We Were Born" uses a near-future, cyberpunky conceit to examine tensions within a modern family. The twist at the end was terrific. Strongly recommended.

Cécile Cristofari's braided narrative, "Down the Waterfall," uses a time travel conceit to allow her protagonist to examine her life, live out fantasies, and find what is important to her. Very interesting. Strongly recommended.

Andrew Sayre's "You Look a Lot Like Aton Fuller" is a perspective I haven't seen: an adult clone, grown for spare parts for a rich man, freed when that practice became untenable, musing about this man upon his death. Definitely thought-provoking. Highly recommended.

Renan Bernardo's "A Theory of Missing Affections" has an Ursula Le Guin vibe. A home planet, a distant planet with the ruins of an ancient civilization, a gate that connects them, and sisters on either side: one a historian, one viewing the ancients as gods.

Spencer Nitkey's "Eternal Recurrence" blends musing on Nietzche, comments on the unreality of advanced technology, and grief into a beautiful paxtische. Strongly recommended .

The latest from a press that has published a couple of my stories recently. This looks very good. I know a lot of people in the table of contents--you won't go wrong with this one if you enjoy speculative fiction.

I need some good reading. Anyone have recommendations for good Sci-Fi and Fantasy novels that are hopeful and encouraging? #amreadingfantasy #amreadingscifi

The new copies of Rights of Use are in the DragonCon vendor hall, booth 1320!

@jwilker

I’m reading ‘Descendant Machine’, second book in ‘The Continuance’ by British author Gareth L. Powell. Fast paced and full of the unexpected as one would expect from this BSFA award winning author.

The third book ‘Future’s Edge’ is now available for preorder.

Taking a non-fiction break after Chaotic Neutral.

This came up on sale in my Kobo wishlist so giving it a shot. Enjoying it so far! The blurb doesn't mislead.

2023 #ShortFiction catch-up: Neat story by @DJ_Cockburn that uses ancient DNA and artificial wombs to create #Denisovan children and do the classic "forbidden experiment" of watching development sans adults. Recommended.

The Rail Gun I designed for the cover art of The Planetwalker. I think it became pretty cool.

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.)
