"The Wetworks Miracle is an eco-horror epic in the skin of a novella, a dazzling, dreadful plunge into ... terrors of the sort that one might find in a China Miéville novel or a film by Guillermo Del Toro." - E.G. Condé, author of Sordidez.
THE WETWORKS MIRACLE is out at the end of the month there's still time to get your order in!

Just wanted to share bits of THE WETWORKS MIRACLE'S many 5-star reviews. I couldn't fit them all on this graphic. If you're a horror reviewer, don't sleep on this book! and please help us get the word out - it's an incredible first book by a brand new Latino author. https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/820338

A spoked beast, craving skin.
I love to tattoo this beast on someone. Been encouraged to design some bigger pieces, and I want to use that opportunity to explore more biopunk-sque themes like I do in my personal work.

Wie gesagt, gerade #TheTaintedCup abgeschlossen. Was für ein mörderisches #BioPunk #Fantasy Brett! Der #Thriller knallte so, dass ich direkt #ADropofCorruption bestellen musste. I denke gerade, seit #ASoIaF (1-3) hat mich kein Genrebuch so gerockt?! Ich will wissen, wie es weitergeht! #booksky

Ep. 131: Greg Bear – Blood Music
Denne måned har vi stukket pipetten direkte ned i biopunk fra 80’erne og læst Greg Bears Blood Music – en roman, hvor forsøg med intelligente celler resulterer i body horror og en biologisk transformation af hele Nordamerika! -

le #wokepunk serait peut être la version plus politique du #solarpunk ( trop techno #energie )
j'aime bien aussi la version #biopunk d' alain #damasio, pas celle d'un #biohack punk (genre #ogm ou #transhumaniste ) mais bien celle de biopunk en temps que mouvement révolutionnaire pour le vivant
et le wokepunk serait plus dur à récupérer par le #capitalisme

This is @tarek speaking to #DemocracyNow from Khan Younis today. Dr Tarek Loubani is a former #cccamp and #32c3 speaker, and an absolute hero. He's been working in #Gaza for many years, and also making open source alternatives to overpriced medical equipment, especially the kind you use in disaster areas.

#Reading was down this month, I'm not sure why. Maybe five months of elevated reading times after getting the Kobo Sage and installing KOReader is just wearing off. Instead of doing two full novels each week and filling in with shorter works, I'll try doing just one.

2024-05: 20 ss | 08 nvt | 02 nva | 07 nov⬙ = Atlantis and Lemuria: 13 Classic Tales
⬖ = Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers[1] Another #koReader first. Longest title, at 49 characters long: Grover: Case #C09 920, “The Most Dangerous Blend”. This meant stretching a 106-screen (39p in original epub) over five days. I'll just shorten calendar names henceforth; in this case that would have been "Dangerous Blend" at two days wide.
[2] H Rider Haggard's _When the World Shook_ (1919) was very similar to Erle Cox's _Out of the Silence_ (1919 serialized, 1925 novel).
_Shook_ has two people, a young woman and an older man, found underground in crystal coffins; they were in suspended animation from 250,000 years ago, the man claims. The man was a ruler, and expresses a desire to wipe out the lesser civilization of today, as he did those who refused to bow to him in the past. The woman and the man who found her fall in love. Both ancient individuals die in the end.
_Silence_ had a man find an underground metal chamber. After getting past the booby traps, he awakens a young woman from ancient, pre-catacylsmic times. (The older man is later found in another sphere.) Again, the older man plans to rule Earth, and the woman falls for the modern man. Both ancient individuals die in the end.
I liked _Out of the Silence_ better. No third of the book wasted in setup. It also has more of a point: Both the ancient young woman and the old man are casually racist against "the coloured races," but the narrator is not, and it's clear the point is to highlight how European colonists are mistreating indigenous Australians.
_When the World Shook_ has the young woman sacrificing herself to save the world, and the man she loves. It turns out that, when suspended, your soul is free to be reincarnated. The modern man who found her contains the soul of the man she loved, whom her father had killed because he was a commoner leading the revolt of the masses against the "Children of Wisdom" who ruled them. And the modern man's wife, who died early in the book, was the most recent receptacle of the ancient woman's soul.
Oh, by the way, the word "Atlantis" shows up exactly once in the novel, and only in a "I heard of another place that was destroyed and submerged beneath the waves" sense. It's not used to describe where the sleepers came from.
