I recently rediscovered the british #scifi author John Brunner. I picked up "Web of everywhere" for 1€ at the Bücherrettung at #MetropolCon / #Eurocon. In my youth his 4 novels from his so called "Club of Rome Quartett" were my holy grail. The "Web ..." novel is rather short, but it delivers.
These books are from the 70s. But still relevant, maybe more than ever. So yes: John Brunner stays one of my all time heroes. -
In this episode we deal with a veritably bulging mailbag before diving back into the WSFS Business Meeting and bringing you all the HOTTEST GOSSIP. Who was the best-dressed? What was controversial about a jar of jam? And why are bees?

Made it home after my first #EuroCon and #MetropolCon, where I met a lot of nice people, saw interesting talks and panels, had a lovely dinner yesterday and am now full to the brim with ideas. Thank you all for that! #MetropolCon2026 #EuroCon2026

Fazit: gerne wieder!

#Metropolcon #Eurocon is over and what a wonderful con it was. One evening left in Berlin, then home for a little while before the next adventure!

Wracam z #eurocon2026 w Berlinie. Trzy tematy wracały uparcie, prawie na każdej prelekcji i panelu:
- Chiny, ich wpływ lub autopromocja w Europie (której tutaj też było sporo)
- ejaj, na wszystkie sposoby - od niezrozumienia tematu, przez awersję, przez wykorzystanie praktyczne do wstępnego przesiewania danych, po hurraoptymistyczne wizje (też oparte na niezrozumieniu tematu )
- Elon Musk i kolejne zepsute przez niego "collective commons"Konwent sci-fi i fantasy, ale jak widać niektóre tematy przesiąkają teraz każdą dziedzinę życia.

On our way back home from #MetropolCon #Eurocon. A bit early, but you know b/c reasons. We had a tremendous time. Besides all the great panels, the excellent organisation and welcoming atmosphere it were all the wonderful people we met, that made this a very special Week for us. You all stay being yourself. You're awesome.

OH in a session on #SciFi concepts: „Break it till you make it.“ And I think this fits perfectly for pentesting and #ITSec, too. ;) #MetropolCon #MetropolCon2026 #EuroCon #EuroCon2026 #Writing

Now a panel on tropes with Liv Storm, Rafaela Creydt and October K. Santerelli. #MetropolCon #MetropolCon2026 #EuroCon #EuroCon2026 #Writing #WritingCraft #book #books

Early morning on day 4 at #MetropolCon #EuroCon. „Looking back to go forward: humankind's past as source of credible ideas for utopian SF“ by Anette Schaumlöffel will start in a few minutes. I‘m very much looking forward to this. :) #SciFi #Writing #History #Utopia #MetropolCon2026 #EuroCon2026

Another interesting discussion here at #MetropolCon #EuroCon with @t_matam_t, Anette Schaumlöffel and Mary Stormhouse on Hero*ines in Utopia - what to do with loner protagonists in community-positive stories? #writing #utopia #MetropolCon2026 #EuroCon2026

Some higlights from #MetropolCon, #EuroCon in #Berlin so far. I'll be looking out for author Aiki Mira, they have got things to say and say them in interesting ways. Though apperently her works are still only available in german and french.

Just met Bruce Schneier @Schneier_rss at #EuroCon #MetropolCon. Quick Hello between sessions. :) #MetropolCon2026 #EuroCon2026
-
And now a session on bilingual writing. I‘m curious how others do it (and if there’s a way to be quicker - without using AI). #MetropolCon #metropolCon2026 #EuroCon #EuroCon2026 #writing

After a quite chaotic try to participate in a workshop session on cross-border-cooperation (after the second (or third?) group split I gave up), I‘m now seeing quite an interesting panel on #SciFi and #Philosophy. Back to the roots for me. =) #EuroCon #MetropolCon #EuroCon2026 #MetropolCon2026

"Unearthing" übrigens eine sehr schöne ScFi Hörspiel Miniserie. Hab es schon durch gehört. Gleich um 14 Uhr auf dem #MetropolCon #Eurocon Folge 1 gemeinsam hören und anschließend Gespräch mit Autor Erik Wunderlich. Hoffe ich kann meine Frage loswerden.
Hier mal Link zum Hörspiel:

Yesterday at #MetropolCon #Eurocon James Bacon briefly talked about Batman choking an ICE agent. I looked it up and it seems to be a one shot in the Ultimate Batman 2025 Annual. I found a blog post about it here:
Just to make it very clear: I like the picture of Johnson, where Batman fights the ICE agent. Not the Dixon version.

Today at #Metropolcon2026 I was allowed to give an update on what’s possible with AI and which uses are better ideas than others. In the afternoon I had the honour to be on a panel with Neil Clarke, Mikko Rauhala, Cora Buhlert and Sheri Singerling: Generative AI and Publishing - A Bad Mix? #AI #GenAI #Publishing #Writing #Translation #AuthorBusiness #Publishers #Metropolcon #Eurocon #Eurocon2026

This really is a rather wonderful #Eurocon in Berlin. The vibe is so good and so many people from around the world in shared hope and joy for genre and the future.

@vampirdaddy A #Fediverse goes #MetropolCon and #EuroCon meet-up would be nice! I‘ve briefly met @Otherland-Bookshop and seen @cstross yesterday. Just found @Aiki_Mira on the fediverse (yay!!!). Also seen @t_matam_t on site. Is @tomhillenbrand here? Anyone else at #MetropolCon2026 / #EuroCon2026 ?
