@IanMoore3000 indeed. And your loved one might have various thoughts about a good duplicate, much worse ones if it was duplicitous.

Hotline is very worth reading.

🚨 BREAKING: Flogging Babel bloggers astound the internet with their unparalleled ability to create a baffling #mashup of dates and gibberish in a tribute to John Varley, who's apparently already time-traveled beyond 2023. 🕰️ Did they accidentally leak the plot of his next book, or is this just a masterclass in digital clutter? 📚💥

Just read that John Varley, who I've long considered my favourite sci-fi author, died a few days ago. His early output - the Gaea trilogy and early Eight Worlds stuff, up to and including Steel Beach (1992) - was incredible. He wrote slowly after that, but it was all quite good.

If you have never read Varley, give him a shot.

Edit: typo fix

Just finished updating the @norwescon historical archives with a new, high-quality scan of an original 1978 #NWC1 program book autographed by #TheodoreSturgeon, #AlanENourse, #PoulAnderson, #JFBone, #VondaNMcIntyre, #HWarnerMunn, #SydneyJVanScyoc, and #JohnVarley!

This is a really neat bit of #Norwescon history, and the first time I'd seen one of these in person. I knew they were small, but I hadn't really realized how small until I got to scan this one in.

Some technical notes: The book was scanned in at 300 dpi, OCR'd and manually corrected for accuracy, and the final PDF is fully tagged for accessibility and verified with PAC as meeting both PDF/UA and WCAG 2.2 standards.
