  1. 🚀 Behold, the mind-blowing revelation that science fiction writer Robert J. Sawyer still clings to #WordStar like a beloved, ancient artifact while the rest of the world moved on without him. Apparently, his keyboard is a time machine stuck in 1996, but hey, at least it’s plug-and-play for Windows! 😂🔌

  3. Hominids by Robert J. Sawyer: 📚 21/2025: I was quite thrown off by the introductions of the two primary female characters. Not what I’ve come to expect from these more recent Hugo winners, and I won’t be continuing on with this series. ⭐️⭐️ michaelhans.com/eclecticism/20

  4. WordStar, an MS-DOS-based word-processing program released in 1978, was loved by writers as diverse as Ralph Ellison, Anne Rice, and George R.R. Martin, because of its ability to capture the long-hand writing experience. Now, we can all give it a try thanks to Robert J. Sawyer, a Hugo- and Nebula-winning author who has released a complete archive of the program, along with MS-DOS emulators and all its manuals. Here's more from Gizmodo.

  9. Damn I hope this is good. My most recent 'version' of #Oppenheimer the man is the fictionalised version presented in #RobertJSawyer's novel #TheOppenheimerAlternative, and I loved it. Keen to see how #ChristopherNolan brings him and the scientists and families of Los Alamos back to life.

  11. Predictive Frameshift

    I've been thinking a lot about Robert J. Sawyer's Quantum Night the last few months. It links human cruelty, psychopathy, and mob behavior to the nature of consciousness, mostly focusing on the main characters but playing out against a global crisis brought on by a rising tide of xenophobia. More recently, I've been thinking about Frameshift. His 1997 novel deals with (among other things) eugenics, Neanderthals, Nazis, and health insurance companies doing everything they can to avoid […]
