A #somniscope is a device that allows you to experience the recorded dreams of others. It's a more direct version of the process of reading a story or watching a movie.
The main value of fiction is this ability to give people a shared experience. This power shapes culture, and indeed reality itself.

Reminds me of Courtney LoCicero's story "A Long-Awaited Interview" to appear in the #dreampunk collection #SOMNISCOPE next month!
"You trap us behind glass for the sake of communication, but your toys—he gestured to the tech attached to the tank—will not provide clarity."

#3GoodThings for today:
1. The manuscript for my multi-author #dreampunk collection #SOMNISCOPE is finally complete, including a frame story tying everything together!
2. The town I live in right now (Bryan, Texas) has a really nice selection of gluten-free baked goods. (I just ate a next-level chocolate chip cookie from Muriel's GF Bakery.)
3. Final edits are just about wrapped up for my debut #novella #DRECK, which is coming out really soon.

@DNA Indeed she is! She also has a story in #SOMNISCOPE, coming later this year from the same publisher.

@ancient_catbus Thanks! Right now I'm looking for bands that are actually calling themselves "dreampunk." This is what I did a few years back with indie authors using the term, and the results were pretty awesome. The second #dreampunk anthology #Somniscope will be coming out later this year.

MIT scientists built a power-glove to "hack your dreams." Looks like a real-life #Somniscope isn't too far off.

For those of you who've been paying attention, yes, #Somniscope is still coming soon. 😁 All the stories have been edited, and I'm currently moving through the frame story that ties everything together.

Today would have been the 94th birthday of visionary #SF author #PhilipKDick. He passed beyond the veil way back in 1982, far too soon. This portrait was done by a distinctive talent by the name of #BrentHouzenga without the aid of any sort of AI, using actual hands and paint and such! I met Brent at a #PKDFestival in Colorado, where Phil is buried. He later put together the cover art for #SOMNISCOPE, an upcoming #dreampunk anthology. So anyway, happy birthday, Phil! You are missed. #scifi #art

@bond Thank you!!! And if you enjoy it, I'm just putting the finishing touches on the follow-up anthology #SOMNISCOPE. It should be out in 2023.

Okay, here's my overdue #introduction post...
I'm a #JavaScript developer by day and a #fiction writer/editor by night (mostly #SF, #dreampunk in particular). I have a master's in #linguistics and taught in #Japan for a while. I love #art, #cooking, etc.
I'd like to connect with the #writingCommunity here, particularly since I seem to be making a habit of compiling #shortFiction anthologies. The first was #MIRRORMAZE, and a follow-up called #SOMNISCOPE is on the way.
