"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel.”
Same is true in the sky above Colorado, thanks to all the wildfire smoke drifting this way. Awful air quality that you can feel in your throat, feels apocalyptic.

#NinaMunteanu Talks to CBC About #Solarpunk (in #Toronto and Elsewhere)
May 3, 2026
Excerpts:
"On the Emerging Solarpunk Movement in Toronto:
When asked about whether there is a solarpunk movement in Toronto, I said absolutely! #SolarpunkToronto is an emerging movement focused on building a #sustainable, #equitable future through #CommunityAction, #GreenArchitecture, and #RenewableEnergy, specifically tailored for the city’s urban environment. It includes initiatives like sustainable fashion shows, community meetings, and innovative #storytelling, aimed at merging environmental activism with optimistic technology. The mantra is to achieve a regenerative sustainable urban future.
I mentioned #LindsayJane of the Solarpunk Scene (Youtube videos on Solarpunk projects in Toronto) and Ariel of Solarpunk Presents with podcast interviews on solarpunk efforts. People can find community on the Solarpunk Facegroup group. I also talked about the #TorontoSolarpunkMeetup at the #CentreForSocialInnovation, where they practice ' #PrefigurativeLife ’: living as if the #SustainableFuture already exists. Which it does, though not everywhere.
This reminds me of #cyberpunk science fiction author #WilliamGibson’s famous quote: The future is already here; it’s just not evenly distributed.
Examples of solarpunk initiatives practiced by individuals and small communities include the use of #CommunityGardens, setting up and looking after #RooftopGardens or #raingardens. Tenants can have a #PollinatorGarden on their patio and set up a #BalconySolar panel (now very affordable). People are going electric; some are setting up solar rooftops or balconies. Groups and individuals are engaging in clothing swaps and sustainable fashion runways.
Community-led trusts are involved in repairing items for reuse instead of adding to the throw-away culture. In my book #ADiaryInTheAgeOfWater the diarist’s mother Una rides her bike all over the community, repairing all kinds of things for a community that has lost its ability to do so; something we’re losing in this digital age.
On a Solarpunk Future:
We discussed the feasibility of a city like Toronto becoming 100% solarpunk. My response was a wary yes. Of course it was possible. But, in my opinion, two things have to happen for this to succeed: 1) the willingness of individuals in a community to give up a consumer-led capitalist lifestyle and adopt a lighter gentler footprint; and 2) community and city leaders to be on board with it. The enthusiastic cooperation of leaders cannot be overstressed for a paradigm shift toward a solarpunk future to succeed."

#PhantastikPrompts 30.7.: Lesetipps bitte: Welche (fantastischen) Romane haben dich in letzter Zeit begeistert?
»Tom’s Crossing« von #MarkZDanielewski (bin gespannt, ob der auf Deutsch kommt).
Die Bridge-Trio von #WIlliamGibson.
»Tower Dungeon« (bisher 5 Ausgaben auf Englisch) von #TsutomuNihei.
Long London 2 »I Hear A New World« von #AlanMoore.
Menno! Nur Männer {schäm}.
Dafür dominieren die Damen derzeit meine Sachbuchlektüren. -
@chrisstoecker Kaum etwas erhellt ideengeschichtlich die neoliberale Wende der 70er/80er so deutlich wie die #Cyberpunk-Bespiegelung eines Pioniers wie #WilliamGibson.
Es bereitet mir schon lange große Sorge, dass Phantastik meist ein tragisch-dummes Schizo-Dasein zugewiesen wird: als #Blödmaschinen-Spektakel willkommen, ansonsten zumeist Tabu, grad wenn es um das geht, was als ›Weltbilder‹ u.a. idententitäts- und projekte-formend wirkt.
Deshalb also Merci für diesen m.E. wichtigen Beitrag.

"The sky above the port was the color of television, tuned to a dead channel."
"Neuromancer" will be ten episodes and is set to premiere on January 22, 2027 on Apple TV.
Hopefully this adaptation stays true to what William Gibson put on paper back in 1984.

Apple TV przejmuje San Diego Comic-Con. Legendarny „Neuromancer” z datą premiery i nowe zwiastuny sci-fi
Apple pokazało w San Diego, że traktuje segment science-fiction śmiertelnie poważnie. Zapowiedź tytułu uważanego za niemożliwy do ekranizacji brzmi dobrze.
Podczas dwugodzinnego panelu w słynnej Hali H zaprezentowano pierwszą oficjalną datę premiery adaptacji kultowej powieści „Neuromancer”, zwiastun drugiego sezonu „Mrocznej materii” oraz zapowiedź komedii akcji z Johnem Ceną.
Święty Graal cyberpunka wreszcie trafia na ekran
Książka Williama Gibsona z 1984 roku ukształtowała współczesne postrzeganie wirtualnej rzeczywistości, hakerów i wielkich korporacji, dając podwaliny pod takie hity jak „Matrix”. Przez dekady branża filmowa uważała ten tytuł za niemożliwy do ekranizacji, jednak Apple podjęło rękawicę.
W roli głównej – hakera Case’a, który wraz z zabójczynią Molly próbuje powalić potężną dynastię korporacyjną – zobaczymy Calluma Turnera. Pierwszy sezon potrwa 10 odcinków, a jego oficjalną premierę wyznaczono na 22 stycznia 2027 roku. Platforma podzieliła się już pierwszym krótkim teaserem produkcji, pokazując mroczny, gęsty klimat nadchodzącego widowiska.
„Mroczna materia” wraca z 2. sezonem i wykracza poza książkę
Kolejną mocną kartą zaprezentowaną w San Diego był pełny zwiastun drugiego sezonu „Mrocznej materii” (Dark Matter). Pierwsza seria, oparta na bestsellerowej powieści Blake’a Croucha, zadebiutowała w 2024 roku i zamknęła historię przedstawioną w papierowym oryginale.
Nowe odcinki trafią na platformę już pod koniec sierpnia 2026 roku. Co ciekawe, fabuła nowej serii wykracza poza materiał z książki, ale za wszystkie scenariusze nadal odpowiada sam Blake Crouch. Zwiastun jednoznacznie sugeruje, że problem zwielokrotnionych alternatywnych rzeczywistości i sklonowanych wariantów głównego bohatera dopiero się zaczyna.
Komedia akcji z Johnem Ceną i ofensywa Apple na rynku streamingu
Ostatnim z kluczowych materiałów był zwiastun filmu „Matchbox”, który zadebiutuje na platformie w październiku 2026 roku. Produkcja z Johnem Ceną w roli głównej jest luźno oparta na marce kultowych resoraków i serwuje klasyczną formułę komedii sensacyjnej – pełną pościgów, helikopterów i spisków z CIA w tle.
Obecność Apple na tegorocznym Comic-Conie była największą w historii firmy. Wykupienie dwugodzinnego bloku w Hali H i zaprezentowanie fragmentów takich produkcji jak „Silo” czy „Widows Bay” dowodzi, że gigant z Cupertino zamierza zdominować rynkową niszę ambitnego kina gatunkowego.

OK, so something's bugging me about the Neuromancer trailer.
IMDb says Mark Strong plays Armitage. And based on glimpses in the trailer, it's definitely Mark Strong on screen.
But I'm almost certain it's Lance Henriksen's voice (although IMDb says he's *not* in it). Am I going mad?

The first teaser for Neuromancer is looking really, really good! Didn't expect to get hyped, but this is one of my favorite novels and they might actually nail it. We'll find out in January.

Two Cyberpunk shows are coming and I am super excited. This is probably my favourite sub-genre of SF.
Blade Runner 2099 was shifted from 2027 to November 2026 likely due to the fact that Neuromancer was announced as coming in January 2027.
For Neuromancer I’m only concerned that the lead doesn’t look sick and wasted enough as Case. I can get over that.
Unfortunately, I’ve already seen people on ShitTube saying Neuromancer’s Molly shouldn’t be a person of colour and apparently Blade Runner 2099 is terrible and garbage because of women.
No one has seen either show.
I really fucking just can’t with these toxic arseholes masquerading as fans.
Me, ima watch the shit out of both, fuck the haters.

Gibson Riffs
William Gibson riffs on writing and the future
So I would recommend that people read a lot, and as broadly as possible, and then I would suggest that people write a lot. You have to have written a very good deal in order to become really good at it. And if you do it often enough and pay sufficient attention, you’re much more likely to get somewhere than if you don’t.

Feddich mit »Virtuell Light« (1993; Dt. von Peter Robert), Band 1 der #BridgeTrilogy von #WilliamGibson. Großer Spaß, u.a. weil ich immer wieder vergesse, wie lustig und berührend Gibson erzählt, den ja ein Nimbus umflort, ein arg kühler und distanzierter Autor zu sein.
Unter anderem so geht Marken-versessene #PopLiteratur im Near-Future-SF-Gewandt, wenn sie nicht gutbürgerlich bescheuert ist. Zudem richtiggehend spooky, wie erstaunlich gut der Roman gealtert ist. -
Lesen bildet: #LifeHack
{Rydell} öffnete den Eisschrank und nahm ein Litergefäß aus Plastik mit Schnappverschluß und einem Streifen Tesakrepp an der Seite heraus. Auf das Kreppband hatte er mit dicken Marker »MILCH-EXPERIMENT« geschrieben.
»Was ist das denn?«, fragte Hernandez.
»Milch.«
»Weshalb steht da ›Experiment‹ drauf?«
»Damit sie keiner trinkt. Hab ich mir im Wohnheim auf der {Polizei}Akademie ausgedacht.«— #WilliamGibson, »Virtuelles Licht« (1993), deutsch von Peter Robert, Kap. 7.

Tarot and the Lo-Teks
Yesterday’s post was, obviously, about a new shop item on my ko-fi page. All the proceeds from my ko-fi page go toward web-hosting Sage Sips without ads, keeping the Substack paywall-free, and maybe generating a few donations for causes I care about (more about that in a later post.) I’m not going back into business. Handwritten Tarot readings are not a money-maker.
Trust me, I’ve tried it before.
I originally offered tangible, pen and paper Tarot readings years ago, when AI was the stuff of cyberpunk fiction – not anything anyone actually used in normal day-to-day life.
I’ve always been a William Gibson fan, dating back to Neuromancer. I originally offered handwritten Tarot because it was cool and niche. Bringing back handwritten Tarot is more the Lo-Teks from Gibson’s short story turned Keeanu Reeves movie, Johnny Mnemonic.
I never imagined that a person to person email with a digital photo would seem low-tech next to computer-generated art and writing, but here we are. Physical paper and handwriting seems like ancient, mysterious wizardshit by comparison.
If you want a talking type of reading – eesy peesy. There are psychics by the dozens out there doing that and it is up to you to figure out if they are trustworthy or not. (The Tao of Finding a Psychic might help) As far as I know, there are only a handful of us working in the typed-word and email formats, and fewer still that do handwritten pen and ink readings.
“A thought is powerful, the spoken word even more so, but the written word is the most powerful of all”
Sallie Christensen, psychic and author
I’m not going back into business, but I am offering these readings as a quiet rebellion against AI. This is my Lo-Tek Tarot.
Handwritten Tarot is magical and powerful – arguably even more so than spoken in-person ones. This kind of Tarot can never be digitally replicated. My bad handwriting and cringy doodles show you they are 100% real, 100% HUMAN .
Handwritten Tarot has all the advantages of any distance reading: You can’t unintentionally give body language cues. There are no leading questions, no stage mentalism, no tricks – these readings are pure spirit and intuition. No drama, no AI slop – just quiet wisdom in the ancient way of pen and ink writing.
Please include your name, U.S. mailing address, and question for the reading with your order. If you don’t include a question or topic, no problem! I’ll automatically do an open style reading and let intuition lead the way.
Sent folded into a standard #10 envelope, this Tarot reading is discreet and private. This is highly customized folk art with no refunds or exchanges. Available to USA mailing addresses ONLY.
This nominal charge is only to cover the cost of paper, postage, driving to the post office and the extra effort that these take to create.
Just like always, these readings are highly customized ephemeral folk art for entertainment and personal spritual enrichment, and do not predict the future. No refunds or exchanges or any of that other business-y stuff. Caveat emptor and whatnot.
Order one from my ko-fi shop HERE if you are interested in giving it a try.

Trust me, I’ve tried it before.
I originally offered tangible, pen and paper Tarot readings years ago, when AI was the stuff of cyberpunk fiction – not anything anyone actually used in normal day-to-day life.
I’ve always been a William Gibson fan, dating back to Neuromancer. I originally offered handwritten Tarot because it was cool and niche. Bringing back handwritten Tarot is more the Lo-Teks from Gibson’s short story turned Keeanu Reeves movie, Johnny Mnemonic.
I never imagined that a person to person email with a digital photo would seem low-tech next to computer-generated art and writing, but here we are. Physical paper and handwriting seems like ancient, mysterious wizardshit by comparison.
If you want a talking type of reading – eesy peesy. There are psychics by the dozens out there doing that and it is up to you to figure out if they are trustworthy or not. (The Tao of Finding a Psychic might help) As far as I know, there are only a handful of us working in the typed-word and email formats, and fewer still that do handwritten pen and ink readings.
“A thought is powerful, the spoken word even more so, but the written word is the most powerful of all”
Sallie Christensen, psychic and author
I’m not going back into business, but I am offering these readings as a quiet rebellion against AI. This is my Lo-Tek Tarot.
Handwritten Tarot is magical and powerful – arguably even more so than spoken in-person ones. This kind of Tarot can never be digitally replicated. My bad handwriting and cringy doodles show you they are 100% real, 100% HUMAN .
Handwritten Tarot has all the advantages of any distance reading: You can’t unintentionally give body language cues. There are no leading questions, no stage mentalism, no tricks – these readings are pure spirit and intuition. No drama, no AI slop – just quiet wisdom in the ancient way of pen and ink writing.
Please include your name, U.S. mailing address, and question for the reading with your order. If you don’t include a question or topic, no problem! I’ll automatically do an open style reading and let intuition lead the way.
Sent folded into a standard #10 envelope, this Tarot reading is discreet and private. This is highly customized folk art with no refunds or exchanges. Available to USA mailing addresses ONLY.
This nominal charge is only to cover the cost of paper, postage, driving to the post office and the extra effort that these take to create.
Just like always, these readings are highly customized ephemeral folk art for entertainment and personal spritual enrichment, and do not predict the future. No refunds or exchanges or any of that other business-y stuff. Caveat emptor and whatnot.
Order one from my ko-fi shop HERE if you are interested in giving it a try.

@hora_z está la serie de sprawl y la serie del puente. Son 6 libros. La verdad es increíble como ve un par de tópicos centrales en las décadas posteriores, que seguro ya estaban presentes pero imperceptibles:
- disolución de los estados en la práctica y las meta corporaciones
- la importancia de los influencers
- el mundo de la información y analistas de datos
- los vínculos con las IAs
La serie del puente está muy buena porque podía ser constitución, tiene mucho de tercer mundista y cyber ciruja que nos identifica.
Cualquier cosa tengo los epubs
