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. ⭐️⭐️ https://michaelhans.com/eclecticism/2025/04/12/hominids-by-robert-j-sawyer
Robert J. Sawyer: The purpose of science fiction
"[Judging by successful predictions] implies that the job of science fiction is to predict THE future, and it isn’t; the job is to suggest a smorgasbord of possible futures, so that society may choose the one it wants. "
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.
