@LauraJMG Thank you, Laura! It's been ages since I wrote this one, but I've been in the studio all week recording the audio (about to leave for another session!) and I'm so happy with how it turned out.
@pluralistic @LauraJMG maybe you already said it somewhere, but who will read this book?
@sabrinaweb71 @pluralistic Cory’s science fiction is for anyone interested in the myriad ways that technology (and how it’s wielded) drive social change. He also deals with inequities of power and its consequences, always in a clever and accessible way. His books have both heart and brains—they’re real page-turners, gripping and highly readable—and his characters are appealing and unforgettable. They stay with you long after you finish.
@sabrinaweb71 @pluralistic Aaannnnddd I see now I totally misunderstood your question, Sabrina. 😂
@sabrinaweb71 @LauraJMG ME! It's my first novel narration (with a director in a studio - as opposed to serializing a book on my podcast, alone in my office)
@pluralistic @LauraJMG I would've bought it anyway, but now I'm even more curious
@sabrinaweb71 @pluralistic Me too! The excerpt is a real sidewinder. This is right up my alley—I don’t know how I missed it when it first came out. Can’t wait to read it!
@pluralistic Happy recording! You really hit the mark. ❤️
