You can and should read or listen to all three books in full, but as usual, Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic) makes his story - "The Weight of a Feather (The Weight of a Heart)" - available for all to hear.

Contrary to the normal purpose here, I am intentionally keeping my opinions and adjectives to myself for these stories, except for how I already described them: challenging.

These anthologies contain stories by many then-and/or-now famous writers along with many other talented but not famous ones, with the collective theme being that all stories express challenging ideas of the type which are usually filtered out by the process of commerce.

They are glued together with commentary by editors Harlan Ellison and, for 2024's "The Last Dangerous Visions" which was published eight year after Ellison's death, J. Michael Straczynski, along with authors' biographies.

With a brief delay after being read both Harlan Ellison-edited anthologies "Dangerous Visions" and "Again, Dangerous Visions" - not comparable to the delay in their publishing - I was recently read "The Last Dangerous Visions".

Contributing writers include legends such as Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself) and Cory Doctorow (@pluralistic).

“Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. It is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.”
—J.R.R. Tolkien – The Hobbit, 1937

Can't believe it's been a year since we lost David Lynch. I created this pixel art portrait of him the day he died, as he was a huge inspiration to me in so many ways. What's your favorite Lynch film?
