My latest short story is titled JUST BEYOND JUPITER’S REACH. 🌪️

It’s part of The Far Reaches collection, “six short science fiction stories from bestselling authors James S. A. Corey, Veronica Roth, Rebecca Roanhorse, Ann Leckie, Nnedi Okorafor, and John Scalzi, curated by John Joseph Adams.”

It will be released on June 27th (on Amazon).

…And if you’ve read Binti and you read the description of my story, you may suspect that it is linked to the Binti trilogy’s universe. It is, 🦐😉.

June brings a ton of new books! Here are 19 that you should check out: https://transfer-orbit.ghost.io/june-2023-science-fiction-fantasy-book-list/
Damn. I just finished Light From Uncommon Stars and that book is just ... Fantastic. Heartbreaking, lovely, occasionally triggering in its honesty and realism, yet ... somehow light. A+.

Just finished this, utterly brilliant book
Book 17 of 2023: Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie. I read this when it came out a decade ago and enjoyed it, but reading it now: I got a lot more out of it. It’s a fantastic critique of imperialism, disability, gender, all wrapped up in a kickass space opera.

One of my favorite books recently is Ray Nayler’s The Mountain in the Sea. It’s a powerful read that tackles the nature of intelligence and how we’re not equipped to handle everything that comes with it: https://transfer-orbit.ghost.io/mountain-in-the-sea-ray-nayler-sci-fi-book-review/
Book Review: The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler

Ray Nayler's The Mountain in the Sea is an astonishing novel about recognizing and comprehending intelligence and our place in the world

I’m not concerned about AI outcompeting competent writers or impacting my career directly. I am deeply concerned about AI swamping submission systems and destroying the ability of editors and readers to find the next generation of writers.

AI is very much a danger to the long term health of the field not because of competition for quality readable fiction but because of its ability to create dreck in previously unimaginable quantities and drown submission systems and indie publishing in shit.
