One of the books I’m looking forward to this fall is Annalee Newitz’s A Wall Is Also A Road.

I’ve got the (outstanding) cover for it and I spoke with them about what to expect from it:

I am very, very pleased to announce that I have a new short story out: “Deficiency Agent”, published in ASU Center for Science and the Imagination’s Future Tense series.

I’ve had this story on my mind for more than a decade, and it brings together a whole bunch of things that I’ve been thinking about and seeing when it comes to the military and technology.
