Asimov's SF and Analog have put the top few stories in each category in their 2024 annual readers’ poll free to read online on their web sites.

My novella “Death and the Gorgon” from Asimov’s and my novelette “Vouch For Me” from Analog are among them.

If you like some of these stories, I hope you’ll consider subscribing to the magazines. It’s a tough time for all SF magazines, and they’re the place where new writers get their start.

Think about it: we are about to have a hard century and there is simply no way of "fixing" the planet climate in our lifetimes.

The best we can do is to create a new shape of civilization which will set a stable course towards sustainability and keep it there for decades, if not centuries.

We are planting trees we know we won't see becoming forests within our lifespans.

We need to see our struggle as a context for this better world.

Otherwise it's just escapism into a fairy tale.

As a world-leading expert in South Korean politics (thanks to a 15-minute Google search), I'm delighted to explain what is going on in that far away place you've barely heard of. This is super-informative x

@vampiress Also you know how the US has the most gun deaths of any country outside of, like, a war type scenario? Well, the US also has the most number of bankruptcies due to medical expenses of any developed country and I believe the most unnecessary deaths because the health industry (insurance + big pharma) profits come before people.
