Had a really great time working with the editors at Future Tense on a new short story: What Would Akanda Do? out now in issues .org . It's a near-future story about a Bollywood star who signed away his likeness to AI, and now has some thoughts: https://t.co/VmhuR53khb

Set in a vividly imagined Delhi, the novel by @samitbasu blends speculative fiction with social commentary- exploring identity, surveillance, friendship, and resistance in an age of hyper-connectivity.
