You'll probably enjoy the full Kirinyaga novel Resnick wrote, but in addition we recommend two more novels

Sam: Shogun by James Clavell (The show is good too!)
Jack: Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

EHE returned for Season 2 last week! Check out our episode on Will McIntosh's excellent "Bridesicle" if you haven't already. Next week: Mike Resnick's "Kirinyaga" from 1989. The short story is the first chapter of his book under the same name for those reading along.🪐

NEW EPISODE: We've thawed from cyro-sleep to welcome you to Season 2 of Every Hugo Ever! We are opening with 2010’s Short Story winner, “Bridesicle” by Will McIntosh! Frozen bodies, mind transfers, and dreams between life and death are a great sign for a new set of stories.

[Every Hugo Ever @EveryHugoEver]

Sam: SOMA developed by Frictional Games
Jack: “My Funny Valentine” from Cowboy Bebop

Exciting news, everyone! Season 2 of Every Hugo Ever starts up this week with the 2010 short story winner: "Bridesicle" by Will McIntosh.

I hope you're ready for a chill conversation about a great story which raises questions on life, death, and love.

And I loved the new K.J. Parker story in @tordotcom's Reactor, "Set in Stone". It's a great bronze age fantasy, an interesting look at stone carving as an art, and a pointed question towards the construction, production, and dissemination of propaganda. And it's fun!

We'll be returning soon with Season 2 of the podcast, but for those who can't wait for great SF short stories, I've got some from this week to recommend - Jack

I really enjoyed "The 6% Squeeze" by @EddieRobson in @UncannyMagazine, which is a clever look at the challenges of working in freelance design for a frightfully demanding client.

In our rankings episode I mentioned an article I read on sci-fi's shift towards dystopias. I found today that the author, Alvin Chang, made a video on it as well - Sam https://t.co/xVhmqZATR5

Had a wonderful time at the National Book Festival yesterday! Favorite panel was @EmilyRCWilson and M.A.R. Habib's discussion on translation and their beautiful readings of the Iliad and Qur'an. Thank you to the DC Public Library booth for getting me a library card! - Sam
