Apparently my Excursion Chronicles manuscript entered into a bidding war between Penguin Random House and HarperCollins. It got a little messy because Netflix had already optioned the rights…

Here’s a good article about sci-fi, what it is, what it isn’t, and what it could (or should) be.

“Brokeback Mountain” and “Moonlight” boosted acceptance of queer love, but “La Bola Negra” co-director Javier Calvo hopes his film will push queer representation even further with a more explicit depiction of gay sensuality and the male body.

“There’s no better way to get people to understand things than art and movies. They’re a really good vehicle for creating empathy, because when you cry with someone, you’re always bonded to that story, to that person, to that community.”

Un bloguero mostró que las entrevistas laborales en 2026 ya se realizan sin personas. La empresa envió a la videollamada a un reclutador de IA, el bloguero respondió conectando a su agente de IA y salió del encuadre.

Las redes neuronales siguieron discutiendo la vacante durante un rato más sin humanos. Al final, ambas se colgaron y comenzaron a despedirse infinitamente la una de la otra.

Distópico.

[Hugh Spicer-Smith @HughtheAuthor]

I love this sentiment. Is anyone out there writing for a specific person?

This is an expert analysis about the decline of religion in storytelling. I really like his analysis and agree that that scene from Star Wars is pretty bad. I hadn’t considered how much religion is…
