A big month for Coherence! I experimented with an ad that hit big. We’re up to 760 books sold, which is above the threshold of 500 I’d set for writing a sequel! Check it out if you haven’t already: https://t.co/HA25qAksMZ

Sounds like the plot of a book I know. Whats the worst that could happen if AI can find havks on every major OS? https://t.co/BNlYkjChB7

As if we haven't already done enough damage to science, our radio telescope in South Africa (the Hydrogen Epoch of Reionization Array) has been shut off because of fuel shortages, thanks to an international conflict that no one asked for.

Here's the April update for how Coherence is doing. 423 books sold, 51 ratings on amazon (81% are 5-star). https://t.co/HA25qAksMZ

With so many zero-day exploits, if hackers ever had a plan (eg AI agentic info manipulation from my book COHERENCE), instead of launching dumb DDOS attacks and bragging online... We live in a time of unprecedented danger of runaway power grabs. https://t.co/4zg2j2Ejsa

Our work on determining the masses of the first stars, led by Dr Thomas Gessey-Jones and Prof Anastasia Fialkov, and published recently in Nature Astronomy, has just been featured in the Contact Magazine. Well done team!

I’ve got an author even coming up in the Bay Area! It would be amazing to see you there!

[Aaron Parsons @UCBProf]

Lots of people have been asking how my book Coherence is doing. The short answer: GREAT!

If you’ve read Coherence and haven’t left a rating yet, I’d really appreciate your help getting it to 50 on Amazon. And if you haven’t read it yet... maybe now’s the time to give it a try?

Yeah, I wrote a book, but check out the grain on this table I made? 👀

@rachsdams I wonder if you’d also be a fan of Coherence for science that doesn’t get in the way of an emotionally charged plot. https://t.co/r1sXIZ6CEz

@ryan_dockery34 @goodreads I wonder if you’d also be a fan of Coherence. It’s very much in the same vein—a science thriller, though a little closer to current reality. https://t.co/r1sXIZ6CEz
