- I Was a Geek, Not a Fan
I grew up reading science fiction, not participating in fandom. With Worldcon about to begin, I’m looking at the fascinating, interconnected culture that exists beyond the books—and what first-time attendees might discover when they step inside it. - Cozy Science Fiction: A Genre That’s Still Finding Itself
Cozy science fiction is one of the newest corners of the genre, and it’s still finding its identity. After reading Automatic Noodle and revisiting A Psalm for the Wild-Built, I’ve been exploring what makes a story “cozy,” how it connects with the philosophy of hopepunk, and why readers are increasingly drawn to optimistic, character-driven futures. - Happy Birthday, C.S.

On his birthday, I’m looking back at the Space Trilogy and the remarkable way Lewis used speculative fiction not to predict the future, but to challenge how we see ourselves—and humanity’s place in the universe. - Why Hardboiled Isn’t Noir
I finished S.J. Morden’s One Way and immediately bought the sequel—not because I liked the protagonist, but because I had to know what happened next. It also reminded me that hardboiled and noir aren’t the same thing, and why that distinction explains Ptolemy Lane far better than I ever realized while writing him. - We’re Already Building Our Exoselves
Kevin Kelly’s latest essay introduced me to a concept I hadn’t quite considered before: the “exoself.” Not a humanoid robot, but an AI that becomes an extension of our own minds through memory, context, and continuity. The more I thought about it, the more I realized we may already be taking the first steps toward that future—one useful conversation at a time.
