His earlier were better (at least to read; maybe they were better when performed). Too many of these were overly clever and smirk-ing-ly self-aware.

Despite what the title suggests, Honey Watson's new novel "Lessons In Birdwatching" isn't an instruction manual; it's a sci-fi story...with some birdwatching. Why? Find out in this exclusive interview.

Super exciting and gripping; kind of like "Aliens" meets "Alien Resurrection." And now, book 2.

Was as inventive and compelling a -adjacent story as the previous book, "Persephone Station," but a bit more emotional. Good stuff.

FYI, fellow fans of Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross' experimental soundscape soundtracks: is about as good as the one for "Empire Of Light" and "Bones And All," which were better than "Soul" and "Mank" but not as good as "Waves" or "Watchmen."

When we think of the things that artificial intelligence might do one day, we usually think of self-driving cars, robot maids, and, uh, world domination. But in Aimee Ogden’s noir-adjacent sci-fi mystery novella "Emergent Properties," the main character is an A.I. who works as a journalist. Why? Find out in this exclusive interview.

We all respond to tragedies differently. Take writer E.G.
