@stacysinc The Murderbot series was a good entry point to audio storytelling; and then Lily King's EUPHORIA revealed what a good reader can do for an already good novel!

Enter Ghost

Isabella Hammad
Sarah CypherSarah Cypher

Although “Enter Ghost” sometimes seems to fret about its ethics, such as the attention paid to Palestinians while other conflicts, like the one in Yemen, struggle for international attention, it succeeds as that rare fictive project that invites several audiences to pay attention.

It's here! This long essay about walking, photography, W. G. Sebald, & the pandemic was profoundly challenging to write, and I am glad (and relieved) to see it finally go live thanks to commissioning editor @MikeLindgren and @MajusculeLit. https://t.co/9cKMU4Gulf

Kim Stanley Robinson

I know almost nothing esoteric about economics, but reading Kim Stanley Robinson’s ‘The Ministry for the Future’ seems like a responsible thing to do for anyone who vaguely wonders if capitalism could ever be good for the planet.
