I didn’t so much find writing as it found me. It didn’t start well, though—I still remember being in first grade, fumbling with letters on a “learning board,” my face burning with embarrassment. “What’s wrong with him?” whispered a classmate as I struggled to make sense of words that refused to take shape.

Years later, after college and a career in something entirely different, there was a floating moment when it all came together. I’d penned an advertisement for a large online retailer, and suddenly I was in demand for my ability to sell with words. All those moments growing up came rushing back—my college writing professors reminding me that if I e

The Fiction in the Science Fiction

Philosopher Slavoj Žižek recently joked that with quantum physics,
we may have caught God with his pants down.

This isn't a new assertion, ever since Bohr and Heisenberg showed that observation shapes reality, the idea has lingered— that we’ve glimpsed the creator behind the curtain.

When I first heard it, I couldn’t let it go. Not specifcally Shroedinger's formalization of quantum physics as much th Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Joseph A. Anderson  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“He falls further into darkness. The stinging pain of daily torture and the numbing cold hardly bother him now, and he relishes the thought that soon he might disappear entirely. Then Lylitte is there in his thoughts again, and the splitting pain brings him back into this life, and again, only one thing eases the torment: winding further out of existence.”
Joseph A. Anderson, Eden 2:b

“Did you splice my—DNA?”
Hannah puts her hand on the side of his face and looks him square in the eyes. “Your girlfriend was kind enough to let me pull some marrow from her rib, Romeo.”
Joseph A. Anderson, Eden 2:b

“So, let me get this right. You invented this groundbreaking medical technology that changes the way we literally do everything in trauma and blood, and you are out here, 30.3 light-years away from Earth, on a planet where everyone involved in the Eden project was a hundred percent sure there’d be no DNA, blood, or anything? And now here we are playing with the DNA of an alien race? What is this? What is actually going on here?”
Joseph A. Anderson, Eden 2:b
