Tech news is especially useful for science fiction--it's easier to see where we might go when you have a comprehensive understanding of where we are. For the Jay Moriarty stories, Ed Zitron's newsletter is a godsend--not least because it makes me angry. You need to be angry to effectively write about ruining rich people's lives.(less)

When I decided to do a modern-day adaptation of Moriarty and Moran, I didn't want that event to be buried in Moran's backstory--I wanted to see him do the utterly insane thing.

I then watched a documentary called "Britain's Tiger Kings," about exotic animal ownership in the UK, and the idea of a live tiger as the fiddle in a classic fiddle game con began to take shape. The result was "Sebastian Moran Gets Mauled by a Tiger," which is out on November 14.(less)

There’s no way this won’t make me sound demented

This week I finished reading Andrew Joseph White’s You Weren’t Meant to Be Human, which according to its one-star reviews is “traumatizing,” “soooo triggering,” “pointlessly edgy,” and “disgusting.” I found it … fine. Kind of tame, actually. You Weren’t Meant to Be Human is a book constantly flinching away from itself, desperate to sell you on the horror of all the blood and gore and bugs and body

The Best of Connie Willis by Connie Willis
“People are always surprised and disturbed by Emily Dickinson's 'reclusive' lifestyle and come up with all sorts of theories to explain her staying in her room, doing her gardening at night, and vanishing upstairs whenever visitors came to call: depression, a skin condition that wouldn't let her out in the sun, lupus, a love affair that ended badly and that she never got over, agoraphobia, epilepsy, etc.

I, however, find her behavior completely understandable. She lived in Amherst, Massachusetts, for God's sake.”

“It's vodka, baby boy. It hates you. You have to agree to that before you start or you never get anywhere with it.”

Minister Faust
“Wait . . . where's my e-key?'

This again. A guy who can organise the stuff he does, fix computers and build scale model bridges and pyramids and simulation Mars bases in the backyard for our neighbourhood summer Coyote Camps, and he still misplaces his zap-key nearly every freaking day.

I scan the room.

'Down there. Under the, the left boot of the, uh, R-Mer.'

Yehat scoops it up, stands up, ready to go, but then: 'Ah, my, uh, wallet . . . .'

I scan.

'Side of the couch.'

He digs. He wins.

'Oh . . . and my glasses.'

'On your face.'

'Where would I be without you?'

'Locked outside of house, blind, without money.”
Minister Faust, The Coyote Kings of the Space-Age Bachelor Pad

“The brighter, compassionate things take hard work, but evil somehow always manages to make itself easy. Neglect is easy. Indifference. It's too easy to turn into a monster.”
