"Finished Empire Star, the novella attached to the book in the double. I don’t know which he intended to be read first but I picked Empire Star cause it was shorter. It’s a neat little romp about Comet Jo a “simplex” man and his journey to deliver a message to the galactic capital and into multiplexity which involves recognizing multiple POVs and a cyclical, disjointed view of time. Looking forward to Babel 17" — Jan 20, 2026 05:49PM

“Whatever you now find weird, ugly, uncomfortable and nasty about a new medium will surely become its signature. CD distortion, the jitteriness of digital video, the crap sound of 8-bit - all of these will be cherished and emulated as soon as they can be avoided. It’s the sound of failure: so much modern art is the sound of things going out of control, of a medium pushing to its limits and breaking apart. The distorted guitar sound is the sound of something too loud for the medium supposed to carry it. The blues singer with the cracked voice is the sound of an emotional cry too powerful for the throat that releases it. The excitement of grainy film, of bleached-out black and white, is the excitement of witnessing events too momentous for the medium assigned to record them.”
