Thank you, Andy! They were such juicy questions to ponder. I hope you enjoy the book.

If you could upload your mind to a virtual utopia, would you? Grace Chan, author of Every Version of You, the November read for the New Scientist Book Club, explores the philosophical implications of the choices her characters make

Just came across this and now I can’t stop thinking - if you could upload your mind to a digital utopia, would it still be you? Now I’m keen to read @gracechanwrites.bsky.social's "Every Version of You"...

Thank you @trackofwords.bsky.social for the fun, twisty, thoughtful questions!

I enjoyed chatting about worldbuilding dystopias vs utopias, the body horror of technology, and what imaginary setting I would create if I had the power of virtual reality at my fingertips...!

It’s out and I’m so proud of this! Cleide Lanzetta & I translated #everyversionofyou by @gracechanwrites.bsky.social into Italian for Edizioni SuiGeneris. This novel is a captivating dystopian SCI-FI that will draw you into a moral conundrum, but will also make you imagine & dream new possibilities!

Thank you so much Virginia and Cleide for translating Every Version of You. I'm honoured!!!

I adore space operas, cyborgs, technology, duplicity and duplication, alien landscapes, yearning, complicated feelings, and juicy revenge plots.

I'm also an avid reader, soccer player, parent of two little humans, and enthusiastic consumer of cheap and tasty foods.

A woman with shoulder-length black hair, black eyes and tan skin smiles sidelong at the camera. She is wearing a black top with a space design.
