Final bracket of the Badassest Hive Mind showing The Borg against the Machines from The Matrix

It's the Borg and the Machines from the Matrix in the finals of the Badassest Movie Hive Mind. I really thought the Xenomorphs were winning this thing, but what do I know?) www.polltab.com/bracket-poll...

“This moving, funny novel left me feeling something I wish I felt more often these days – faith in humanity.” Kate Heartfield, Aurora Award-winning author of The Embroidered Book “A black romp and a fervent hope, told with an absurdist’s light touch even as it delves through the darkness.” Ian Green, author of Extremophile “Original, mind-expanding, and surprising – The Many made me think, wonder, and want a better world.” Aliya Whiteley, BSFA Award-winning author of Three Eight One Out April 2026 Preorder Now!

Read that thread.

Just a few hours left to vote in the semi-finals. I have a feeling the Mimics from Edge of Tomorrow are in trouble but there's still time to save them.

I'll see what I can find.

There’s hockey tonight, plus a battle between movie hive minds in the semi-final round of the Badassest Hive Mind bracket fight. I still can’t believe the Kaijus lost…

In theory, we could just get a bunch of hive mind authors together ourselves and do a one time thing online …

The Formics and the Arachnids are dead, so are the vampires from Sinners. You also killed the Kaiju! You have 2 days to choose the finalists in round 2 of the Badassest Movie Hive Mind.

LAVENDER SPIKE is

Dystopian cyberpunk
Mass addiction
Mindf*ck art
Found family

Troubled conscience MC
Badass best friend

Open door 🌶️

Are you thinking of a particular con?

2 hours!

You might have saved an entire species…

Less than 4 hours to vote in round 1! The Artemis crew is safe, now go save your favorite movie hive mind in this bracket fight!

Also HAPPY FRIDAY I would really like for people to pre-order my magical spy weird city novel!

It's not coming out in the UK because the one (1) offer we got for UK rights was like "Ugh ugh bleh THE BUTCHER OF THE FOREST barely sold, why would we WANT UK rights"

But! If pre-orders?? Maybe LOVE???

8 HOURS LEFT TO VOTE IN THE FIRST ROUND! Vote for your favorites in the Badassest Movie Hive Mind bracket fight. Millions have voted already!**

**rounded up to the nearest millions.

Interesting. I just read the instructions. I like the physical thingamajig it uses.

Oh that sounds hard!

Not a single person mentioned another hive-mind-ish game... I'm surprised.

THE MANY audiobook cover looks good. We should make square books...
