The Quantum Dawn: Cover reveal for Derek Künsken’s new Quantum Evolution novel Return to the world of the Quantum Evolution with our exclusive cover reveal of Book 4: The Quantum Dawn, an all-new and action-packed adventure from Derek Künsken!

The Quantum Magician series by @derekkunsken.bsky.social is among my favourite big-idea space opera of the past decade.

The guy has some bonkers-creative imagination for the horrible results of capitalism-driven genetic engineering and develops them in a tremendous adventure story.

This rocks.

Thanks Kevin! We had a baby and that slowed things down :)

Breaking news! @scifinow.bsky.social reveals the cover to "The Quantum Dawn," the 4th (of 5) novel in my Quantum Evolution series from @solarisbooks.bsky.social and @recordedbooks.bsky.social!

It's a new story day! "The Metamorphosis" is my heart story, about how turning into an invisible sloth is a Kafkaesque metaphor for getting ME/CFS or Long Covid, but you can still find a path to a happy ending.

Amazing!

You’re right.

That might not be enough time to bury the Statue of Liberty and distribute 400 million ape costumes.

It's true. I am too lazy to draw my stories....

Actually, I loved Al Pacino as Husband of a Trans Woman.

I'm now actually in Portland, ME, so one more reminder. @libertyhardy.bsky.social and I will be chatting about my novel The Subtle Art of Folding Space

There is a kind of conservative rhetorical technique that tries to sound really smart by importing obscure historical details into a weak argument. At best, it sounds pretentious. At worst it sounds really dumb. I'm not sure where a 21st century mention of the Avignon Papacy falls.

Year's Best Canadian Fantasy and Science Fiction: Volume 4 Award winners. Award nominees. Hidden gems. All Canadian. All in one anthology.

It's live! IT'S LIVE! The Kickstarter for Year’s Best Canadian F&SF: Volume Four is now LIVE! Award-winning series, best of 2025, and (with your help) the biggest volume yet. Can you back early enough to land The Canucklehead tier and get to choose the dedication for the book??

Pls SHARE WIDELY!

OK, that was weird. It snowed (in April!) for like 5 minutes then stopped. Something has gone wrong with the physics of this universe!

No it fucking doesn't. It's a computer program. Stop with this nonsense.

*cough* Buying used books from used bookstores is still supporting indie bookstores. I just wanted to make that clear for the people who still don't get it.

What's the weather like up here in Canada?

Canada has a Neo Nazi problem — but we actually just did something about one of them.

A Canadian neo-nazi was just sentenced to 20 years in prison.

As investigative journalist @petersmith.bsky.social helped me explain, this could be a big deal (and likely has other nazis shaking in their boots):

BBC News just used the phrase "...now commonly referred to as AI slop." Specifically they were talking about AI content for children, I just like the phrase becoming mainstream.

Hope is still echoing in my head :)
