I’m a few years behind the curve, but I just finished CODA by @sispurrier.bsky.social and @matiasbergara.bsky.social , and it was a revelation.
Come for the imaginative “post-fantasy“ setting, but stay for an unflinching meditation about human nature.
This is a fascinating, and potentially very exciting, idea.

Also for @publisherswkly.bsky.social, I did a Q&A with @julesscheele.bsky.social about his upcoming graphic novel adaptation of Virginia Woolf's ORLANDO, including the absurdity of gender, his use of color as a storytelling tool, and his personal connection to the text.

April Foolsed my kids this morning by asking if they'd rather go to university, become artists, or study the natural world when they grow up. Lol, suckers.
Unpopular view: instead of abolishing the House of Lords, we should reform it as the House of Experts. A body of unelected scientists, artists and (sigh, sure) theologians, composition to be peer-reviewed every x years. Brief: make necessary decisions which no mandate-dependent executive dare make.
It boils my piss to admit it, but there should probably be some lawyers and cops in there too.

Really enjoyed this one. Goes broad and deep.
Check out my brand new interview with the exceptionally talented @sispurrier.bsky.social on his brand new book, THE VOICE SAID KILL!
Ok, hear me out. If we cover this entire territory in solar panels and windfarms we can generate more power than the entire glibal fossil fuel output, and using that we can mount massive mag-lev boosters to the oil ships and fly them over the blockade. QED.
