The July/August 2025 cover for Asimov's Science Fiction magazine. The cover story is The Chronolithographer's Assistant, by Suzanne Palmer. The illustration depict a young man in old fashioned clothing turning the wheel on a lithograph press. There are vessels of brightly coloured liquids on nearby tables and shelves. The background is dissolved into fuzzy shapes of trees, with two malevolent-looking futuristic drones emerging.

As a mail subscriber to #AsimovsScienceFiction magazine, I get a vote in their 2025 reader's awards. It was fun to go back and re-read my favourite stories for the year to decide my rankings:

Aliens Omnibus 3

Quarantine by Greg Egan

The Cutting-Off Way by Wayne Lee

The Fellowship of the Ring by JRR Tolkien

Sunday #booksky update!

I've finished another Aliens novel omnibus and moved on to a delightfully neo-noir cyber detective mystery.

At work the slog through the dry but comprehensive Cutting-Off Way continues!

And my eldest has a seat at the Council of Elrond!

Holy Crap. I'm so excited. Random person off street - a tourist from UK came in & asked "Do you have a copy of Diaspora by Greg Egan?"
I'm like "YES! We do!"
I don't think she realizes how unlikely it is for her to find a copy of any #GregEgan book on shelves of a US bookstore. #BooksellerLIfe

Asimov's Science Fiction magazine, with cover story 'Spares Parts for the Mind' by Greg Egan, plus stories by Tegan Moore, Ray Nayler, Sean McMullen, Sean Monaghan, Allen M. Steele, and Susan Schwartz.

The most recent #AsimovsScienceFiction to appear in my mailbox features an absorbing cover future story from #GregEgan about a dementia sufferer's experimental brain implants that lead him to a partial recovery, but also highlights a world of techbro hype […]

Weird-as-fuck science fiction based on cutting-edge theory about the nature of physical space. Good characterization, and a full-of-surprises plot.

Spare Parts for the Mind by #GregEgan @gregegansf.bsky.social
In geriatrics, remember that quality of life is paramount and that treatments come with consequences. Trying to piece together new toys…and one’s brain.

Axiomatic, by Greg Egan

Page 1 features the most #GregEgan quote ever: "The number of parallel worlds is uncountably infinite - infinite like the real numbers, not merely like the integers". This 1994 collection is significantly earlier work than the other Egan collection I own […]

L'énigme de l'Univers - Greg Egan

#Lectures #Goodreads : s’il en est qui parlent le mieux de #GregEgan , légendaire auteur de #ScienceFiction
@lecturesmaki.bsky.social en fait partie, son article le prouve !

Greg Egan - L'énigme de l'univers... Un roman exigeant et parfois obscur mais qui mérite le détour.

The cover of the book. It is hard to say whether this is a smear of jam through breadcrumbs or a comet through asteroids but it feels like it should be the latter, given the subject material.

Book 47 is "Diaspora" by Greg Egan.

DISTRESS – Greg Egan (1995) Reality is a miracle, and my bet is we will never find out how & why it originated. Despite our efforts, we still don’t grasp what matter actually is. Fundamental physics is one of Greg E…

A thought-provoking book, and I would recommend it as such, but it also made me realize that I am done with techno-optimism. #GregEgan #Distress #scifi #books #collapse

There's no-one like Greg Egan when it comes to taking a simple idea (imagine if the world had different scales of dimension all interleaved) and going barmy with it. This is classic Egan brain-hurting and I love it.

Cuento 4/12: Aprendiendo a ser yo - #GregEgan

¿Eres tú o la Joya dentro de tu cráneo? Egan lleva la Paradoja del Barco de Teseo a la mente humana. Identidad, inmortalidad y consciencia en un relato inquietante.

Death and the Gorgon by #GregEgan 
Defrosted cryopreserved heads, A.I., a loose thread, and a tenacious Fargo-esque sheriff make for a twisty murder mystery.
