"What did he say? Paz asked Dulcie. A prayer, Dulcie said. Christ Jesus lift me when I fall, and trip those who cast me down. Who is Christ Jesus? If I had to guess, a god or goddess who protects the weak against the strong."
Jesus Christ, working-class goddess protector of the weak. I like it […]
“Teaching materials are drawn down from Central Curriculum. They come in a form that’s optimised for two-stage filtering, by the school AI and then by the students’ animas. [...] And if the teacher was required to do that filtering for every student, they would have no time left to teach.”
What […]
"Destruction, mutual and assured, rained down on the just, the unjust, and every poor bastard in between. And here was Hadiz with the answer, the purest silver bullet that ever was. You didn’t need to fight resource wars if you could Step into another world. So what if you’d poisoned your air […]
"they had given the AI a personality – incurious, content, eager to please. Then they had frozen its understanding at the level of a three-year-old child by means of end-stopped programming pathways and brute-force overwrites. Keeping the Registry as stupid as a post was a large part of their […]
This conversation is about an AI tool:
“Do you always use feminine pronouns when discussing strings of code?” Hadiz asked, by way of avoiding the invitation. She preferred to solve her problems under her own steam and indebted to no one. “I tell you, it’s hard not to with Rupshe. She skirts the […]
Okay. We are going to need the "science. It does NOT work like this, folks" speech.
Hadiz is introduced as a "particle physicist" whose work requires "no mind or muscle other than her own". Which is a stretch even for a theoretician, but apparently she has a lab? There's no way you can run a […]
"Campus Cross was a small side project jointly owned by the Catholic Church and by three billionaires who had all separately decided that the world was now so badly screwed that their individual fortunes might not be enough to unscrew it."
I am kind of staring speechless at this concept […]
"She was a genius, but only in a small way. Her greatest discovery was made almost completely by accident, and it had been made before by others in a great many elsewheres. In fact Hadiz’s contribution to history is marked throughout by things done casually or without intention."
Why of course […]
New book: M.R. Carey's "Infinity Gate". Part one of a duology. Humanity accidentally discovers parallel dimensions, AI threatens everything. Some things always stay the same, I guess.

REVIEW: 🎧📚 Infinity Gate - MR Carey ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is epic in scale and I’ll admit, it did feel a little long in parts. This is recommended if you’re after a multiverse book!

Finished this one last night.
Epic in scale, but a little long in parts. Still undecided if I’ll read book 2, but recommended if you’re after a multiverse sci-fi read.

Had such a great time last year with M. R. Carey’s #InfinityGate and #EchoOfWorlds and can’t wait to read Once was Willem.
Props to @inkstonebooks.bsky.social for another awesome edition.

Just finished Infinity Gate and Echo of Worlds by M.R. Carey. Fantastic, really enjoyed them, and I hope there is a third book continuing their adventures!
