Black Sun Rising by Celia Friedman | In Search of Thoughtful SFF
https://thoughtfulsff.wordpress.com/2012/03/01/black-sun-rising-by-celia-friedman
In Search of Thoughtful SFF. Black Sun Rising by Celia Friedman. Asymp; 5 Comments. I usually give bad books ample opportunity to improve before dropping them. Short stories I’ll skip after only one or two boring pages, but books usually get 50, even 100. Not this one. The 8-page prologue was enough.

On reviewing in a misogynistic, homophobic society | In Search of Thoughtful SFF

Case in point: Saladin Ahmed’s. Throne of the Crescent Moon. And then Requires Hate pointed out some rather glaring problems. And then went back to point out some more. I’m tire...

Presenting the fact and fiction of tomorrow since 2001. The death of the cool: fan-fiction futurism. Paul Raven @ 06-08-2013. Part [x] in an ongoing and probably endless series of examples of why it might be that, outwith the futurism community and the managerial class, hardly anyone takes the word futurist seriously. Today’s victim is Dan Abelow, and this post of his at the World Future Society’s blog. Take it away, Dan. Whether you’re young or old there’s one thing you know: Your future is digital.
