Today, Slashdot asked the question: Ask Slashdot: What’s the Most Depressing Sci-fi You’ve Ever Read? For me, it was The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. Ray Bradbury brilliantly presented how the banality of evil could be exhibited wherever mankind ended up. The minor mundane awfulness of humans, even in what should have been fascinating circumstances, [...]

Sometimes the cyberpunk promise of the internet really comes true. A few years ago, people were still laughing about how science fiction had prophesied video phones, only of course nobody wants to be on video while they are talking. Today, all my more corporate friends skype and most of my more naked friends cam. Go [...]

I have to admit that I prefer my science fiction a little grittier and a lot better acted and directed than network television can generally offer. So I don’t usually get my fix from ABC or SyFy. As a Wesleyan alum, I wanted to like Serenity, but I thought the captain character was just way [...]

What you might not know, or at least I didn’t until now, is that Rudy Rucker edits an online science fiction zine called Flurb.

Seeing the cantina scene in Star Wars was a watershed moment for me. I looked at the motley crew of freaks and degenerates and weirdos and heroes having fun and looking to be productive and I wanted to go to there. I love really over-the-top clothing and I’ve been really enjoying all the great costuming [...]

I’ve been trying (fairly unsuccessfully) to recall all of my science fiction writing credits. As a result, I’ve been ego-searching various strings like +”amelia g” +”science fiction” and +”amelia g” +”author” and so forth.

The $1 BlueBlood.com sale is going to be coming to a close in just a few days. With the inauguration of Barack Obama and the new administration, the world expects the economy to pick up.
