Earlier this year I wrote a non-fiction article about my thought processes in worldbuilding. I have been obsessed with a future where central governments are no more, and everything is decentralised like the fediverse. The article is part of an anthology on Afro centered futurisms, and here is a Publishers Weekly announcement of the book. Description in the alt text.
Welcome to the inaugural #FediBookFair. #authors and #publishers are invited to post about their #books, offer signed copies, etc, using the #FediBookFair hashtag.
#Readers can watch or follow the hashtag to find books to buy, and interesting authors to follow.
"By purporting to restrict an author’s abilities to #reuse their own work, “these [#publishing] agreements essentially turn faculty #authors into #readers…,” the Academic Senate chair concludes. The team that leads negotiations with scholarly #publishers…is now taking up the charge, making author #rights the next frontier in advocating for the UC research community."
I'm wondering if you have any #thoughts on the "#Web#Environment#Integrity" proposal by some #Google folks. I wrote a short thread about it, but would be interested in hearing your thoughts before reading it (if you do read it - I'm not demanding it 😀 ).
I have been gathering a few #SciFi books from the 1990's from different places like #Baen#Publishers. Some are a little "interesting", but a couple are rather good. So far.
