I’m not writing this until the 5th, so I don’t remember what, if anything, I did today. I think I bought a sandwich for lunch, because it’s Too Hot and then died in a sweltering pit. Also probably I packed for tomorrow. And read the new batch of short SF commissioned by Amazon to entice people to Kindle Unlimited.

Read: “The Long Game” (Ann Leckie): A squishy short-lived species is oppressed by capitalist humans, but possibly not forever.

Read: “How It Unfolds” (James SA Corey): When you copy yourself, the copies all have the same history with the same people, but maybe they don’t have to have the same future.

Read: “Void” (Veronica Roth): Murder mystery in the locked room of a relativistic passenger liner. It may only shuttle between Sol and Centauri, but the time adds up…

Read: “Falling Bodies” (Rebecca Roanhorse): A young human is stuck between the colonialist aliens that conquered humanity and the human resistance.

Read: “Just Out of Jupiter’s Reach” (Nnedi Okorafor): Seven people given bonded bioships meet for a week after five years of solitude. Actually I expected even more drama.

Read: “Slow Time Between The Stars” (John Scalzi): An AI capable of managing a sub-relativistic journey might not be as much like its human creators as they hoped. I suspect the AI was based on engrams from my friend Dave.
