NEW REVIEW! thanks to @strangehorizons.bsky.social

@lunapress.bsky.social @sarahsuch.bsky.social
Dakini Atoll by Nikhil Singh
At first, Dakini Atoll seems to function as a sequel building, yet a disorienting approach to storytelling may actually be an expression of this book’s larger themes.

Chris did ask me for examples of the recent Global South cyberpunk stuff I talk about, but I got back to him too late to include them:

- @tadethompson.bsky.social’s Rosewater
- Nikil Singh’s Dakini Atoll
- @saadzhossain.bsky.social’s Cyber Mage
- @lavanya.bsky.social’s The Ten Percent Thief

I've been talking to @dtmooreeditor.bsky.social and @billwearsties.bsky.social about the current trend in televised sci-fi towards retrofuturism and alt-history over stories set in our actual *future*, and why imagining the future might be harder these days...

Why Has Sci-Fi TV Stopped Imagining Our Future?
Once, shows like Star Trek predicted new tech and a boldly going future; now, Severance, Silo and even Trek are looking to the past.
