Loved doing this interview with my old io9 colleague @cyriaquelamar.bsky.social -- who asked great questions about noodles and authenticity and robots.
"Saying something is 'authentic' is...a way of freezing culture in place...denying that culture is a living thing."
@cyriaquelamar.bsky.social's interview with @annaleen.bsky.social on their new book "Automatic Noodle" (@tordotcom.bsky.social) is out now.

i just finished my first novel; it took exactly a year to write. the book is 65,000 words so far, the first in a potential trilogy, but a standalone piece in its own right.
