Oh, what's this? No big deal, just the cover reveal for my next book, QUAINT FOLK -- a story about an obnoxious American family who visits an incredibly quaint British island where people follow the old ways. 😎🖤

I have to wonder if contemporary sci-fi is so unpopular because the current mode is a kind of centrist liberalism that hardly anyone (except I guess Chuck Schumer) wants. It is an ideology that has failed to meet the needs of the current moment and most of us are leaving it behind.
The old mode of science fiction writing is vanishing. What's arriving in its place?

The crime of capitalism is not the existence of the Crystal Shrek, but the fact that the Crystal Shrek is not available to all who would benefit from it.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams

These are also the three dispositions of basically everyone I know, though.
No matter the breed, every dog has one of three default dispositions:
1. Dipshit
2. Has a Job
3. Trying to Pick a Fight with God

I find the entire genre of "tens of thousands of words minutely refuting every point of an abuse clam" intrinsically unpersuasive. If any of the evidence were actually damning they'd just highlight that instead of doing a tedious Gish Gallop.
I haven't read that massive Substack thing that Gaiman linked to in his whinge, and nor am I going to. If you need tens of thousands of words of rant and innuendo to embed your "shocking evidence" in, you don't have shocking evidence, you have a conspiracy manifesto.

I worry that as we narrow the range of what we can talk about, think about, spend our time on, our ability to make expansive art and language shrinks, too, and so does our ability then to solve big problems and think creatively - all of which is the terrible point of fascism
