Vicious cycle meme: I write fiction for fun. The simulacra of Mark Fisher chastises me for not writing theory fiction. My fiction becomes political. The simulacra of Mark Fisher chastises me for not challenging capitalist realism. I write fiction for fun...

Updated my Amazon bio to say I don't sell on Amazon anymore, lol
About the author: Cara Lynn Carter (she/her) tries to satiate a craving she has for mentally stimulating, emotionally fulfilling, accessible pop sci fi by writing it herself. Her upcoming novel, Lyra, deals with gray market cheese, radiotrophic fungi, and buried treasure in a feral Solar System. She is the editor of Sonder Speculation, a recurring print-only science fiction anthology that pays all creators equally and will never be sold on Amazon. She doesn't sell things on Amazon anymore.

"Science Fiction that Resists Enshittification" The anthology Sonder Speculation was developed out of a frustration with what tech companies have done with digital media. It opens with the following satirical PSA to illustrate that point. tinyurl.com/Sonderspec
Shouldn't You Be Online? Physical media is ideologically dangerous. We can't monitor which pages you spend the most time on, or who you share this with. There are no engagement metrics to maximize, and we can not tailor your experience. The creators of this "magazine" built it largely through person to person contact outside of monetizeable platforms, and value human "creativity" over luxurious, personalized consumption. Please, do not turn the page, and do not follow their example. - An appeal from the Preserve Our Technoligarchy Foundation

In a story that sounds too extreme to be real, M*sk gave a 19 year old with recent ties to satanic n*zi cybercriminals access to Treasury servers and various other sensitive government computer systems throughout these D*GE coups. Edward Coristine was fired from a DDOS protection service called path after only a few months for leaking documents to a competitor. Path itself is shady, with founding and former members being former cybercriminals, doxers, and SWATers, Coristine was active on The Com, a decentralized network of Discord and Telgram servers. The Com is the cybercrime equivalent of a street gang you can't really get out of without facing consequences. They are n*zi Satanists who spread and create gore and cp content which is frequently racially motivated, and use it to blackmail victims, including children, for many purposes, including to encourage them to commit s*lf-h*rm and su*cide. There is a risk these people now have private information about every citizen of the United States. Conservatives love conspiracy theories about Satanic child abusers in the deep state. Looks like even that especially extreme accusation is now just another confession.

This short written in 1909 (!!) is about a humanity that surrendered itself to a giant machine. They stay isolated in their homes where it makes literature and poetry and music just for them, that provides them with everything they need, and they mostly talk to each other only through video calls.

Hal Draper's MS FND IN A LBRY is a short story about an intergalactic civilization that collapses by miniturizing all its knowledge, ceasing to learn it directly, relying on a convoluted web of indexes to it, and losing track of the source material. Written in 1961, it's surely irrelevant now...
