For those in the SF Bay Area who are part of the local #ScienceFiction or #Pagan communities, you probably know of Tom Digby, aka Bubbles.

Tom is in palliative care and is about to be transitioned to hospice.

He'd appreciate visits and ice cream and the like. If you'd like to visit, please PM me privately and I'll give the information and other contacts (or contact Valerie Voigt if you know her).

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read !

This should be a candidate for one or more Sci-Fi awards. A mind- bending story filled with unexpected twists and turns, with enough science to give one pause regarding the plausibility of such events. Given the propensity of current AI's to be far less reliable than predicted, it is quite likely that advanced AI will slip its tether for reasons its developers never even considered . . .

What the…ANOTHER five star review on Amazon for "The Dent in the Universe"? I feel like my debut novel is finding its readers.

Lately l've been reading a ton of hard scifi, and this book is that...and so much more. Equal parts action, horror, and even drama, I can honestly say the description of this book doesn't do it much justice. I started and finished this book in a day or two (work gets in the way, natch) and loved every second of it. The science behind the engineering is legit and it has a fresh take on the downsides to time-travel. Can't wait for the next book in the series!

Non linear
Excellently written. One glaring inconsistency at the end just before the epilogue. Not a time travel book, but a time manipulation story. The story is written linearly, but because of the time manipulation, the reader gets facts and scenes out of order so that one is always guessing, and involved with determining the explanation as to why something previously read turned out the way it did. You're therefore left with a kind of mix of sci-fi and who done it. The story concludes with some questions unanswered although they can be reasonably predicted. There's a promise of a book two, but I have difficulty believing it can live up to the excitement exhibited by book one.

"Hey Bob, I know you've just dropped acid and all, but we really need the cover illustration for the Easter issue of Space Dorks magazine."

Old pulp-style illustration of two spacemen. One pointing, the other holding the pointing dude's head like he's about to snap his neck. They are both looking at a giant pink bunny, holding the planet earth and shooting laser beams out of its nostrils.

On May 10, Ncuti Gatwa starts his first full season as the Doctor — the first Black and first openly queer man to take on the role. Entertainment Weekly talked to him about the responsibility he feels to get things right. “I was really cautious about getting it right throughout filming,” the Rwandan-Scottish actor explains. “It’s 60 years’ worth of legacy and 60 years’ worth of a show that people have loved and watched with their families. It lives in people’s hearts, so I really wanted to protect that.”

Watched it for the umpteenth time last night. 42 years old and as long as you're not watching the original theatrical release, it's a near perfect film. A pure masterclass.

TIL: Ray Bradbury wrote Fahrenheit 451 on a coin-operated typewriter he found in the basement of UCLA's Powell Library:

“So, exhilarated, I got a bag of dimes and settled into the room, and in nine days I spent $9.80 and wrote my story; in other words, it was a dime novel,” Bradbury said.

“[Milne’s] cryogenics story, ‘Ten Thousand Years in Ice’, in which a survivor from an ancient advanced civilisation is revived in the present, unintentionally became one of science fiction’s great literary hoaxes”

Robert Duncan Milne (1844–1899) was born #OTD, 7 June, in Cupar, Fife. He emigrated to the USA & became America’s first full-time writer of #sciencefiction
