  • Escape Pod this week features Esther Alter's "Magical Girl Antifa War Machine", and it's my favourite short speculative fiction I've read or listened to this year. It's messy, brutal, unflinching, and beautiful. There are warranted content warnings for this story, but if you can experience it, I think it's rewarding. The four narrators do great work, and it was especially nice to hear Escape Pod founder Serah Eley narrate again.

    Audio and text are both available.

  • Today I listened to the first two episodes of It’s Story Time With Wil Wheaton and enjoyed them thoroughly. Wil got Levar Burton's blessing to continue the legacy of his excellent speculative fiction podcast and has selected stellar short science fiction for the first two episodes.

    Wil has narrated some exceptional audiobooks and I loved his older podcasts so this felt like a comfort podcast from the start.

    "Rock, Paper, Scissors, Love, Death" by Caroline M. Yoachim in the first episode is superb and I recommend it wholeheartedly.

    Thanks for making something special, @wilwheaton.net !

  • Radicalized

    The third novella from Cory Doctorow's Radicalized collection is the title story and it's a standout. The story is built around people facing the terrible reality of for-profit health care and does a superb job of demonstrating how the causes of radicalization can be completely relatable. It's a great snapshot of how online communities can grow and evo

  • “All That Is Solid”

    This week's episode of StarShipSofa features a reading of Chris Barnham's "All That Is Solid". It's a touching, compelling story centered around a benevolent A.I.
    “What’s that, Rosie?”

    “Karl Marx,” I say. “All that is solid melts into air.”

    Ricky pulls back and looks at me. “I don’t know what you mean, Rosie. Have you read Ma
