Gosh, if only some world builders were, in fact, paying limited or more expansive attention to agriculture, material culture, ordinary life & how magic and the larger social structure helps or harms the ordinary people of the world, or how difficult & deadly much of the past was for so many.

Congrats! Can’t wait to read it.

I don't know how it got to be the end of summer but...

Hi! I'm the book content editor for Reactor Mag and I'm looking for 2026 sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and crossover speculative books! If you've got an adult or YA SFFH book publishing next year please share the link/info here!

Meme of a woman driving in a car saying "Thanks for not saying formerly Tor.com when recommending Reactor Magazine. I know that took a lot of restraint."

Holy fuck.

Tumblr pointed me to this Murderbot fic.

It's about multiple SecUnits trying to keep their humans safe.

YOU READ IT BY PLAYING MINESWEEPER.

IT'S A GAME OF MINESWEEPER THAT'S A MURDERBOT FIC.

Aftir the success of *Severance,* waytinge for more showes named for songes by Dead Can Daunse. *Saltarello*: 14th centurye spyes. *Anywhere Out of the Worlde*: French poets solve 19th centurye murder cases. *Enigma of the Absolute*: Slapsticke comedye about dinosaurs.

I’d start with The Player of Games or Use of Weapons.

The cover of Kae Tempest’s album Self Titled, showing a black and white image of the back of someone’s (probably Kae) head, with short buzz cut hair. Also you should listen to this album.

Listening to Self Titled by Kae Tempest for the first time and honestly just blown away. It’s urgent and driven and it packs a punch that hits even harder because of the moment we’re in.

Ah, those were the days…

Been a while since I read 6 books in a series in one week, but here we are, rolling straight into book 7 of Jodi Taylor’s St. Mary’s series. Perfectly entertaining time travel fun that combines nearly every subgenre under the sun.

They are available through every major ebook retailer.

When you pay for a professionally published ebook, you're paying for the time of about six to ten generally underpaid skilled professionals. The paper and printing of a paper book are the smallest part of what goes into producing it.

This is a fantastic review of a brilliant novel. Read them both!

May we suggest some supplemental reading to your Murderbot viewing experience?

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older? Then we wouldn't have to wait so long. And wouldn't it be nice to live together, in the kind of world where we belong?
You know it's gonna make it that much better when we can say goodnight and stay together.
