E.G. Condé (Author) 🇵🇷✍🏼

Gracia'! I have to represent. It was a gift from my sister who actually made it to a concert.

I'll be tuning in to see Bad Bunny tonight! Over the years I've seen how Benito has matured from a queer-friendly provocateur challenging toxic masculinity and machísmo in Reggaetón to a symbol of anticolonial resistance for a generation of Puerto Ricans disillusioned w/ American imperial rule. #🇵🇷

Ok somehow I made a DtMF 🪑🌴🪑 reference in my Taíno science fiction book that came out in 2023 🤔. Also...Anacaona wrecking the mansions of cryptocolonistas with a sledgehammer sounds suspiciously like an Apagón reference ⚡🔌. There are more than a few #BadBunny cameos in SORDIDEZ 🇵🇷😎👇🏼 pa' que sepan

Subsidence | Future Tense Fiction E. G. Condé’s story examines the environmental toll of data centers and the human labor that supports them.

My new story is a rare crossover of my research & author lives: starring a cranky Puerto Rican #datacenter technician (👴🏿) in a near-future Philly where 'Generative Reality' (GR 👓) apps run on nuclear power, "Subsidence" is the 🔮A.I. killjoy scifi you've been looking for

ICYMI this is an incredible bargain — everything @annaleen.bsky.social and I have written for Tor, for $18 plus whatever you can spare. And it benefits a wonderful organization that supports Black trans people.

Started 2026 with ORIGINS OF DESIRE IN ORCHID FENS by @lynnhutchinsonlee.bsky.social (@StelliformPress) which is frightfully atmospheric (exhibit A: nightmare fuel cover art ❇️🐍🦢). The 📗 is a searing meditation on belonging & assimilation steeped in Romani lore. The mom character broke me...😭🤍🫂

What books would you recommend (self promo welcome) that answer the challenges and emotions of our present? Ended 2025 with HOUSE OF BONE AND RAIN by @gabino.bsky.social which dredged up old Hurricane trauma and then proceeded to hack the shit out of it with a machete 🇵🇷🌀🔪. #bookrecs

Love Story in Colored Glass - Uncharted “This,” her father says, the stone a matte black promise in his hand, “is how your ship will travel.” With a bravura flick, he throws it out onto the lake, but all she can focus on is the spike of ten...

Maya and Taíno. Colonizer and Colonized. Perpetrator and Victim. These differences are recast to create something new. SORDIDEZ ends on a note of rebirth and possibility, where the long, sordid shadow of unspeakable violence is smothered away by the light of the sun's mythical bearer: Agüeybaná. 5/

I always love talking to Julisa, and this conversation about data and narratives and how gender inequality intersects with disasters was just amazing!

This is why we call it #indigneouspeoplesday - we don't celebrate monsters: "the Christians...took infants from their mothers’ breasts, snatching them by the legs and pitching them head first against the crags...roaring with laughter...as the babies fell into the water" - Bartomolé De Las Casas. 🐚🪶

The first episode is out now, with @boriscrito.bsky.social talking about data centers and Taínofuturism; the next one, with @thinink.bsky.social about food systems and climate, drops a week from Tuesday!

he's not "predicting" it, he's expressing his selfish vision of nobody doing anything he doesn't want (not that we should care what any of these comemierdas predict anyway, but since some people do, sub-heads should be clear). Also who's going to monitor all this surveillance? #Infomocracy

Assata Shakur, sitting cross-legged, stairs at the camera. She has a book in her hand/lap and is wearing a multicolored garment. Her hair has been twisted.

“I have advocated, and I still advocate revolutionary change. I advocate an end to capitalist exploitation, the abolition of racist policies, the eradication of sexism, and the elimination of political repression. If that is a crime, then I am totally guilty.”

- Assata Shakur

This morning, Benjamin Netanyahu will address the United Nations — an institution which has concluded his government is committing a genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. He arrived in New York after a flight that added hours to its path to circumvent the airspace of countries which might enforce the International Criminal Court's warrant for his arrest. During the course of his speech, another Palestinian child will undoubtedly be killed by the Israeli military in Gaza, as they have been every single hour for nearly two years. Eric Adams will greet Netanyahu as a friend. Andrew Cuomo proudly served on his legal defense team. Both have jockeyed for the approval of Donald Trump, who has sent billions of our taxpayer dollars to support these war crimes. A Mayor cannot end these atrocities. But they can speak for the values of this city: a commitment to human rights for all people, including Palestinians, and a yearning for peace and justice. Even if those values are anathema to those in power now, they will endure.

As Netanyahu addresses the United Nations in New York City this morning, the world recoils in horror at the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Gracias! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Fans of Sordidez, rejoice! Next year will see two sequels, set in that universe!

(I haven't yet read it, but I have heard many good things.)

I could NOT be more excited for a sequel. FRIENDS you have just enough time to order @boriscrito.bsky.social EG Condé's Sordidez from @stelliform.press. You won't be **ready for this greatness, but you can at least prepare.

a canceled streaming subscription is easily converted to several spec fic magazine subs on patreon and similar services, some are as low as 1-2 bucks. the more you know.

Introducing our new podcast miniseries: “Not Now, But Soon”!

In the first episode, @boriscrito.bsky.social talks with host @older.bsky.social about his academic life researching data centers, his #speculativefiction life, & how those worlds collide in his book SOLIDEZ. issues.org/hurricane-of...

@older.bsky.social invited me on her podcast mini-series to talk about disaster. It's rare that I get a chance to bring my research on the environmental impact of computing, AI, data centers into conversation with my speculative fiction - especially when it comes to Puerto Rico. #datacenters 🌀🚀✍️
