Crosstalk

I've just started Connie Willis' new book, Crosstalk, and already I'm completely charmed. Willis is remarkably deft at combining the sense of wonder so important to speculative fiction with likable characters and great wit and whimsy. In Crosstalk, a new technology gives people the ability to make empathic connections wirelessly; though hailed as a revolutionary step in human relations, complications ensue...

While I've only just started the book, I'm already reminded why I love Willis' work so much. She remains one of the best SF authors of the modern era.

Unhappier Accidents

Unhappy Accidents

I've shot thousands of photographs during my lifetime, and a few of them have turned out quite nicely. Others...did not.
