As I’ve done for the past couple of years, I’ve been keeping track of the books I read, and my goal is 52 for 2026
Book 1: Neuromancer by @greatdismal.bsky.social. It’s been a long time since I’ve read this, and I think it’s one of the books where I’ve been most conscious of the writing style.

Noodling around with some social media stuff: I set up a Reddit community for Transfer Orbit: www.reddit.com/r/rtransfero...
Not sure what I'll do with it just yet, but probably post book pictures and links that I find.

I've got a new piece up in the January 2026 issue of @clarkesworldmagazine.com! It's the latest installment of my "Destinations" series, which is all about the history of astronomy and how science fiction authors have adapted as we learned more about the solar system.

Something I'd be really interested in seeing with Netflix if it's acquired by Warner Bros. or Paramount is how it handles theatrical stuff. It feels like the floodgate is cracked open for them to embrace theaters a bit more.
