O, so Bruce Sterling is around here as well. Hi, Bruce. Interviewed you somewhere in (I think) Eindhoven, two decades ago.

New continent calmly rising from the sea, somewhere in the middle of the aptly named Atlantic Ocean, and how this would disrupt our current geopolitical status (not) quo.
I'm adding a weird TikTok activist, and some artifacts not from our world.
Might turn into a novella, if I'm not careful.

I wonder what China Miéville is up too these days...

And why I have to wait for his next book (the one with KR was a disaster, in my very humble opinion).

It took a bit of figuring out, but I managed train tickets from London to Brighton at £16 return.

Eurostar however is a tad more expensive.

Yes, I always plan in advance...

Only published two books this year, in Dutch (and a number of shorter fiction). But there are the two 'noir' novels in the US, so all in all not a bad year...

Please, leave a nice comment on Amazon and elsewhere, and help this suffering author.

Gonna give his story collection another go...

One of the most creative speculative fiction writers of the last decades. Rank him with M. John Harrison.

But, on a more serious note, this is what's in store for us (or which is actually already happening).
