Millie’s Game ★ Kate Maruyama

An invitation to join an elite Hollywood actors’ group requires more than just talent. It might require a young actress’s soul, too.

Welcome to my new followers! I write dark science fiction that sometimes strays toward queer utopia. My short story "Believe and Live" is the horrific prelude to the Resonant Earth series. It's free for newsletter subscribers.

This is a very quiet little announcement that Broken Mirror is now available as an audiobook for the first time on the Spoken platform. I'll have much more to say about the creative, technical and ethical considerations that went into it. For now, I'm happy it's out! ihave.spoken.press/p/k52SbLZgGRY

This interview was so much fun and intellectually satisfying. With MY GOVERNMENT MEANS TO KILL ME, @rasheed.bsky.social wrote a vibrant, sexy, soul-stirring queer historical epic.

Some light social satire from Cixin Liu's Deaths End. An excess of conscience or duty "is seen as a mental illness called social-pressure personality disorder"

Lately, Americans are doing a great job resisting this affliction.

Cixin Liu's The Dark Forest, bleak as it is, has been some comfort this week. "The only constant in a world of tremendous change is the swift passage of time." #sciencefiction #scifi #futurism
