Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)

Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt.

BOOK #72, 2025
BLOOD MUSIC, by Greg Bear (1985)
Fascinating take on the Frankenstein scenario. A scientist discovers his cells have become self-aware & want answers as to their existence. It’s terrific fodder for dense sci-fi, but Bear’s talent for plotting keeps the story grounded.

VENISS UNDERGROUND, by Jeff VanderMeer (2003)
Phantasmagorical wonder. Plot is secondary to presentation, a world as dazzling as it is dangerous, saturated with imagery in a voice henceforth known as “VanderMeerian.” It’s a spectacular accomplishment in world-building.

THE QUEEN, by Nick Cutter (2024)
Extreme horror by a Canadian master. Cutter cranks it up to eleven, giving us an ultra-gory freakfest of missing kids, mad scientists, insect imagery, & gooey body horror. Hardcore sci-fi horror that hits all my feel-bad nihilistic buttons.

Satirical look at workplace insanity. Within an all but abandoned building, employees perform menial tasks until a mysterious ‘thing’ appears.
As it turns out, the REAL ‘thing in the snow’ was the friends we made along the way.

THE MARTIAN WAR, by Kevin J. Anderson (2012)
An enjoyable H.G. Wells pastiche. Mixing in characters & events from Wells’ works, Anderson uses Wells himself as point man in humanity’s first contact with aliens. It’s a fun romp, with an emphasis on Wells’ more fantastical sci-fi ideas.

THE PREDATOR, by Christopher Golden (2018)
Cookie-cutter novelization that highlights the movie’s failings. The movie smooths out its inconsistencies through charismatic actors & enjoyable action; lacking that, this lands with a thud, particularly in the lengthy ending.

FAIRY TALE, by Stephen King (2022)
Expansive, immersive, overlong fantasy. As refreshingly earnest as it is, the story is too slight for its length; scenes are great but the full work crumbles. Still worthwhile, a gateway read to King’s grimmer DARK TOWERs.
