Former NBCC board member Anita Felicelli profiled Annalee Newitz for Alta:
Inside Annalee Newitz’s Robot World
In their new near-future novella, Annalee Newitz explores robot rights, authenticity, diaspora identity, and what rebuilding after war might feel like.

AWESOME. Local bookstore guy asked me yesterday if I were "really into Annalee Newitz" (I was buying Stories Are Weapons) & I said "Hell yes, I love the way they are great at both nonfiction and fiction." Et voilà! 👏 👏 👏 (& yes I enjoyed the heck out of Automatic Noodle!)

Almost 80 years ago, sociologists identified a new personality type that is particularly sensitive to loneliness. It's even more relevant today, says Annalee Newitz

Newest @americanhysteria.bsky.social episode “The Art of (Psychological) Warfare with Annalee Newitz” goes hard.

Twenty minutes in and already learned that “fake news” is revolutionary aka we can blame Benjamin Franklin.

Podcast image preview: the American Hysteria podcast logo of a shades of green and dark gray. American Hysteria is in all caps, and Hysteria is italicized. The light green hand with two rings—one with a pentagram and the other with a triangle symbol—is holding up an apple in a darker shade of green. Smack dab in the middle of the apple is a slanted razor with “the podcast” written on it. AMERICAN HYSTERIA THE PODCAST JANUARY 26, 2026 The Art of (Psychological) War with Annalee Newitz American Hysteria Annalee Newitz is the author of Stories Are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind, which traces the way disinformation, propaganda, and violent threats have evolved from military weapons deployed against foreign adversaries into tools of domestic culture war. For this episode, Annalee gives us a primer on the ways psychological warfare has long propped up the American colonial project, including the many men who have been the masters of its weaponized storytelling. In addition to providing historical context, I hope this conversation can remind us that while fighting against the world we do not want, we can also hold inside ourselves the world we envision, the one we are fighting for.

I am a simple being. A cracking cover with an awesome title is what does it for me.
The cover of That Time I Got Drunk And Yeeted A Love Potion At Werewolf by Kimberley Lemming. In medieval garb, a black woman in a blue dress and cloak lies in a field of flowers next to a white man in leather trousers and a red shirt. They gaze into each others eyes in a very sexy way. The cover of Legends And Lattes by Travis Baldree. A female orc, green skinned with pointy ears and teeth, stands back to back with a female tielfing, pink skinned with pink horns. They are behind the counter of a coffee shop, making coffees and serving cakes. The cover of Automatic Noodle by Annalee Newitz. Line illustration with bold neon colours. A city scape in orange along the bottom of the page, with yellow robots sitting over top of it. Above that a vat from which pink noodles are being extracted by a robot hand using chopsticks.

Good quote from the article above.
“Those bylines themselves are not the problem,” former Substacker Jude Ellison wrote at the time. “Self-publishing platforms can’t control who signs up. Substack isn’t a self-publishing platform, though. It curates its writers. It pays them, sometimes massively, and it makes choices as to who gets paid well and who doesn’t.” Writer Annalee Newitz rightfully called Substack a “scam.”

A large robot hand holding chopsticks over a bowl of colorful noodles. Below there's a landscape of San Francisco and three small robot figures. Everything is very colorful, with cyan, yellow, orange, red, and pink. Book cover shows a brightly-colored geometric pattern of the style often seen on quilts. Some of the shapes are filled or outlined with beadwork.

Annalee Bakersbee, love of my life, sharp shooter with bow & arrows, guns, and her attitude. I’ve tried using her in different things with the Hellhounds but haven’t had anything stick yet!

Finished this last night and boy, did I need to read this. This anthology has really inspired me, it was such a light amid the darkness. If you need a break from all the doomerism, read this.
