We had an amazing book launch last night for Automatic Noodle -- thanks so much to everyone who came out, and packed the church (words I never thought I'd write)! The book tour is officially underway, and this week you can see me in LA, Phoenix, and STL! Next week: Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver, BC!

There is so much absolutely weird and sad shit in US politico-cultural war news today that I started to post like fifteen angry things and deleted all of them because all I want to say is hug your friends and remember that saying hello to a neighbor is worth more than 5000 hot takes online.
It's your Thursday reminder that I'm about to go on book tour for Automatic Noodle! Next week I'll be in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, and St. Louis. The week after I'll be in Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, BC, and WorldCon (Seattle). Info here: image

I had to blow up San Francisco to give it a future I wanted to live in. For 48 Hills, I wrote about my new book Automatic Noodle, and how science fiction helps us resist the AI oligarchs who are stealing our city's future.
If you're at San Diego Comic-con next week, come say hi!! I'll be there on a couple of panels, and will be signing books too! image
Californians are debating secession again. It's not the first time, and my state's history of separatist movements really isn't pretty. I've written about it for Flaming Hydra!
Holy coconuts!! Automatic Noodle is the top pick from Library Reads in August!!! I can't tell you how much this means to me. I discovered scifi thanks to a friendly librarian when I was a kid. And librarians are still making books available to everyone, every day, no matter who they are. β€οΈπŸ“š Don't forget to come out and say hi when I'm on book tour in August!
