Prescience 8: Internet Genres
Featured Image: The CACTUS Observatory in Daggett, California. Converted from an experimental solar power plant in 2001, demolished in 2008. Image Credit: JohnNeutrino I’m basically unplugged from “SFF” (Science Fiction-Fantasy) as a scene. I just read Clarkesworld (the best magazine in the world, imho) and that’s it. So you know it’s bad when SFF drama…
Presience 7: Solarpunk and Aesthetic
Lately, I’ve been thinking about Solarpunk. If you don’t know what it is, this youtube video gives a very concise and clear idea of what it actually is.

Prescience 3: Against All Lore
Featured Image; Christ Cathedral in Garden Grove, California, cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange. It looks like a video game map. Basically the only science fiction I’ve even engaged with in the last month has been Disney’s latest Star Wars series, Andor. This time of year always gets busy for me, and I’ve…
