DecemberClarke gave us 2001, Childhood's End, and Rendezvous with Rama, and he conceived the communications satellite before it existed. One of the Big Three, and a master of hard science married to genuine wonder.
Book ReviewsA former famous hacker turned security consultant on how to be online without leaving a trace, an eye-opener on how thoroughly you are tracked and what to do about it. Valuable to anyone online, including writers. The 2017 technical specifics…
Artificial IntelligenceThe 1984 debut that founded cyberpunk and won the SF triple crown, coining cyberspace and imagining the digital age before it arrived, all in dense, noir, technopoetic prose. A stylistic tour de force, demanding and sometimes cold, with surface-iconic characters,…
Book ReviewsA sharp, intelligent polemic from a Silicon Valley insider, arguing that social media's harms to psychology, truth, and society are by design instead of accident. Deliberately one-sided, with a delete-everything fix more provocative than practical, but a bracing counterweight, especially…

GhostwritingIf you are technical and weighing a memoir, your biggest fear is that a ghostwriter will not understand your world and will flatten your career into something unrecognizable. That fear is correct, most will. The fix is one who actually…
AI AdoptionThe loud AI conversation is about the future. The real revolution already happened, quietly, over the last twenty years, and you took part without noticing, your spell check, search results, spam filter, photo editor, route map, medical scans, and code…
AI AdoptionIn 2013, 3D printing was going to dissolve manufacturing, a printer in every home, download a hammer instead of buying one, supply chains gone in five years. None of it happened; it quietly found its real lane in prototyping. AI…
