A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Love Catherynne M. Valente, amazing author. Check out her work if you haven't already; I'm partial to her collection of short stories, The Melancholy of Mechagirl
I just recently found her Substack and devoured most of the public posts. I haven't gotten any of her books yet, but she's on my list the next time I go into a bookstore. Are there any of her other works that you'd recommend?
I'm a sucker for short story compilations so I would also highly recommend The Future Is Blue.
I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, but Space Opera is also sitting on my shelf collecting dust. I've heard it described as "Eurovision in space"
Ok I'm sold, that's going to the top of the list.
I enjoyed Deathless!
Thank you for the recommendation!
I first saw her post https://catvalente.substack.com/p/stop-talking-to-each-other-and-start linked from the Cory Doctrow "enshittification" piece. It is very well written and worth a read for anyone who grew up with the old internet.
