NOMADLAND is a grim reminder of Gibson's aphorism that "the future is already here--it's just not evenly distributed." I once naively thought that meant the shiny, cool future of tech would trickle down--now I realize it also refers to post-apocalyptic futures that seep up.
Sorry, you lose the right to complain about partisanship once you've fanned the flames of violent insurrection. https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1364628986769399818
Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA) goes off on Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) during USPS oversight hearing:
“I didn’t vote to overturn an election. And I will not be lectured by people who did about partisanship.”
People are really trying to dissect what is a "cage," what is a "facility," what is a "shelter," when the bigger issue we should be dissecting is very simple: why have we as a country been criminalizing migration from the Global South since the 1990s and even before that?

Yeah, too bad my table manners are atrocious.
Seriously, I’m delighted, too. And the cover looks terrific.

Just found out!
Dear Bob,
I’m so bad at keeping up with my friends’ blogs that I just found out about the Electric Velocipede publication about 20 minutes ago. I just ordered the issue (not without difficulty, as they (Paypal) didn’t like my Visa card. And I am really champing at the bit!
EV is caviar and your short fiction is caviar, I await with bated breath. (If I had said “baited breath,” that would have been a mixed, mangled metaphor, but I didn’t.)

Re: Just found out!
Hi Mary. Don’t worry about it. You could read it for free at Electric Velocipede’s website.
And thanks very much for the kind words. Praise from the praiseworthy.
