More trope-ing-ly good news ...
" … Worth your time, your money, and your consideration, whether you’re interested in accessible science, looking to understand trends in science fiction, or -- optimally -- both."
-- Trevor Quachri, editor of Analog Science Fiction
and Fact (excerpted from his guest foreword)
Trevor refers there, of course, to
Trope-ing the Light Fantastic: The Science Behind the Fiction. And as for his suggestion re how you might prudently invest your reading dollars 😉
In conjunction with last week's release of
Trope-ing in a new/trade-paperback print edition (as announced last week in
Trope-ing redux), the publisher has now
also reduced the price of the several ebook formats.
As I've previously summarized the book:
Not familiar with
Trope-ing the Light Fantastic? It's my 2018
nonfiction book exploring the scientific underpinnings of the many
tropes of our favorite genre. Faster-than-light travel (from which, of
course, the book takes its title). Time travel. Interstellar warfare.
True (human-equivalent or higher) artificial intelligence. Telepathy.
And
so much more ....
And (this being a strictly commercial post), herewith three convenient Amazonian links:
(Nor do I mean to imply that your savvy-shopping options are limited to Amazon! The same new-and-reduced ebook price has gone into effect for Nook, Kobo, and iTunes editions. As for print editions, pretty much
every etailer
offers them, while your
favorite brick-and-mortar bookstore -- if you don't find this title on
their physical shelves -- will always happily order a copy for you.)
Hence: I'm delighted to announce my debut appearance in Future Science Fiction Digest. "The Satellites of Damocles" -- a brand-new AI PI novelette -- is hot out of the electron mines in newly released Issue 3.
