The proof is in the Pudding...

Tomorrow night, we'll discuss the final set of stories in Far Out: Recent Queer Science Fiction and Fantasy, edited by Paula Guran. I want to thank Mike Mazza again for nominating the book, which has been one of the strongest anthologies we've ever read. 


By coincidence, the Economist's latest "Off the Charts" newsletter links to "Who Killed the World?," a fascinating piece in The Pudding that documents the growing trend toward pessimism in science fiction. I'd never heard of the site, which bills itself as "a digital publication that explains ideas debated in culture with visual essays," but I'm glad I checked it out. I invite you to do likewise.
