What a difference 10 years makes. I blinked, and now I hold conversations with AI’s that could take my job or become my manager. Androids work in factories and for the military. The US government admits they’ve covered up alien visits. People have computer interfaces implanted in their heads. Private companies launch satellites and plan the colonization of Mars. Taxis and commercial trucks drive autonomously in our cities and across our countries.
I stated 10 years ago that it’s hard to write near future sci-fi, because it becomes science fact, too quickly. Yeah, … those where the simple days.
It’s time to give T. Gene Davis’s Speculative Blog an overdue spring cleaning. This new version is much more phone friendly. I’ve moved to a speedier server that actually loads the stories fast. I’ve also removed the vast majority of those spammy ads.
One last announcement, … I have begun work on the long awaited anthology with the goal of accepting stories again later this year. I’m not sure what written arts look like in the age of LLMs and the singularity, but we’ll find out together.
As always, contact me on Twitter, … er, … um, … X ?!
