Random thought of the day:

The first vertebrates, what we colloquially think of as complex life, appeared on earth roughly 500 million years ago.

The human agricultural revolution, and the beginning of what we think of as civilization, started roughly 10,000 years ago.

In other words, the entire span of human civilization could have occurred 50,000 times since complex life first appeared.

That's enough time for at least one flourishing civilization of intelligent non-human animals to have emerged, developed, peaked, collapsed, and disappeared. That's enough time for more than one.

🚀Artist: #DEIHXLF / #DEIH in City: #Alcantarilla #Murcia Spain 🇪🇸 10/2023 - Title: "IDENTITY" - #Streetart #Art #Artist #Mural #ScienceFiction #CyberPunk #SprayArt #Comic #MurciaStreetartProject

Streetartwall. A fantasy mural with a cyber creature has been sprayed/painted on the outside wall of a three-storey high building. The background is designed like a four-part comic strip in blue and turquoise. The slender figure is depicted from the side and stands in a rugged purple mountain landscape. She is wearing blue jeans, a studded belt, a long-sleeved T-shirt and a purple jacket hanging in tatters from her body. The environment shows a dynamic movement, colorful stones fly around as if the, presumably female, figure were exposed to invisible forces. She is also wearing an old pilot's cap and looking down at her hands, which are wrapped in bandages. The comic next to her also shows three images of her fingertips, which glow strangely brightly. The last image at the bottom shows a solitary figure in an unreal landscape with an undulating hill. The mural is about the search for one's own identity.
Info: Spanish street artist Deih XLF has been painting on the street for more than twenty years, but he is also a comic artist and illustrator. His murals deal with science fiction and cyberpunk.

Happy to announce that my short story "Virus Alert" has been published on Every Day Fiction! Just a very short tale about the monsters we create. This one has been kicking around since the W Bush era, so I'm really glad it finally found a home, and in these times of pandemic and paranoia, I feel like it still has a lot of relevance. Why not give it a read? It's not like the government is monitoring you or anything... https://everydayfiction.com/virus-alert-xauriel-zwaan/

It suddenly struck me the other day that generative AI used in government and media has a very Memoirs Found in a Bathtub quality about it. One of the premises of Lem's (amazing) novel is that paper disintegrates for unknown reasons, leaving very few hard records of anything. The book is a mock diary of a person who lived through the disorienting chaos that ensued.

This is a book for the Fediverse. It's called OVERSCAN, and it's an anthology of #sciencefiction and #fantasy from #NantucketLit writers.

Learn more at https://nantucketlit.com/overscan.

I met many of the writers and artists involved in this book on the Fediverse, including @NylaWoethief, @amin, @atgonzalez, and @dinchenix. It will be published on Friday, August 9, as a free ebook on my site, and as a paperback. I am also selling an Apple II ebook edition on floppy disk... more on that later.

A CRT television glows in a dark room, illuminating the keyboard of a 1980s Apple II+ computer. On the TV screen, the pixelated image of a human eye looks back at the viewer. Above the monitor are the words 'OVERSCAN: STORIES FROM BEYOND THE SCREEN'S EDGE.' Between the monitor and the keyboard are the words 'sf and fantasy by Nicholas Bernhard / Buffalo / Sefton Eisenhart / AT Gonzalez / Benjamin Hollon / Seth Patterson / and David W. Stoner.'
