Some people think we're living in a "Matrix"-like computer simulation. In Daryl Gregory's humorous cyberpunk science fiction novel "When We Were Real," they know they are. But that's not why BFFs J.P. and Dulin are taking a bus trip. To learn more about this sci-fi novel, check out this exclusive interview.

In these terrible times, escaping to Mars is not an option. But it could be...one day. In my new interview with author Joe Mungo Reed about his speculative fiction / science fiction novel "Terrestrial History," he tells a multi-generational story about colonizing the red planet.

If #civilization began again from scratch, what kinds of societies would evolve next time? #Communal, #capitalist. #theocratic, #meritocratic, #secular, #egalitarian, #exploitive? Societies are usually a combination of these types, but do they always combine as we expect them to? Are our choices about the type of #society we create completely up to us, or are we constrained by the environment and circumstance? Tomorrow is the last day I’ll be giving away my novel HUMAN to FediHumans. Visit bretthodnett.com/FreeHUMAN.htm and use the code ‘fedihuman’ to get your free EPUB!

Who counts as human? Throughout history, one all too common thread is that groups of people often do not believe that other groups of people are also #human. If we evolved apart so that we were different species, would we recognize our shared humanity? This week I’m offering free copies of my just released novel HUMAN to the fediverse . Just go to bretthodnett.com/FreeHUMAN.htm and use the code ‘fedihuman’.

bretthodnett.comHUMANA remarkable exploration of family, society, and what makes us human, HUMAN will take you from the post-apocalyptic world of the near future, to the two very different societies that emerge 15 million years later, where those few surviving individuals have evolved to become something that we might not fully recognize as human.
