Yes, there's a forthcoming new edition. Jessica's post has more info.
A lot has been happening: I jacked up my back over the weekend at Comicpalooza, but it's finally getting better. We had a part replaced on our HVAC system that was supposed to take 2 hours and took 8, but it's working a lot better now. Our solar panel installation started today.
I loved this book and highly recommend it!
Just a reminder-you can preorder the forthcoming new edition of Substrate Phantoms from Fairwood Press!

This is a really good thread:
I know I harp on this a lot, but y'all really need to understand that fictional characters, like real-live people, sometimes lie about their intentions and motivations. Killmonger's intent was not to "liberate marginalized people." You can tell because, when he had power, he did not do that.
All Systems Red is a book club pick for New Scientist, and there's an essay by me to go with it: www.newscientist.com/article/2432...
Sci-fi author Martha Wells on what a machine intelligence might want
The author of All Systems Red, the latest pick for the New Scientist Book Club, on why her novella takes on the thorny topic of what a machine intelligence might do, if it could make its own choices
www.newscientist.comThis goes for me too. I am not on Facebook, I don't even have time to be here now. I am behind on everything. I made the bed this morning with my phone in it.
Reminder that if anyone on Facebook contacts you claiming to be me, it isn’t. Also if anyone, no matter how famous, tries to hard sell you on a writing coach or book trailer or whatever this version is pitching, be very very suspicious!
Re-upping this for the Monday people:
When I got to the set on Friday, a chair was waiting for me. Everyone was so lovely and did so many things to make me feel welcome and included. I got to take the chair back home because I won’t be able to get up there again before they finish filming.

Each year, some of the most beloved legends and rising stars from film, television, comic books come to Comicpalooza.
www.comicpalooza.comNo, unfortunately, they don’t have much left to film, and we don’t know if there’s going to be a second season yet.

I don’t know about paperbacks yet. There will be som reissues next year.
So besides the event at the Merril Collection for the awesome Bakka-Phoenix bookstore, I actually came up here to visit the set of the Murderbot TV show and watch some filming. And it was a fabulous and inspiring experience!
