Book Review: Blood & Water
It’s not that dystopias are anything new, or even stories of environmental collapse. But the SF stories and novels of the last several years have to be placed differently than the catastrophes imagined in the 40s, or even the 70s and 80s.
We’re living in a heavily depressed economy. Our countries are waging resource wars. We’re seeing the effects of a changed climate. The stories written today . . . exist in a different real-world context, and therefore might be part of a new speculative genre that couldn’t have existed until recently.

The site is undergoing some changes, which will also affect the type and frequency of writing I’ll be able to do there. Of course, it’s been months since I’ve done much writing of all other than a minimal amount of assigned work. I’ve been passive rather than proactive, in other words.
However, I had a single, unexpected day off from work, and was able to get a few articles in under the wire, before the implementation of the new schedule, and here they are.

Settling back in to a day job (more than one, in fact) has been going swimmingly, but I need to wedge my writing in there somehow. I went about two weeks without getting any blogging done, but I’m back in the saddle now.
