The Enhanced Games
The Enhanced Games might actually get off the ground and offer a place where athletes can use steroids and other scientific enhancements while competing. They hope to get the “real” world records. And if you care to say that this … Continue reading

Dystopias Over Utopias?
It seems to me there is a predilection in modern science fiction to discount all utopias but not to do the same with the dystopias. While I agree that utopias are generally out of reach for societies, there seems to … Continue reading

Clones, Replicons and Exactoids, Oh My!

Fabricated Diagram
My new book, Fabricated, links together fundamentally different fantasy machines. The following diagram lists these fantasy machines and the story in Fabricated that contains the link. Notice how the arrows connecting the machines only go one way. This is because … Continue reading
The Weakest Link in “Fabricated”
In my collection of short stories called “Fabricated”, I link together disparate fantasy machines. I’ve been saying they are strong links, but there is one weaker link. For time travel into the past, I substitute seeing into the past. I … Continue reading
