POV: My book, set “in the future” in 2050 when it’s now closer than Y2K

A subject very close to my heart from fellow Transworld Books author Michael Cordy, who also wrote the fantastic The Miracle Strain (later retitled The Messiah Code) all the way back in 1997. His new one looks fantastic and the wonderful folks at PRH have even sent me an ARC 🙌

It was great to discuss the impact of techn and AI on crime writing with the brilliant Ajay Chowdhury on Front Row last night (we are about 42 mins in) and there is a shout out for Harrogate Festivals Theakston’s Old Peculiar Crime Festival which starts tomorrow! bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

There’s a guy on Instagram who started posting about his journey to getting legally euthanised in the Netherlands, so he started a “last supper project” where he goes to his followers’ homes to have supper with them before he dies. The date for him to be euthanised was 30 July.

War of the Worlds, in the style of Cloverfield meets Modern Family S6E16 ("Connection Lost")? Count me excited.

Exciting bookmail today! I am so excited to read #ArtificialWisdom by THOMAS R. WEAVER and after a shameless plea the lovely Elizabeth (libcreads on insta) sent me a copy she had. I cannot wait to dive in, think it’s going to be brilliant and raise some interesting thoughts.

“Like nothing else I’ve read before” is literally the nicest thing to hear 🙏🙏
