The Stories We Haven’t Told Yet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Dystopian fiction imagines countless ways civilization might fall apart. What we really need are stories that help us imagine a better future.In this conversation, novelists Kristine Madera and Henry L. Sullivan III explore the power of fiction to shift our expectations of the future from catastrophe and collapse to something more hopeful. From artificial intelligence and familiar savior myths to the possibility of building more caring, cooperative societies, what would a world worth living in a
Updating Descartes' Doubt Method in the Age of Confirmation Bias (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m not sure if this is still a thing, but when I was a kid, we used to talk about what superpower we’d want. Mine has always been to be fluent in every language and culture through all time, and even alien cultures if there are any. When I said this out loud, other kids would either look at me dumbfounded or tease me mercilessly, so I changed my public answer to invisibility because, why not?

So I have necessarily, and hopefully temporarily, pared back new essays to every other week. Because I’m a rebel at heart, and also to shake things up a bit, this week I’m sharing the first chapter of my novel, God in Drag, which is usually behind an email opt-in wall. I wrote God in Drag to unpack and process five months of backpacker travel in India, including six weeks of volunteeri
The Domination Machine Doesn't Care What Flag You Fly (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The old curse, may you live in interesting times, seems fashioned for our current turbulence. At the same time, everything is also sooooo tediously boring because we’re playing the same domination game over and over again ad nauseam. Sure, this version comes with shiny new multiplayer screens, with rogue AI agents juicing the stakes, and with newish teams remixed from old friends and old rivals. But, for all the drama, we’re just recycling the same fraying arguments. To keep this from sprawling
