“MENEWOOD convinces us that the magic is embedded in history itself.” @garykwolfe reviews @nicolaz (@nicolaz.bsky.social @nicolaz@mastodon.sdf.org) locusmag.com/2023/11/gary-k…
Seattle! TONIGHT!! Weds 18 Oct, 7:00 pm. Free. I'll be at @ThirdPlaceBooks Lake Forest Park geeking out with @nealstephenson about all things Menewood and Early Medieval—kings as logicians, the maps of war, roads, religion, science...
Tomorrow (Oct 3) Menewood will be available wherever books are sold. It's a book to read by the fire while the wind howls and you feel glad to alive...
The last night that MENEWOOD belongs only to me. Tomorrow it’s out of my hands and into the world. A cocktail to send it on its way…
The ebook of Matt Ruff's 2003 novel Set This House in Order: A Romance of Souls (about multiple personalities) is on sale for $2.99. This is one of his best but least-known novels, despite great reviews and three literary awards. About the novel: bymattruff.com/set-this-house…

The appearance that existing AI has such an understanding is a mere superficial effect of it regurgitating statistically likely correlations in writing or images. This appearance is then exaggerated by social media and editorial curation surfacing the most noteworthy 0.001%.
