Quillette is doing a series on the question, what will the first Martian government be like? I offer my opinion in this piece:

In Space, Let Meritocracy Reign Supreme

I also have appearing this same day a piece, more pure philosophy, on atheism, Camus, and the New Atheists:

Camus’s Atheism and the Virtues of Inconsistency

My story “Ulissa” is up now at Escape Pod. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

Escape Pod 676: Ulissa

Very pleased that my piece on Camus is up now on Quillette.

I’ll be speaking about 1984, and its continual relevance, at The Little Theatre, on April 4.  Come join me, and the novelist Ed Ashton, to discuss the importance of this book.  First, starting at 6:00 pm, there will be a screening of the 1984 version of 1984 (you know the one–with John Hurt and Richard Burton).  We’ll be talking afterward.  And it’s all for a good cause:  a part of the ticket sales will go to charity.

I’m giving a talk on Tuesday, free and open to the public, at the Rochester Institute of Technology.  It will be in Xerox Auditorium at 5:30 on May 12.  Poster below!  Do stop by if you want to know the answer.

 

I think I was maybe 4 when I first saw Star Trek.  From that moment, I wanted to be Spock.

RIP Leonard Nimoy, 1932-2015.
