Hey folks, I'm pleased to announce that I'll be at this years Edinburgh International Book Festival, talking to the wonderful Georgina Godwin about my new novel - For Emma. We'll be exporing "the acceleration of technology, Al, resistance, and what it is to be human." Come along
Don't miss this, Edina people. Few finer writers in Scotland than the bold @kieran_hurley
HEADS UP - Kieran Hurley presented by Disaster Plan 2 Aug, 8pm Multi-award-winner Kieran Hurley weaves a picture of a familiar city at its moment of destruction, asking what would we do if we found ourselves at the end of our world as we know it. 🎟️ bit.ly/3ZOql91

A stunning review by SPEN board member, Jim Aitken, of the remarkable book, We Are not Numbers. A collection of work by young writers from #Gaza, Aitken rightly describes it as 'the most important book of the year'. (1) bit.ly/458DaxP
Very pleased to get this great essay/book review from Vincenzo Barney. He tackles big tech and sci-fi head on.
“This is what the world would look like if it were dictated by Bill Gates’ vision of using AI to police ‘misinformation.’” Against A.I. Review essay of For Emma by Vincenzo Barney. barneysrubble.substack.com/p/against-ai

Remember when people said "The Metaverse" would revolutionise everything? Total losses so far - $45+ billion Meta laid off 21,000+ employees in 2022-23 due to Metaverse overinvestment. No technology is fated. We decide which technology gets put back in the box.
Mohammed Moussa, poet, editor, and the founder of the Gaza Poets Society.
"Technology can't be put back in the box" the AI pushers say. Well, here's the box & the tech literally being reboxed for second hand sale. This is an unwanted Meta Quest 2 VR headset, now re-selling for less than 1/2 price after the Metaverse flopped. LLMs can be reboxed too.
Great new publishing project in Scotland
