This is a problem I've noticed especially with some of the collections of Solarpunk short stories. I really wanted to like them and couldn't Walkaway was way better than most of it and as you said the writing is, pretty awkward at

The two paragraphs in the middle about how it gets harder as you get older is exactly the problem I'm having right now. Your standards rise, which is generally good, and you have fewer long blocks of time. Both of these problems are fr

If you find this frustrating I recommend finding a local news source that you trust and supporting it. Your money goes a lot further and will be more appreciated with local events. Be aware it's not always a paper per se. In San Diego

"A…depressingly mountainous amount of the self-identified cyberpunk fiction I see now is stuck firmly in the 1980s. It's not new, fresh, or original. It's paint-by-numbers Imitation Gibson. It's Blade Runner fan fic, or

I've been fortunate to never need to use greynet medicine but this seems like a comprehensive guide to it. But the author only lists 4rnx and unitedpharmacies. Are there other ones people use?
