Today (July 7) is publication day for my new book. I’m incredibly proud of This Machine Kills Billionaires. Available now in all formats, I can’t wait for you to read it. If you’re after dark, thoughtful, propulsive, but above all: deeply human science fiction, look no further.
Quick reminder: I'll be in Adelaide this weekend for @SupanovaExpo. Signing books Saturday and Sunday, and will be MC-ing the panel with the Aliens actors on the Sunday (which is pretty fucking cool).
He’s not bad (for a human). @TheEscherMan returns to Adelaide and Brisbane with the perfect piece of prose for Aliens Supa-Fans!
T.R. Napper is the first Australian author to write a tie-in to the Aliens franchise with Aliens: Bishop. For more info, visit supa.fans/TRNapper

The Writers Guild speaks out about tech platforms squashing the @alexgibneyfilm doc about Elon Musk:
“A small handful of billionaires now own virtually every major media company, news outlet, social media platform and are demonstrating how this unchecked concentration threatens democratic discourse.”

Every time I’m guest at a big Con, someone will approach my table, see my array of cyberpunk books, and ask me where they should begin.
My short answer is always this: anywhere you like. They're all stand-alone.
But here's the long answer:

whenever someone brings up using AI for creative work, I think about this
what we create also creates us

C. S. Lewis on why you NEED to read old books. This has never been more vital than it is today
Everyone talks about the deadly snakes and myriad spiders in Australia, but they usually leave you alone. These buggers, however? A menace.

It is with immense honour, delight and mind-blown gratitude for his time that we present to you part 1 of our extra-long interview spectacular with none other than RICHARD K MORGAN!!! 🤯🥳🥰
Listen to the fascinating thoughts of the author of cyberpunk classic Altered Carbon (as well as a host of other ace books), including some brilliant insights into what it feels like to have your debut book become a bestseller, get optioned for movie rights, and eventually be adapted into one of Netflix's most biggest budget shows ever!!

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
Well this is awesome. Pop culture behemoth CBR just dropped their top 5 list of 'essential' cyberpunk books. Four are much as you'd expect (Do Androids Dream, Neuromancer, Snow Crash, and Altered Carbon), & one you wouldn't. My debut, 36 Streets.

Early days, but the response to my latest work has been fantastic. This Machine Kills Billionaires (@awfulagent) currently my highest rated book ever.
