Well, I've just signed a new two book deal with Orbit for more in the world of Snakewood, but I'm going back 250 years to tell the story of the origin of The Post. That'll be out next year I'm afraid!

Dead Astronauts & Postcapitalist Desire

Dead Astronauts by Jeff Vandermeer is hard sci-fi. There’s no space opera grandeur here, it’s far more profound. It offers a tender and bleak vision of how humanity changes and fails.
