The Future of News; the Future of Us.
Three years ago, I wrote a short story called “American Gold Mine,” about news for profit. Last year, it was published in the Oct/Nov Issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction.
For a long time, I’ve been troubled by the the trends I’ve been seeing in the way news is reported, and how it’s monetized. It’s why I wrote “The Gambler” a decade ago. “American Gold Mine” is another attempt at the same puzzle, from another angle.
I still feel like I’m trying to find the shape of our future, much like the blind man feeling the elephant. I don’t have any illusions that I’ve comprehended the whole shape, but given events over the last year, it seems like I might have caught the tail.

Your analogy of the blind man and the elephant is an apt one. The biggest fear for me in our society going forward is based in the immense unknown before us.
