(view spoiler)[Dear Peter. I've been reading your books with great interest, and the one I just finished, named "Clowns", was very good.
Regarding your criticism of capitalism, I agree. But it is regulated, even in USA. Different countries choose different amount of regulation, which I think is a good thing. Too much regulation is bad too. I optimistically believe we are still finding our way on this and other issues. Agreement? (hide spoiler)]

"Too much regulation is bad" — yes, and not enough is worse! Fossil fuel companies themselves knew about climate change in the 1970s and understood the damage they were doing decades ahead of time. They chose to undermine public confidence and spread lies, which have irreparably damaged our planet. They should not have been free to spread disinformation. They should be held accountable for their lies.

Reading "The Artifact" and, while I get you're US-focused (seems weird for a New Zealander living in Australia; best guess is market size), I don't get why the UK/Welsh main character of the book refers to her parents as "Mom and dad". Native Brits call their mothers "mum", "mother", "mama", "mam", "mammy" but never, to my knowledge, "Mom". You seem to do a massive amount of research for your books so why "Mom"?

I just watched your YouTube video on your receipt of "Damn You, Entropy" I love reading your novels, and I'm grateful for the topics I can discuss with my SF padawan (my son). One of my most recent reads was "The Simulacrum". Wow, that ending! Thanks for the mind-blowing and brain enriching topics in your novels. And good choice of having a black cat as your muse. My question: Do you have two new novels coming out?
