What I started writing vs what I wrote
In the acknowledgements of Six Mile Store (obligatory pre-order link!) I mention that it took me over 20 years to write this novella. That is true, but perhaps only in the sense that I set out an initial set of vignettes and character sketches over 20 years ago and showed it to someone whose opinion I cared about, who said something along the lines of yeah that’s really boring and I have no intere

“What’s true? What’s false? In case you haven’t noticed, the world has pretty much given up on the old Enlightenment idea of piecing together the truth based on observed data. Reality is too complicated and scary for that. Instead, it’s way easier to ignore all data that doesn’t fit your preconceptions and believe all data that does.
