Readers often ask how I "predict" the futures portrayed in my novels. Rather than looking for trends and extrapolating them into predictions, I scout for weird pockets of futures that have already arrived. Then I remix and riff on those to imagine one of many possible tomorrows.

Our latest science fiction short takes nothing for granted. Not Mars. Not gender stereotypes. Not even the nature of these so called "colonies" we keep talking about. x.com/nfarmerlinguist/status…

Currently working on @join_scout's next dispatch on space by the talented @beckyferreira. Just did a Google Image Search for "space is sexy" & the results were almost exclusively this. Suddenly it's seeming very meaningful that this piece will be both written & edited by women.
