Entry updated 15 September 2025. Tagged: Author.
(1989- ) US editor, journalist and author who is of sf interest for the Yours for the Taking sequence comprising two chronologically interwoven titles, Yours for the Taking (2023) and The Shutouts (2024). The first tale begins in 2041, as global warming (see Climate Change) and hints of some even more devastating Pandemic, radically destabilize the world; the second tale is set in 2050 New York, mostly in a Keep-like apartment, where Gender issues and a sense of immurement create a mini-Dystopia; in the end sections of the second tale, now set in 2078, various earlier figures explore and test living alternatives in a world which seems increasingly terminal for Homo sapiens. But some of us will survive. [JC]
