Blog postAlso need to remind myself that I have three talks to write for autumn. One needs to be one of those anthemic call-to-action things that I somehow find remarkably easy. Believe it or not, I’m not always a walking demotivational poster. I can do the uplifting stuff standing on my head, weirdly. One is a talk for my visiting professorship at York St John University, which is probably going to be a dive into the mechanisms of narrative. The last one is actually going to be the

Blog postIt’s time to start writing a new book. Which means, really, that it’s time to start staring into space and thinking about it, because I have several more things to finish before I can really dig into it. This could be weeks. Right now, it’s a couple of plaintext files of lines and thoughts and a couple of pages of rough notes and bullet points in a Moleskine. I have a Field Notes notebook on the shelf that it will start to get developed in, but I can’t let myself pick it up

Blog postThe Echo Show – which I can’t buy in the UK, of course, because Amazon thinks we’re a third world country, so go to Amazon.com to look at it, I suppose — is probably the device that should have come before the Echo and the Dot. It’s the actual device you want in the kitchen. Or, at least, the one I would want in the kitchen. I get up, I go to the kitchen, I make coffee — I want to know what the weather’s doing, what the news is, what deliveries are lined up for the day, and I want

Blog postVery excited about America these days. Really enjoyed the MAD MAX films, looking forward to the theme park i kind of want to entitle my next book SLAVOJ ZIZEK, IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO FUCK OFF NOW I miss public twitter until I use it and them I’m all “who invented this hell site and why are they not in prison” VALERIAN trailer was fun but both of the eyebaggy skinny grey leads look seriously into heroin. The future’s rough, I guess there’s an “opioid epidemic” in the USA but nobody talks about how

Blog post“Dark Social” is the notion that people share “content” via private/secure messaging apps, one-to-one or one-to-select-group. That social sharing activity can’t be measured in any useful way. There is no freely-available prosumer tool to quantify the sharing of a link. Hence, they call it “dark social.” When you hear someone say “dark social,” they’re bemoaning the inability to get click reports off of actual conversation. Because when you see someone on the stre

Blog postI burned through John Scalzi’s new book, THE COLLAPSING EMPIRE, in a single week last month. (I’ve been on a lot of trains) My brain needed a break from the heavy stuff I’ve been reading and the amount of processing I’ve been doing, and I don’t think John would be sad to hear that his smooth, witty entertainments are very much a warm bath for an overclocked brain that just wants to sink into something fun and resting.
I suspect that this book, the first of his long-term publishi -
Blog postSomewhere, there’s a GIF of this. It’s the Chanel show in Dallas in 2013. It’s in a rodeo. Karl Lagerfeld shuffles into the middle of the space. Spreads his hands and says “I’m done.” The crowd in the stands break into applause. The doors at the back fly open and an army models walks out, applauding, striding in formation towards him. And he just strolls out of sight as they march around and past him. It is one of the most surreal expressions of cultural power you’ll ever see. Seriously

Blog postFinally got to see SHIN GODZILLA, made last year by writer/director Hideaki Anno, whose name you may know from NEON GENESIS EVANGELION. It is recognisably Anno from the top – the staring, dead animal eyes of the creature at the top of the movie could really only be his touch. SHIN GODZILLA, known elsewhere as GODZILLA RESURGENCE, updates the original by adding the bureaucratic nightmare of the Fukushima reactor disaster to its core theme. And it works brilliantly, imagining

Blog postFrom the superb STAR SHIPS by Gordon White (UK) (US):
…it appears mankind’s relationship with alcohol is a lot older than we expected. It used to be that historians assumed wine was first created with the domestication of grapes, but following discoveries in Iran or wine residue in stone bowls at the Neolithic burial site of Körtik Tepe – also in Southeast Turkey – we can now see that wine-making predates agriculture.
‘It can now be safely stated that people’s first inter -
Blog postWarren Ellis is the award-winning writer of graphic novels like TRANSMETROPOLITAN, FELL, MINISTRY OF SPACE and PLANETARY, and the author of the NYT-bestselling GUN MACHINE and the “underground classic” novel CROOKED LITTLE VEIN. The movie RED is based on his graphic novel of the same name.
A new novella, NORMAL is released November 29 2016.

Blog postThomas Pynchon’s AGAINST THE DAY is a book that is almost impossible to finish. In many ways, it defeats the point of finishing it. It’s more than a thousand pages long, and each individual scene is pretty much the size of a novella. It’s a novel that you can dip into like an encyclopedia. It’s set between 1893 and World War I, and it came out in 2006. It’s in no way current. But I’m sitting down and writing this because it’s about everything. It migh

Blog postThis is a thing I’ve been following since last year. Willow Brugh has just taken a shot at simplifying it for stupid people like me.
Some friends of mine have been advocating for this rad thing called IndieWeb. It’s a way of regaining control of your information, data, and profile online. This is my first pass at explaining what it is they’re up to.
I post it here both because it’s interesting and because I have a strong urge to use it as the basis for developing th -

Blog postHello. I’ve been reading cookbooks.
There’s a certain kind of cookbook that you — or at least I — can read like it’s fiction. Science fiction, even. I was talking with Janice Wang, a researcher at MIT Media Lab, about this at South By the other day. (That was a really interesting visit, by the way.) She was trying to put together a thing about food in science fiction, and having a little trouble finding too much about food culture in sf. And all I could think of was the three c -

Blog postA little while ago, my friend Wil Wheaton was kind enough to read my short story DEAD PIG COLLECTOR, and my publisher, FSG, was kind enough to publish it via Macmillan Audio and Audible. This here should be the Amazon link.
The original ebook is still doing well in the Kindle Singles charts. I’m still very fond of the story. You can find it here.

Blog postLaunching this May, a new science fiction comics serial by myself and Jason Howard, entitled TREES, will be published by Image Comics.
(If longtime readers were wondering what happened to the SCATTERLANDS experiment? We got involved with this instead. Basically, we had so much fun doing SCATTERLANDS that we wondered what a full series together would look like, and then it took over.)
I’m working on the end of issue 4 right now, while Jason has just wrapped issue 3. -

Blog postI appear to have killed another laptop. I seem to beat them to death — and I’m using Lenovos, which are supposed to be road-warrior machines — every year or so. This one lasted eighteen months before throwing a BSOD and refusing to start Windows, insisting that a patch was preventing the system from… well, doing anything, really.
I’m flying out to LA in a week, and I have three critical jobs to complete before I go. Waiting until the Lenovo gets fixed -

In the intimate surroundings of The Farmhouse Barn, writer Warren Ellis sits down for a State Of The Weird, picking over the radioactive bones of 2013 and gathering the stories for a Briefing on the science-fiction condition of 2014. That night, he will be in the middle of writing a novella about futurists and a non-fiction book about the future of cities — except that they’ -
Blog postI’ve spent my entire life within ten miles of this river. I navigate through a full quarter of the country by the direction of this river. I will spend half of 2014 thousands of miles from it, for work and for life. It’s a river that forgives us for that, because for millennia it’s done nothing but spit shabby Englishmen out into the world. River salt in our blood.
Happy Solstice, Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. Stay well and stay alive, and I’ll see you on the other side.

Blog postAt some point over the weekend, I will be sending out the first post from a new email newsletter system, replacing the old MACHINE VISION newsletter that was sponsored by my previous book publisher. The onboarding page for ORBITAL OPERATIONS can be found, not unreasonably, at http://orbitaloperations.com/. Yes, it’s very minimalist. No need for anything fancier.

Blog postWe are now revising and making new t-shirts with Diesel Sweeties. This is one of the new Doctor Whisky t-shirts. There are two, and they can be viewed in the Diesel Sweeties store at the moment. The design for the other, a black t with glowing white ink, should appear below.
I believe it is important to display the trappings of one’s hard-earned medical expertise. Write fine prescriptions. Operate on people in bars.

Blog postWild about Wolverine — Attaching Adamantium Claws To An X-Man’s Skeleton
Wolverine. One of the most powerful, engaging, and controversial characters in the Marvel Universe. Or in any comics universe, really. He’s got some amazing characteristics, powers and abilities. Chief among those are Wolverine’s amazing adamantium claws. They are unbreakable and sharp as a Samurai’s katana. They were grafted to Wolverine’s skeleton, we are told. But how do they stay in there?

I also have presences on Tumblr, Facebook (a Page) and G+, but those are just coverage and for occasional play. The Snapchat account is also just me farting around: I’ve been writing about apps and code in that general space lately, which is why I have it. Also also, I have WhatsApp, for friends only.
And that’s that. After Friday, there won’t be daily posts here for some time, so I thought I’d get this in now, just f -
