I have waxed two more pieces inspired by @cydethan.bsky.social 's Bad Sector.
They are
"Fall Without Fear"
And
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM"
To understand them and their titles you'll have to read the book...which you can find pinned on my feed.

Some anonymous clown seems to be going to a lot of trouble to get me to answer calls from unknown numbers this week. Two in the space of a minute this morning alone.
Mate, I barely even pick up for people I know. I'd basically forgotten my ancient Galaxy S10 still retained that vestigial function.

Slick prose, dense world-building, brutal and brilliant. #BadSector is conceptually packed yet remains deeply human at the heart of the story. Seriously, folks, get on this.
In 1992 I met a wild eyed storyteller.
By 18th May 2011 (14 years ago today) I'd spent over half my life with him.
Today it's 64% so grab his novel, Bad Sector -
a murderous cyber-punk identity crisis of silicon and scar tissue - dedicated to me & celebrate with us!

My brain just loudly interrupted my day to remind me about telephone engaged tones. We've had no landline since about 2010, and use mobiles as phones so rarely that the idea of needing a specific sound to tell you that two people were trying to ring you *at the same time* feels like science fiction.
