First published in IZ 299, ‘Thirteen Ways of Looking at Airside by Christopher Priest’, @vallescurarule.bsky.social Val Nolan’s tremendous review, now free to read at @interzone.digital 👇 interzone.digital/thirteen-way... Get IZ 299 at Patreon, @weightlessbooks.bsky.social & @scarletferret.com

‘This is especially true of one late-in-the-novel experience of Justin being lost in Seoul’s Gimpo Intl. Airport. This episode is among the most striking in the book, and also one of the most fantastical, as space, time, and logic seems to collapse around Priest’s protagonist.’ Val’s super review 👇

THIRTEEN WAYS OF LOOKING AT AIRSIDE BY CHRISTOPHER PRIEST: Val Nolan on the genre-defying literary maestro’s final novel // IZ Digitalinterzone.digital ‘There are no aliens or portals here; there is, perhaps, a time/space slippage, but the reality of that is up to each reader to decide. A speculative audience will hum along to the book’s eerie tune.’...

Satellite images analysed by Al Jazeera's digital investigation team, Sanad show that more than half (60 percent) of Gaza's farmland, crucial for feeding the war-ravaged territory’s hungry population, has been damaged or destroyed by Israeli attacks. A genocidal campaign in clear view.

"...the idea that everyone is going to go from selling burgers in the summer to becoming nuclear experts and working on this site is ridiculous. There will be specialists brought in to do the work.” They're still pushing this nuclear waste dump crap here in Cumbria. The bribes are flowing.

As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

Aaaaand this is will be Chris' new author photo. 😁

One the great mysteries of parenthood is wondering what you look like through your children's eyes. Anyway, for Father's Day the whole family went out for a pub lunch and we gave the 4yo some felt tips to keep her occupied while we waited for the food.

Just going to add that as the new blurb... 🤷‍♂️

First, people who don’t charge are also pros, and lots of them (me included) give feedback. Second, paying doesn’t guarantee feedback. Third, if you wanna pay for feedback, hire an editor.

This is very nice and should be an extremely basic addition for every studio & publisher and it has unfortunately gotten to the point where if they don’t say something like this, you can’t really trust them until they do

New language for our publisher guidelines? "We don't knowingly sell titles that employ generative AI in any capacity. If we find out a particular title was created using AI, we reserve the right to remove AI-generated portions or delete the title from our offerings entirely." Opinions welcome

I'm working on a No AI policy at Libreture too.

No AI at Libreture! 💜 The proliferation of machine-generated junk has created informational flotsam that is disabling web searches, even while search engine providers themselves are adding to the junk with their own tools.

No AI at Libreturelibreture.com Libreture exists to support readers, independent publishers, and authors. There’s no place in that for machine-generated tools, especially those that steal content.

Get in on that time-travelling ape death squad × planetary secret history × incisive art commentary action, only in INTERZONE #299 scarletferret.com/magazines/in... weightlessbooks.com/interzone-299/ And Roby’s ‘The Ship’, reprinted in IZ Digital, is not to be missed interzone.digital/the-ship/

💫 #endorsement from @aknighton.bsky.social (via a subscriber): ‘I really enjoyed this month’s IZ, one of my favourite sff magazines […] the standout for me this time was a story about time-travelling apes and a battle with a machine god. If that doesn't whet your appetite, I don't know what will.’

Keep saying it loud and often: generative "AI" is not intelligent, it is riddled with inescapable errors, it is structurally incapable of ever doing half the things its hypers claim it will do, most of it is snake oil in search of a mark to scam, and it's environmentally destructive to boot.
