Hilariously, one of the dogs (Layla) can use the cat door and the other two are both jealous and confused.

Did some minor tweaking to the site. A little happier with how it looks today.

Did a bit of a redesign on the website. Not completely finished, as I'm not completely happy with it, but I do think some improvements were made. Check it out? modayode.com

Cyberpunk Essentials 3: Techdlvr.it I know I talked a bit about tech in the first of these posts, but I wanted to dig in a little more. This is some of the tech featured in Serotonin Overload.

I drove a Cybertruck around SF because I am a smart, cool alpha malewww.sfgate.com You can rent a Tesla Cybertruck for a day, if you dare, and SFGATE columnist Drew Magary dared.

35 days to release, so once more re-upping the preliminary hype posts and reminding all that Pre-orders are Live! books2read.com/b/mqazL8

Cyberpunk Essentials 2: Musicdlvr.it I wanted music to figure into Serotonin Overload in some integral way. I came up with a music genre called algopunk in which human musicians compete with algorithmically generated loops...

Sweet Galactus, I hate this picture. Anyway, Rosewater is the New Scientist Book Club pick. I carry on about it here.

39 days until release, so reposting some build up and hype and once again gritting my teeth and blathering about Pre-orders. books2read.com/u/mqazL8

My Cyberpunk Essentialsdlvr.it When I started working on Serotonin Overload, I looked at the history of cyberpunk and thought about what the genre means to me. What story elements are simply must have for this book?

But anyway, we are blessed that none of the five beasts with whom we share our home are unduly put out by fireworks. They ignore the booms. Griz briefly lifted his head once then resumed snoozing.

Ugh.

Cyberpunk Essentials 4: Lowlifesdlvr.it I’ve talked about the dystopia, the tech, and the music. Today I want to share some of the shady characters lurking in Cap City’s neon drenched mean streets. First off, Serotonin Overload herself. The girl leaned against her motorbike, arms crossed over…

I still need a couple more review readers. 40 days to launch, I know it's a bit last minute but I've been told (often) my prose is breezy and easy to read quickly...

I'm about to need ARC readers. If you're interested in reading a cyberpunk (or maybe it's post cyberpunk, IDK) thriller with twists and turns, a clone heist ("clone heist!"), and a plot to end capitalism you should probably let me know.

Finally, a torment nexus worthy of the name. Bravo. 🤦

oh my god now there's a "future of prison" startup that says it will use AI and brain implants to plant fake memories into the brains of criminals, "rehabilitating" them in minutes instead of years and I am going to spend the rest of the day screaming now sciencetimes.com/articles/509...

I bought a new pen yesterday so I'm still riding that high

Some time in the next few days I'll relate all the weird and tumultuous events of the past 3 months. It's been a time.

Every. Time.

A thing that happens over and over when I'm editing: I'll change a boring word to something more evocative, then find that the new evocative word is already in the very next sentence. Time and time again, all my writing life.

Today my vacation is over. So that sucks.
