• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

Fantastic news! That's a great angle. What's fascinating is that so much of what was science fiction when I was a boy is now fact. Scientific research is now going exponential.

I was just discussing with a friend how it seems like science fiction writers have accurately predict scientific progress and how we read sci-fi stories in terms of possibilities. I read an article today about phenotyping unknown DNA to solve murders and how very new (and unreliable) this technology is, and I thought it fit quite well in this topic.

Congratulations on being included in the anthology, and thank you for posting the link. I'm ashamed to say I haven't stumbled across his blog yet, but I'm remedying that now.
