@eliotpeper.bsky.social’s new book comes out to day. Here’s what I thought about it. 👇
Simon Bisson@sbisson.com · 10mo agoRecent Reads: Ensorcelled. Eliot Peper's novella is a love story, to the mountains of the High Sierra and to the power of storytelling and gameplaying. It's also the story of a life well-lived and, oh so much more, all packed into a little volume that shows we can still make beautiful books. Worthy.
I've been an @eliotpeper.bsky.social fan for years now. I read this cover-to-cover in one sitting. Can't recommend ENSORCELLED more highly. bsky.app/profile/elio...
Eliot Peper@eliotpeper.bsky.social · 10mo agoMy new book drops today! Ensorcelled is a coming-of-age adventure about a boy who goes on a camping trip that changes his life, opening his mind and rewilding his attention. At just 90 pages, it's a one-sitting read that will suck you in, make you think, and leave you changed.

Straight out of an @eliotpeper.bsky.social novel. His novel Foundry, specifically. A recommended near-future thriller about the geopolitics of silicon.

“This is how I wish the world was different” is one of my least favorite genres of discourse. On the other hand, “here is a concrete plan for making this particular aspect of the world better” is one of my favorites.

Current advances in AI make a lot of science fiction feel obsolete, but Ian M. Banks’s Culture novels and Hannu Rajaniemi’s Quantum Thief trilogy hold up surprisingly well.
A study of solar farms in East Anglia in the United Kingdom has shown that they host nearly three times more birds than surrounding croplands. Solar sites maintaining diverse habitats, uncut grass, and hedgerows create vital refuges for declining farmland species. buff.ly/4hTbmBC #ShareGoodNewsToo
