🏮 Tonight we hosted the Demo Night Market! 🏮 Many makers demoed their decentralised tech stack tools. Every project displayed was not about potential, remote, and abstract futures, but rather about the distributed tech we need HERE and NOW.

I wrote a fun little Ana and Din short story, where - during a very long and uncomfortable carriage ride - Ana describes a 200 year old mystery she proclaims to have solved. It's written entirely in her voice, and I had a lot of fun with it. www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3TTX6Q...

Magic & Mystery

Whether set in realities far-flung or familiar, these mysteries leave an irresistible trail of clues. Curated by John Joseph Adams, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling anthologist.
