Wow! I finished PRECIOUS CHILDREN by Mary G. Thompson and it was so, so good. Simply put: this book has everything I like about science fiction and reading… 1/7
Awesome blurb from Sadie Hartmann on Precious Children, coming Sept 1 from @tachyonpub.bsky.social! "Mary G. Thompson activates our empathy and our anxiety through a perfectly executed cautionary tale: the dangers of allowing science and technology to exploit our deepest fears."
