We can spend our lives debating the justifications (I more or less have); but we are wasting our time. What we need is a massive clampdown on the influence of money over politics, including lobbying transparency, campaign finance reform, an end to the revolving door between politics and lobbying.

Great news for a client! I can (and indeed do, as you’ll see from the press release) heartily recommend this novel. As Cheryl notes, I did my book doctoring job on this, but it was basically a light edit on a book already at an eminently publishable standard.

This year has been brutal, and like most people you probably want to do more about climate change. But what, and how? Great news – I’ve written just the book for you! It’s called What One Person Can Do and it’s a clear and simple how-to guide, a roadmap to help you make influential changes...

It is very important that one engages with one's opponent in the marketplace of ideas. When someone is arguing with bad faith to incite stochastic terrorism against you or others, remember to remain polite, logical and cite sources to substantiate your argument.

Genocide continues as the systemic rather than systematic; becoming a second or third-order effect gives it psychological distance — laundering it as not noteworthy or the fault of some Other.

Someone hated their free copy of Principals so much they went out of their way to one-star it on both GoodReads and Amazon. What could inspire such vindictiveness? I don't know, read it to judge for yourself!

The cover of Principals shows the title and two Asian women wearing bandanas over their mouths, overlaid on a foggy, dystopian city skyline.

spirals? is now out - I woke up to find five star reviews for it on both Amazon and Goodreads, and even a new five star review for null. What a lovely start to the day. (Here's the link for spirals? www.amazon.com/dp/B0H7L2RTLJ)

The cover of spirals?, some gold spirals on a black background with the subheading "Collected short writings of Dienw Neb". The title "spirals" is stylised with a question mark, as though the word itself is question.
