A small book, made using Atlantic bay scallop shells. The book features tiny drawings of estuary plants and animals from Nova Scotia. - #SciArtSeptember Day 16: Scallop

An open book made of paper pages and a scallop shell cover. The book is open to a simple ink drawing of a duck. The book's pages and cover are pink. The book rests on a wooden table.

A hand holding a pink and purple scallop shell. The shell is bound along one side with green thread, making it the cover to a small book. The background is a wooden table top.

Little acts with big impact? I am thinking of Lincoln (apocryphally) telling Harriet Beecher Stowe "so you're the little woman who wrote the book that made this great war!"

Street art in her honor from SE Seattle

A glittery tinsel-fringed illustrated portrait of Dolly Parton on a telephone pole. There's a cartoon voice bubble with a quote from her that says "find out who you are and do it on purpose."

Oh haha thank you! Appreciate you reading. The horror of perspective...

Christina Ladd @christinaladd.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Hm, and now that I think about it you might include The Employees by Olga Ravn. That was certainly experimental, and involved humans and AI encountering alien...objects? Entities?

Christina Ladd @christinaladd.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Therein lies the problem--you would want a multiple POV cast or a very generous audience to make it workable in a book. I have not read it, but there is this book set in a beehive: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bee...

Christina Ladd @christinaladd.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I totally get that re: murderbot but I feel like around the edges, there is a sense that the perspective we get is edited for us--that ART and other non-humanoids are essentially indulging human intelligence with a small percentage of their processing power, and then using the rest to be themselves

Christina Ladd @christinaladd.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

I hate to be That Guy but honestly things in the Lovecraft vein do dovetail with this--intelligences so alien that communication is mind-breaking. Also I don't think it totally fits the bill, but I'm consistently struck by how Muderbot AIs never want to "become human" and are v different from them

because of the quarterly nature of publishing it's that time of year where I turn into a "No" machine and turn down jobs because my inbox turns into a broken fire hydrant. Not complaining, it's a nice problem, but all my usual referrals are busy. You draw book covers? You available? sound off below
