Just came across this and now I can’t stop thinking - if you could upload your mind to a digital utopia, would it still be you? Now I’m keen to read @gracechanwrites.bsky.social's "Every Version of You"... #BookSky #Reading #EveryVersionOfYou #TechEthics #SciFi #VirtualReality

If you could upload your mind to a virtual utopia, would you?

Grace Chan, author of Every Version of You, the November read for the New Scientist Book Club, explores the philosophical implications of the choices her characters make

This is wonderful news! @gracechanwrites.bsky.social is one of the brightest new voices in Australian SF. Her short fiction is terrific and her debut novel, Every Version of You, is a clever and moving look at the allures & pitfalls of virtual life. Can’t wait to read her next book!

✅ Generational trauma ✅ Wedding drama ✅ Body issues ✅ Philippine mythological creatures ✅ Shadow mommy villain ✅ Queer rep (bi, lesbian, pan, NB) ✅ Might make someone create a WorldCon panel about strong female characters w/ an anti-lesbian bent MIRROR MARKED is now available for pre-order!

A story about the weight of generational trauma . . .
. . . and the cycle of harm it creates inside a family, every word of Vida Cruz-Borja’s novella MIRROR MARKED is saturated with mystery, magic, and drama.

It’s the wedding of the decade. The Petronios—a family as wealthy and influential as they are mysterious—gather at their ancestral villa for a grand wedding. But beneath the glittering surface is a venue steeped in centuries of tragic romance, strange secrets, and dangerous enchantments shaped by the family’s long heritage.

Enter Kelly, a wedding planner. Able to see magic and no stranger to public façades and the dark truths they conceal, she’s the perfect choice for the job—or so it seems.

As the wedding day approaches, Kelly finds herself entangled in more than seating charts and floral arrangements. The villa awakens haunting memories of her past, forcing her to confront long-buried truths about herself and the Petronio family as she finds herself falling hopelessly in love with their eldest daughter, the beautiful and powerful Marga.

Thank you @trackofwords.bsky.social for the fun, twisty, thoughtful questions! I enjoyed chatting about worldbuilding dystopias vs utopias, the body horror of technology, and what imaginary setting I would create if I had the power of virtual reality at my fingertips...!

It’s out and I’m so proud of this! Cleide Lanzetta & I translated #everyversionofyou by @gracechanwrites.bsky.social into Italian for Edizioni SuiGeneris. This novel is a captivating dystopian SCI-FI that will draw you into a moral conundrum, but will also make you imagine & dream new possibilities!
