Wole Talabi | Preorder THE FIST OF MEMORY @wtalabi.com · 03/10/2026

Incredible to see THE FIST OF MEMORY featured as one of October's best sci-fi and fantasy books from LitHub! lithub.com/time-travel-...

Wole Talabi, The Fist of Memory
(DAW, October 27)
In this first contact technothriller, a mysterious spaceship carrying an alien hive mind called the Irunmole appears above Nigeria. As the extraterrestrials prepare their arrival, down on the surface several strangers find their fates linked. Itumeleng is a South African astronomer who has put aside his family’s faith and traditions, yet it’s those visions that aid him in identifying the Irunmole in the first place. Meanwhile, conflicted assassin Tope takes another typical job from witchdoctor Baba, only for everything to go sideways and send her on the run—right in the path of Itumeleng, who also recognizes her from his visions. Add in another assassin, obsessed with the singular memory of the title, and you have a thrilling new take on first contact.

Xiyadie's papercut art was the highlight for me but of course I'm the target audience 🙂‍↕️✌️🌈

Colorful papercut art mounted on a black background depicting two cats watching two men intertwined in the shape of fish on a kitchen counter beside a cleaver.

Its gallery label reads:
Xiyadie 1963
Born and works China

Fish on a Chopping Board c.2001
Dye and pigment on paper

This work depicts a crowded kitchen filled with cooking utensils and ingredients. At the centre of the composition – and to the fascination of two predatory cats on a shelf are two men entangled with each other in the shape of a fish on a chopping board. For the artist, this is a way to express the vulnerability one experiences as a 'tongzhi' (同志). This translates from Chinese as 'comrade' and since the 1990s has been used in the Chinese-speaking world to express gay identity and solidarity.

#TBT to when I went to the Tate Modern in the pouring rain and saw a bunch of incredible gay Chinese papercut art by Xiyadie and also Marcel Duchamp's urinal.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:

Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads:

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

This isn't just a think piece saying they disagree with PEN America; they actually went back and examined at the data and reporting — including a key claim that a literary agent was selling far fewer books by Jewish and Israeli authors in the US — and found it lacking. Fascinating work.

Your 3rd dose today of Anthropic settlement madness (at least from me). Authors, CHECK YOUR CLAIMS! Your situation may have changed, per this email from the settlement administrator that some authors are receiving (subject heading: Anthropic Copyright Settlement: Allocation Updates)

We made updates that may affect your claim.
What Changed?
Wed, Sep 30,
2026 at 5:35 AM
Based on feedback from claimants, we updated how certain works are categorized.
In particular, where multiple claimants submitted default claims for the same
ownership interest in a work, we changed those works from agreement to
disagreement.
In addition, the portal is updated to reflect that some claimants changed their sole
ownership claims to default claims, and some claimants withdrew their claims.
What This Means for You
As a result of these updates, some works on your claim may now be categorized
differently. We encourage you to review the current allocations for your works.
How to Review and Update Your Allocations
Please use your claim number and PIN above to log into the portal below.
Claim Summary and Allocation Portal
For help making updates, please visit the allocation portal instructions.
If You Already Submitted Updates
If you already updated the allocation for a work, then you do not need to
submit those updates again. Any changes you submitted previously
through the online portal are recorded, but the portal is not being
updated in real time. If you submit multiple updates for the same
copyright number, your most recent submission will replace any earlier
submissions

What’s Next?
We will continue to work with claimants to help resolve disputes.
For works where all rightsholders are in agreement and where all necessary
payment information is provided, we expect to send a first round of payments in
November 2026.
If You Have Questions
Please contact us at 1-877-206-2314 or info@AnthropicCopyrightSettlement.com.
