Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 2hYeah you need it. I do too, really. It’s the Davy Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean vibe that does it for me. Heh heh heh … Welcome to the Jedi Order, lad! 010
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 3hPas super difficile à croire mais je n’aime vraiment pas la tendance qui se dessine où on accuse n’importe quelle personne contre laquelle on a une crotte d’utiliser l’IA. Il y aura toujours un outil bidon pour corroborer. C’est un cancer comme techno et il n’y a pas de remède facile. 010
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 3hOk then. I will try when I run into it. My son drinks things with slimy chunks in it. It can’t be worse. 020
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 4hThe pictures are sort of funny. Like, did you see the tiny thing in its hand? DID YOU? 010
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 4hI really don’t trust the Good Smile Company ads on FB but I like this thing… 350
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 4hI don’t do heights (I lose control and curl into a ball) but I had to install stuff on the roof. It’s reeeerally slow when you’re crawling chest to the ground. There is, however, a small area in the MIDDLE of the roof where I can’t see anything . There, I’m basically a superhero. 060
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 01/10/2026I prefer my giant hands in a different material but still… I’d have stopped. 020
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 01/10/2026Oh I like him. Predator crossed with Jim Carrey's The Mask. "WHAAAAAARGHHHHHHH'lrighty then!" (Wrong movie, but WAAARGHSssssmokin'! doesn't wound as good...) 110
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 01/10/2026Also, Luna has the same "Why are we doing this? Do we have to?" look as last time :) 110
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 01/10/2026Damn, that was fast! Glad it made it. I shipped on Tuesday. 010
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 30/09/2026Went something like this: Me: Mini-Batman was sleeping under the living room table, when suddenly...! Son: There's a knock on the door! - Yes! - It's Black Widow! - No - Princess Leia? - No - WHO???? - Another Mini-Batman! - Whoa. (Then they go to the park and there's scary wind and stuff...) 010
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 30/09/2026The 2 1/2" Batman (aka Mini-Batman) was the hero of every bedtime story when my son was maybe 2-8... 211
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 29/09/2026Oh that's a tough year. The Matrix... Iron Giant. Run Lola Run. ( Being John Malkovich was a trip) 150
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 29/09/2026I'm a bit late, but Wonder Man was good! It's funny how superhero shows are much better without the superhero stuff. (The better half of Loki, The better half of Wanda, Lanterns, etc...) 030

Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 27/09/2026All these AI email scams are copying other people's stuff and mishmashing it to fit your book. My question is who's stuff? Seriously. WHO WRITES LIKE THAT? It's soooo cringy. There is at least one person out there going "Whoa. This looks like I wrote it" and I someone needs to talk to them. 040
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 26/09/2026This is a good chunk of the Veil Nebula (C33), also the place where kaijus break into our universe. 0123
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 26/09/2026Math definition of smol: it’s 2,570 light-years away and has a diameter of one light year. 010

Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 25/09/2026Well, no. But I love this pic so much I'm sending you a book :) DM address and whether "To Lynne" is OK :) 210

Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 25/09/2026We have our first winner. There is ANOTHER book available but we need a cat WEARING some sort of hat and a real overripe banana. 120
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 25/09/2026So I’m calling it mid-beer. You get a book. DM an address and whether “To Larisa" is OK. There is ANOTHER book available but we need a cat WEARING some sort of hat and a real overripe banana. 120
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 25/09/2026Jyn has a primordial pouch big enough to carry hockey gear… 110
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 25/09/2026Nice. Madame prez is now 14 ans we just built her a wooden step to get on the couch after she failed the 11 inch climb :) 110
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 25/09/2026Three! I have two, Jyn Erso and President Laura Roslin (aka Rosie). They are both old and fat now but that is what they looked like as youngens. 110
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 25/09/2026Oh that is good. But I was hoping to get a cat _wearing_ some sort of head attire… Short of a new pic with cat with hat, I will make this the default winner if nothing else comes in while I’m having the next beer. What’s the cat’s name? 100
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 25/09/2026I am tempted to say yes, if you add a spoon to the pic. In the spirit of fairness, should this happen, I will mail a second book to the first real overripe banana with cat in a makeshift hat. 100
Sylvain Neuvel @neuvel.net · 25/09/2026I am bored… I will mail a signed copy of my latest book, The Many, to the first person (anywhere I’m allowed to mail stuff) to reply with a fresh pic (with proof of the time it was taken) of a cat with a makeshift hat next to an overripe banana. I say again, you have to take the picture now. 3102
