The August issue of Clarkesworld is now online and features stories by Ravn J. Silver, Eilis O’Neal, Jordan Alexander, D.A. Xiaolin Spires, E.N. Auslender, Y.M. Pang, and H.H. Pak. clarkesworldmagazine.com/issue_239 Subscribe today at: clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/

The August issue of Clarkesworld features cover art by Thomas Brissot. A young woman flanked by two robots with large swords aimed straight down appear to be conversing with a tall water bird on the edge of a leafy area. The title is "A Visit To The Oracle" and the bird's beak is open as if speaking. The background fades shows a palace of sorts behind the bird but only whiteness behind the other figures.

5) Chip by D. A. Xiaolin Spires: passenger takes sentient low-cost cab and gets taken for a long ride with many detours and advertisements to subsidize fare. Passenger talks cab into a form of emancipation. Good dialogue and extrapolation of current trends

Achingly good, intoxicating and mind-bending science fiction by Dafydd McKimm—and free to read. Chirality turned on its head, the longing for truth and unknowing, fruitful considerations of identity and star-crossed passion. Highly recommended! www.myheartandotherplanets.online

Splendid praise from Dafydd McKimm for my SF novella ELLIPSES "A somersaulting hard-SF novella with 𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩, 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐞, made all the more joyful by Spires's uniquely acrobatic prose.”—Dafydd McKimm, author of MY HEART AND OTHER PLANETS & "The Colossus Stops"
