Finale! Glaze 釉 by globally acclaimed author, columnist, script writer 陈秋帆 Stanley Qiufan Chen. A concept artist expresses pain with her biotech body, but real pain and generational trauma takes much more than Glaze to erase. It was a pleasure translating this key voice of Chinese Cyberpunk. 11/11

Xueting's #Popculture Digest looks at #Y3K fashion and aesthetics. That's right, it's a new iteration of Y2K, but rather than the colourful retro-futurism of its millennial predecessor, Y3K emerged online around 2024, and casts a colder, bolder look into the more distant future of 3000. 1/

The Concrete Farm 水泥农场 by award-winning Y.A. #scifi writer 陆航 Lu Hang. Two students make some money live-streaming plants in a rundown building, but it’s no ordinary fungus they accidentally let out of the lab. It’s a joy to translate a story set in my hometown by this excellent young voice. 9/

Packed salon on Thursday, fascinating to hear Cai Jun's literary worldview, great questions from the audience, so good to finally meet Mr Cai after working with him on Sinophagia. He's great with plot, pacing and has deep humanist concerns, I do hope to bring you his crime and mystery novels #books

Bought these essays by Asian female writers while curating Sinophagia, just had a chance to finish it. What a compendium that struck so many chords. How cultural-specific horror constructs can explore our senses of unresolved loss, grief, rage and sometimes, new agency, as Asian women . #books
