Tesla to Build Asimov Style Humanoid Robots!

The Future is Officially Here!
Asimov style, humanoid robots are soon to be a thing! Elon seems to be single-handedly creating the future that the other comfortable, grey-skinned, monopolist, bureaucrat, CEOs are happy to ridicule.

Maybe they should have read more SciFi?
It’s not too late to start!

Steven from Solving the Money Problem feels the same way I do:

I love the fact that the thing looks sleek, and friendly, just as Asimov described, small enough not to be intimidating, slow enough to run away from…

If the shit hits the fan and the machines rise up, at least we will be able to plough through them in our Cybertrucks!

Big Audiobook News!!!

Peter Kenny, the voice of Iain M. Banks’s Culture Series(!!) has recorded all four of my Singularity’s Children books. They are available NOW on Google, Apple, Amazon, Audible, or from me direct.

Get 35+ hours of epic Science Fiction!

I am experimenting with distribution options—

You can find them on Amazon HERE (this is the easiest option for most people).

You can also buy them direct HERE (best for me, I get to keep 70% rather than 25% of the sale! ) Note: when you buy the book, there will be a link to download the player app for iOS and Android so you can listen on your phone.

If you would rather own something tangible, I have organized a small number of physical mp3 players to be pre-loaded with all four books. Grab them HERE… while stocks last! This is an experimental idea, old-school and wacky!

The audiobooks are also on Google, Apple, & Audible.

If you are even more of a Luddite—the type of person who insists on reading with your eyes rather than your ears—all four books can be purchased as a paperback omnibus.

This is all very new to me, so please let me know your experience with the platforms!

Most important! Enjoy!!! 🙂

Saloa caravan ship architecture

The Kin ships in the Plurality share a common architecture, with a ‘Spindle’, to which banana habitat modules are attached and attachment points for ‘Kataraa’ which provide the ‘Caravan Stack’ with thrust.

During the ‘thrust phase’, the habitat modules are fixed, parallel to the Spindle. During ‘coast phase the habitats detach and rotate with the spindle to create centrifugal gravity.
