Science from Singularity’s Children: Smart Cetaceans

In my Singularity’s Children series, animals are smart, but get a raw deal because they are hampered by a lack of hands and tongues, a deficiency overcome by the BugNet, AKA: IOA, The Internet of Animals.

The more science tells us about how smart —and devious— animals really are, the more convinced I become that we have already discovered “Alien Intelligence”.

Humpback Whale Communication and the Search for Alien Intelligence, watch the video here:

“The study of animal communication challenges our ideas of intelligence and informs our search for life in the universe. Among the most fascinating of vocalizations are the songs and sounds of humpback whales.”

Distraction Free Writing?



I’ve decided that to make some rapid progress on Singularity’s Children Book Four, I need to get my head down for a solid burst of uninterrupted creativity.

Trusted friends have advised me that the quaint, sleepy, Dutch town of Amsterdam would be a perfect off-grid location for some distraction-free writing…
…so I will be heading over there in December.

If any of you happen to be about—flying through, on a city break or just looking for an excuse to visit—and fancy meeting up for a drink on Friday 14th December, let me know!

Reply below or mail me directly.
If you can’t make it, any suggestions for places to meet up are very welcome, and might make it into Book Four…

It would be great to get to know you and chat SciFi over a beverage or two. The first drink is on me!
