Cloth has, historically, been a huge driver of innovation and economics.

In this post, sf novelist Charles Stross speculates on the future of 3d printed fabrics.
(If you think you saw this before from me you probably did; am reposting this to get it into my 3D Printing collection, along with the rest of the spate of 3d reposts you’ll see from me shortly.)

“I have built a working miniature replica of the patriarchy in my mind. I would like very much to bust it up or burn it down. But I am afraid I don’t know how. Though I do have some ideas.”

Pervasive interaction with computers that know your context. With inspiration from Star Trek.
Via Yonatan Zunger, who’s involved (though not named in the article).
I selfishly want this to exist. Do you?

Alliteration Ink Presents: The Kickstarter for recompose, a new journal of literary speculative fiction (and a free first issue)
You’re a person who loves speculative fiction. Give you a blaster, a sword, a creature from the Outer Black any day. You’re also a person who loves literature. Works that take language seriously, that treat writing as art. What kind of magazine is this goin…
Amazon is actively seeking submissions for movie and series scripts (drama, comedy, children’s).
Steampunk that is actually well-written, with young female characters who are capable and competent. If that appeals to you, run, do not walk, and get this book.

Minimum self promotion … my steampunk action-adventure book Harry Takes Off featuring Harriet and Khuwelsa Edgbaston is free until Wednesday (and the second book is on 99c).
It’s set in East Africa, 1896. At this time Britain and Germany were the big colonial powers in Africa, while Harriet (Harry) is white, her adopted sister Khuwelsa (Sellie) is African.
This may be steampunk action-adventure but I don’t minimise the bad behaviour of either empire, or the racism. The books are “accurate” as far as the historical setting is concerned (only in quotes because my timeline does diverge from reality because it’s steampunk – but people’s attitudes don’t).
The reason “Harry” gets her name in the title (and will do up until book 5) is that the stories are partly inspired by the “Biggles” books by Capt W. E. Johns. And Biggles gets his name into almost all 100 titles in that series.
Finally, in case you think Sellie being the engineer is putting her at the back of the story (so to speak), here’s what one reviewer said “I especially liked the way Khuwelsa as the engineer for their ornithopter is essential to their eventual triumph—not because she is black or female, but because of her demonstrated engineering skill!”
Harry and Sellie are equal partners.
Anyway if you’re interested in taking a look http://bit.ly/pegasus-01-gp
Robotics and AI continue to progress.

I read Jenni Wiltz’s book, and it was hilarious. The flatulent boxer alone is worth the price of admission.
Also, the asskicking ex-librarian confronting the mob guy with a knife. And sending him away terrified.
Action, humour, romance. And beautifully well edited, to boot.
