This year’s Campbell Award anthology, now known as Event Horizon, is downloadable (for now) from this link. It includes nearly 400,000 words from 75 authors who’ve had their first professional sale in the past two years, including me. (My flash piece “Forget You” makes up almost 0.1% of the book.)

Airbus has revealed a concept for a self-flying car capable of operating both on the ground and in the air, and plans to test it later this year. The cool concept is to separate the three main functions. The road-wheel-motor system, the flight system and the passenger module.
