AI’s Eating All the Power—Now What?
It turns out, AI is hungry. And not just for data... Lately, I’ve been reading about artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and those data centers we never think about until one shows up in our cornfield.

The Science of Cryosleep: How Close Are We to Deep Space Naptime?
But here’s the real question: how close are we to making this sci-fi staple a reality? Let’s be honest—space is huge. Like, “you’ve-gotten-through-three-packs-of-Tang-and-you’re-still-not-at-Mars” huge.

But once we’ve settled in, once we’ve… Read More

Unexpected Inspiration from Beneath the Pyramids
Scans Reveal Massive Unknown Structures Beneath the Egyptian Pyramids. As a science fiction author, I spend most of my time bouncing between writing new projects, revising older ones, and occasionally yelling at my computer when a character refuses to behave (they’re fictional, but somehow still disobedient).

How to Keep Science Fiction Fresh: Avoiding the Same Old Tropes
Ah, science fiction—the genre of infinite possibilities! The playground of bold new ideas, mind-bending concepts, and… Wait, is that another dystopian future where society is divided into arbitrary factions? Are we really doing the “evil mega-corporation” thing again? Don’t get me wrong. Tropes exist for a reason. They resonate, they work, and when they first… Read More
