When I first started work on The Starry Rift it was my hope that people would be encouraged to look at a wider range of science fiction than they had before, consider different and new books to look at.  Over the next while I’ll be talking about various possible books to look at after you’ve read The Starry Rift, both by authors who are in the book and some who are not.

The first book I want to mention is Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother. It’s the best science fiction novel intended for readers of pretty much all ages in the last ten years.  It’s smart, feisty and brimming with good stuff. I hope to arrange a way to give away a couple copies, but in the meantime Cory reports:

On April 31, Toronto Public Library be launching my next novel,Little
Brother, at an event at the Merril Collection, the astounding public
science fiction reference library. Books will be on sale through
