The Machine

It used to be that an author could rise to a position of some cultural influence. I'm not just talking about inspiring future generations through their books. Think of J.K. Rowling and Stephen King for examples of celebrity authors whose public statements carry a lot of water in certain quarters.…

The debate typically centers around matters of ethnicity or religion, but an often overlooked yet just as important factor in setting a person's self-concept is generational identification.

Fools’ Gold

Fools’ Gold

A Twitter user chronicles his blocking by author Marko Kloos over a disagreement about the current and former state of science fiction. Not only was the Golden Age better written, it was not the age Kloos is thinking of. Kloos has fallen for the post-1980 memory holing of the Pulp…

A piece of common book industry wisdom frequently cited by self-publishing proponents such as myself has it that there's an anonymous cadre of indie authors quietly making millions on Amazon.

Resistance Is Nonexistent

Resistance Is Nonexistent

As the explosive scandal sparked by Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein rocks the film industry, normal Americans are bearing witness to the morbid spectacle of the Left accomplishing what conservatives have claimed to be pursuing for decades: destroying the Left.
