Want to know more about my recent science fiction novella Singularity: Fields of Weirdness?

Have you read it and have questions about the many topics I touch in it?

Do you want to know how much of it is based on a true story?

Do you have no idea what on Earth I was even talking about in the book?

Do you want to know what I think will happen to the world in the next twelve months?

To answer these questions and more, I launched The Fields of Weirdness Podcast. Each episode is 20 minutes long, once a week, because my wife and production manager Sally told me so, and They approved her decision. (I discuss who They are in the episodes.)

Here are the episodes. Feel free to contact me if you have questions or would like to suggest episode topics.

“Cliff’s Notes” podcast version of the book, and movie one-pager

I have also started a “Cliff’s Notes” podcast version of the book. Spoiler alert: You will definitely spoil the book if you listen to it.

It includes a one-pager for a movie version, which hides nothing. Spoiler alert: You will definitely spoil the book if you read it.
