What Life Can Bring
21 July 2026What Life Can Bring brings together three science fiction stories that are loosely connected by ideas around time. They each take that theme in a different direction, making for a collection that feels varied while still sharing a common thread.
The first story, following Poly after his release from prison, ended up being my favourite. It's the most grounded of the three and the one I connected with most emotionally. Simple time travel with a touch of romance and old-style small-town life. From there, the collection shifts into more traditional science fiction, with a breakthrough scientific discovery drawing dangerous attention before finishing with a post-apocalyptic style tale of survival following what appears to be an alien attack. Each story has its […]
Waterhole Economies
16 July 2026
If hunter-gatherer societies sustained themselves for the overwhelming majority of human existence, is there something modern civilisation has forgotten? That's Samuel Layne's central question, and whether you end up agreeing with his conclusions or not, it's a genuinely interesting one to dig into.

Just one impossible certainty, and the question of what humanity does with it.
As thought […]

Review Time Machine
George Orwell’s 1984
13 May 2024This isn't going to be dreadfully long review as I suspect most people have either read the original or have at least a passing understanding of 1984 by George Orwell by this stage. The most current incarnation of the classic 1984 is Audible's immersive experience.
While keeping the spirit of the novel but not a word-for-word recitation, this is still a novel that can bring chills to the spine. I'm a little on the fence with whether or not I am a fan of this version.
On one hand, great story. On the other... some of the sound effects were cheesy and, if I'm being honest, I could have lived without the torture sequence being quite so visceral. It painted a […]
