December 14, 2015. This week I recorded a reading of “Kraken and Sage,” a brand new, never-before-published story by me and Bruce Sterling. The podcast is about forty-five minutes long. It could be our best joint story ever. It’s about … well, it’s about Bruce and me, but it’s also about runaway biotech and our world’s ultimate fate. With some laughs and tears along the way.
