"Experts" pick the sci-fi books you gotta read by year's end

Novels in a Polish bookstore
Because Patrick Hester uses wisdom as his dump stat, I was invited back on the Hugo-winning SF Signal podcast to discuss both what sci-fi I'm reading, prose-wise, and what I will pull out all the stops to read by year's end. Fortunately, Jeff PattersonFred Kiesche and Paul Weimer are along for the ride to inject some actual informed genre bibliophilia into my relentless name-checking of Scott Lynch, Brian Wood and Cherie Priest.

If you're building a Christmas list for the sci-fi-o-phile in your life, or just like hearing geek-banter normally reserved for side-chats at the D&D game table, you could spend worse hours than to hear the SF Signal Recommendations for 2013's Remaining Sci-Fi Must-Reads. My segments are imminently mutable.

As always, my tally of past SF Signal podcast audio-crimes is available here.

The (nearly) unimaginable future of the American tax code


Day 093/365 - Tax Time Phat Cash!
Let me begin this essay by stating I am in no measure an economist and have no real credentials for advocating the economic viability of what I'm about to propose. I come at this as someone trained in both narrative and sociology, which is to say this is how I expect the political story of American federal taxation to eventually end.

And it will end, at some point in my lifetime, with the demise of the income tax and the rise of the federally guaranteed basic income. Put another way, the federal government will stop taxing your personal income and will instead underwrite it, for everyone.

The TechTalk episode where I reveal the OG version of Einstein's famous equation

Albert Einstein equation
Against all good sense, I'm allowed back on TechTalk radio to reveal how Einstein originally composed his mass-energy equivalence equation in 1905, because it didn't look anything like E=mc2.

The rest of the show is dedicated to snarky but cogent discussion of deception and identity on Facebook, which is a much better use of your time. Before I leave, I toss a "Google vs. Sci-Fi" grenade over my shoulder. Give a listen; just fast-forward when you hear my voice.

As always, my complete litany of podcast transgressions is available here.
