I'm already sold on this sci-fi adventure flickMalcolm McMillan (Tom's Guide)
It begins as a series of tech-bro travelogues. I’m an old sci-fi author, travel in first class to tour the skunkworks of my billionaire fanboys. They walk me through their server farms, convinced my novels are non-fiction blueprints. I smile, sit in their healing pods, upload coffins, point out the glaring sanity-check failures in their plans for DIY-apotheosis via wetware upload, and cash the cheque. They are, to an old man, dangerously out of their minds techno-fascists. The last essay ends mid-sentence. I die.
Five years after my obituaries get filed, a new manuscript is found in my computer. The first chapter’s title explains everything: "My First Day in Afterlife®." The second: "Mark Zuckerberg's username is Hades"
New #intro!
I’m a hyperjack musician, writer & video artist. My latest album, ‘Status’, is mainly about escaping Big Tech dystopia.
My website meljoann.com includes nerdy blog posts on Faircamp, Owncast & leaving mainstream social media.

An #introduction post, given recent influx, with hashtags to aid searchability.
I am O. Westin, a #writer of #MicroFiction, mostly #ScienceFiction and #fantasy #fiction, and occasional #poetry. My stories are generally less than 280 characters, because I also post to Twitter.
No set schedule, stories are written and posted when inspiration strikes.
I am LGBTQIA+ positive, and usually favour wholesome over darkness and edgy nihilism.

My #introduction Toot!
I’m an #author who writes adult #romance and YA (young adult) #sciencefiction and #fantasy!
I’m also a big #movie buff and try to see 100 films a year. I often tap out at 80!
I have a #goldenretreiver and two tattoos! I’m obsessed with Greek #mythology! Hit me up for anything writing, movie, or social media related - the later is my job!
If you want to buy my books, visit.
My work is related to human rights and sometimes is a bit overwhelming so I want to disconnect for a while of everything and I think this instance will fit great for that😸
My hobbies are programing although I use it for data science and such, #painting (oil & watercolor and I want to try with #DigitalArt), reading #HistoricalFiction, I want to try some day writing #ScienceFiction oh and I like to learn new languages and practice #calligraphy.
I think that's all for now ☺️
I am a story reviewer for Imagine 2200, a #climatefiction & #solarpunk contest seeking #sciencefiction stories that show a path to a clean, green, and just future. (Or just show what it's like to live in that future!)
