Here’s the second part of a two-part podcast of my story Visit the Sins, which was originally published in Asimov’s in 1999 and reprinted in Hartwell’s Year’s Best SF volume 5. This story deals with attention deficit disorder, the effect that cognitive problems have on families, and how your mental state and your technology are intimately related.

The Hugo Award ballot is online and due in by July 31. If you are attending this year’s World Science Fiction convention in Los Angeles or if you bought a “supporting membership,” you’re eligible to vote in this, the most prestigious of science fiction’s popular awards. Regrettably, only a small fraction of eligible voters cast votes for the Hugos — it’s a real pity.
This year, there’s tons of help for prospective Hugo voters. Of course, my Hugo-nominated novellette I, Robot is online. There’s also free electronic editions of most of the nominated novels, podcasts of most of the nominated short stories, and an excellent guide to online reviews of all the nominated works.
Here’s the last of three installments of the podcast of my story The Super-Man and the Bugout, a superhero story that asks what would have happened if Kal-el had landed in suburban Toronto and been raised by an old Jewish couple. It’s the conclusion of the triad of stories comprised by Shadow of the Mothaship and Home Again, Home Again, about the Canadian response to the invasion of benevolent Scientologist aliens.

Artist Jeremy Shuback has produced a pair of fine fan-illustrations for my story Anda’s Game, which concerns a young girl’s adventures as a mercenary in a multiplayer game where gold-farmers use sweat-shops of other young girls to earn their living.
The first illo is We’re going to change that, chickens, you lot and me, from Liza the Organiza’s inspirational speech to the girls at Ada Lovelace Comprehensive School. The second is It was a noob avatar, just like the others, but not just like it after all, for it moved with purpose, backing away from her sword. And it spoke English — the scene where Anda finds herself beheading gold-farmers. (Thanks, Jeremy!)
Here’s part three of the podcast of my story Home Again, Home Again, a sequel (of sorts) to Shadow of the Mothaship — also published in my collection A Place So Foreign and Eight More. This one is the autobiography of a child raised in an alien-imposed mental institution, and the mentorship he received from The Guy Who Thought He Was Nikola Tesla.
