Last night’s book tour event in Toronto was a smashing success! Thanks to everyone who came! I just checked in for my flight to Chicago for a weekend’s worth of appearances at C2E2, and then on Monday I’ll be at Berkeley Arts & Letters at 7:30PM with Richard Kadrey, then The Revolutionary Reads series at Ft Vancouver (outside of Portland, OR), and then the Seattle Public Library and finally a weekend of events at Wondercon in Anaheim. Come on out! (Image: @codepoet127)

We had a hell of an event last night at The Strand in NYC, and I’m about to head to the airport for my flight to Toronto for tonight’s event at the Metro Reference Library, hosted by the Globe & Mail’s Barry Hertz.
Tomorrow it’s Chicago’s C2E2 festival and then to Berkeley for an event with the writer and photographer Richard Kadrey, and then the Revolutionary Reads program at Fort Vancouver’s Clark College (just outside of Portland, OR); and then the tour takes me to Seattle and Anaheim! I hope you’ll come out and say hi! (Image: Vlado Vince)
Thanks to everyone who came to last night’s launch event at San Diego’s Mysterious Galaxy! The next stop on my tour is an event at 7PM at The Strand in NYC where I’ll be appearing with the award-winning investigative journalist Julia Angwin, who is pinch-hitting for Anand Giridharadas, who has had a family emergency.

Thanks to the folks who came to last night’s LA launch for Radicalized, my latest book of science fiction for adults; I’m about to hop a train to San Diego for an event tonight at Mysterious Galaxy at 7:30 PM. From there, the tour takes me to NYC on Wednesday (The Strand, 7PM); then Toronto on Thursday (Metro Reference Library, 7PM, with Barry Hertz), and then to Chicago for events at C2E2. From there, I head to San Francisco, Fort Vancouver, WA (Portland, essentially!), Seattle and Anaheim. Looking forward to seeing you!
Tonight is the launch for my latest book of science fiction for adults, Radicalized: I’ll be at the Barnes and Novel at The Grove in Los Angeles, in conversation with director/activist/stuntwoman/champion kickboxer Lexi Alexander, starting at 7PM.

Well, this is awesome: Andrew Liptak picked my next book, Radicalized as one of The Verge’s picks for March! The tour starts Monday!
Radicalized is my next science fiction book, out on March 18 from Tor Books: it contains four novellas about the hope and misery of our moment, from refugees resisting life in an automated IoT hell to health care executives being targeted by suicide bombers who have been traumatized by watching their loved ones die after being denied care. Tor Books is sending me on tour with the book in the US and Canada and I hope you can make it to one of my stops!

I’m heading back to Austin for the SXSW Interactive festival and you can catch me three times this weekend: first on the Untold AI panel with Malka Older, Rashida Richardson and Christopher Noessel (5-6PM, Fairmont Manchester AB); then at the EFF Austin Party with Cindy Cohn and Bruce Sterling (7PM, 1309 Bonham Terrace); and on Sunday, I’m giving a keynote for Berlin’s Re:Publica conference, which has its own track at SXSW; I’m speaking about Europe’s new Copyright Directive and its dread Article 13 at 1PM at Buffalo Billiards, 201 East 6th Street.
My next book of science fiction for adults is Radicalized, which will be published on March 19 (I’ll be making tour appearances across the US, Canada and Germany starting on March 18); the early critical notices have started to come in and gosh, they are embarrassingly effusive!
