And for readers who like science fiction, horror & fantasy literature in general.

Here's a recent Amazon review from Sir Readsalot about my new book!
“Nonfiction books of this variety are few and far between. High concept and academic, yet accessible. Specific, yet covering all required bases and sticking a solid landing.
This book expanded my thinking on the subjects of aliens, robots, and VR – all quite common sf topics and, if I’m being honest, got me excited again to think of these things as much more than tropes, but as deliberate conversation pieces within our fiction.”
I hope you will agree after you read the book! So please pick up a copy!

Recently,
I was a guest on Midnight in the Desert,
which is broadcast on the Dark Matter Network. The interview ran from 12 PM- 3
AM Eastern Standard Time & was my
longest interview to date. It was also one of my best. My host Tim Ozman & I covered a broad & delightful range of topics:
*H. P. Lovecraft & prehistoric alien invaders.
* Isaac
Asimov’s Foundation & Robot Novels.
* William
Gibson’s Sprawl Trilogy.
*The
equivalence of Lovecraft’s views to those of contemporary quantum physics.
*Gibson’s views
on virtual reality & how it relates to “real” reality.
*The
diminishment of humankind in the 21st century & beyond.
*My own
personal experience with the “alien” & what the word “alien” really
means.
Please check
it out! It was a fun & speculative
romp through the darker recesses of popular culture & cosmic consciousness.

But sci-fi literature encourages us to think about the
larger issues: what exactly is meant by “space”, “dimension” & “time”? ; what is the nature of
reality? ; what are alternate, daughter dimensions & parallel universes? ;
what is a “human being” & can humans transcend their own humanness?
H. P. Lovecraft, Isaac Asimov & William Gibson
have some fascinating theories about these subjects. Read about them in my new book!

Recently, I did one of my best interviews ever on the Paranormal Soup Webcast; also, my
longest interview – two & a half hours!
Host Jason Bland & I talked about my new book, and also, about a vast array of topics: life, the afterlife, and the uncanny ability of science fiction writers & filmmakers to read current cultural trends & patterns and then predict what will be happening in the future!
Please watch the interview on YouTube using the link

Greetings Everyone!
My new book Aliens, Robots & Virtual Reality Idols
in the Science Fiction of H. P. Lovecraft, Isaac Asimov and William Gibson has
been officially released & published by Zero Books as of November 1st.
The book can be ordered from Google, Amazon, Barnes
& Noble, Waterstones, Indiebound, Hive and many other online retail sites;
you can get it in real-time book stories as well.
I appreciate all of you who are planning to read my new book. This book was so much fun for me to write & I think that it will be fun to read.
Along the way,
I raise some important questions: What is meant by the terms
"alien" and " human being"? Can human beings evolve into
homo-sapiens pluses and if so, do they become supra-human or else dehumanized
monsters? What is meant by the concepts "space" and "time",
and most intriguingly, is space = time?
We cannot really answer these questions conclusively,
but we can speculate about the answers. And that is what is really fun to do!
