You are our first official VIP guest! My reading has alas been slowed down a bit by this thing known as my “day job,” but I’m still managing to read at least one story a day on the subway. “Biographical Notes to ‘A Discourse on the Nature of Causality, with Airplanes’” was especially pleasurable. The zeppelins, wisdom ants, and espionage are wonderful mixed in with the philosophical digressions on the nature of causality. Probably one of the most engaging and imaginative alternate history shorts I’ve ever read. I love the way it goes beyond the usual “if x happened differently, then perhaps y would also have gone differently” – and then both the substance and form of the story embody that approach.

Sparkly unpredictable drag act is exactly what I was going for. Let me know how you like the rest!
