I’ve been working in books and publishing since 2004, I’ve been a sci-fi/fantasy fan since my mom read us The Hobbit, complete with voices and songs, and I still manage to mix up my Hugos with my Nebulas, fail to remember which formerly-known-as award is now called what, and lose track of newly-created awards.

Smart glasses. Smart gloves. Smart…shirts? These ambitious wearables never quite took hold in our culture. “While the 2010s was the first decade where wearables really took off, these devices actually have a long, storied history.

Pixar movies have been set in all kinds of places: a coral reef, a closet full of toys, and the inside of the human brain are just a few examples of such creative flights of fancy. But with Luca, the original new fantasy coming from the fabled studio that will stream exclusively on Disney+ next
Ever since a certain video game was announced in 2012 and the eventual cluster of a release last year, the word cyberpunk has been on a lot of people’s lips and sparking a lot of questions (and Twitter debates with fanboys). What is cyberpunk and where did it come from? What makes something fit into

The U.S. is a lot more diversity-conscious today than we were back when our most beloved comic book characters were created. As a result, without intervention from modern showrunners, superhero adaptations would continue to reflect the dubious morals of bygone eras. Sometimes, this intervention results in the creation of new characters of color, like Arrow‘s
Well, we’ve all known this is coming for a while, but it’s getting more real by the day. Cisco Ramon is leaving Team Flash. Which means in the real world that Carlos Valdes is leaving The Flash. No more Vibe. No more cool and nerdy t-shirts. No more awesome villain names. It’s a bummer. To
