Important Announcement for C&D2!
You’ll note that over the or three years I’ve been working on C&D2, I’ve never mentioned the name. That is because I knew that if I gave out the name, I would be badgered by questions until I finished.
But now I am finished! Here’s the name:

What to the Modern White Guy is “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?”?
I have always been inspired by the story of Fredrick Douglass, a slave who escaped slavery to become a renowned orator and author. His is not the story of a man who was second-rate, shooed into the spotlight only for his relative accomplishments compared to his past. What use would that be? No, he was not merely any random speaker, but Fredrick Douglass, a name that survives to this day in history books, no matter how often it is skimmed over.
Signal Boost: SINGULARITY SUNRISE!
A shameless plug for someone else.
The Taste for Realism
I have seen, and admittedly indulged in that fan activity I will call the Fact Checking Game. It goes like this: First, you take some work of fiction, particularly a popular one, and you find some fascinating idea or claim it has. Then you deconstruct it with real world logic, checking all the facts and invariably coming up with an unrealistic or at least implausible conclusion. At this point, bemoaning that the creator did not think of this may commence. As a sequel, you can find some plausible counterpoint, and argue with the proponents of the former conclusion until the cows come home.
This is not, in itself, a bad thing.
Whoop. Whoop. Been checking periodically for this since I listened to the audiobook version.
Cant wait to read.
I’m super excited about this!
Ive been trying to pre order the audiobook but having trouble finding it. Is it gonna be on audible some other platform?
For whatever reason, ACX does not allow ordinary individuals to offer a pre-order. We’re hoping that we can get it out on release day, but that also depends on how quickly ACX processes it.
So glad to hear. Congratulations on the pending release! Very much looking forward to it.
Most excellent.
YESSS!! Looking forward to it!
