Random quote: "Swords, Lances, arrows, machine guns, and even high explosives have had far less power over the fates of nations than the typhus louse, the plague flea, and the yellow-fever mosquito. Civilizations have retreated from the plasmodium of malaria, and armies have crumbled into rabbles under the onslaught of cholera spirilla, or of dysentery and typhoid bacilli. Huge areas have been devastated by the trypanosome that travels on the wings of the tsetse fly, and generations have been harassed by the syphilis of a courtier. War and conquest and that herd existence which is an accompaniment of what we call civilization have merely set the stage for these more powerful agents of human tragedy." ― Hans Zinsser, Rats, Lice and History

Hello friends!

I have recently published a science-fiction book online after a couple years of rather agonising work and I thought this might be a nice place to mention its existence! It's called Sweet Oblivion and it's a retelling of The War of the Worlds set in the modern day. Now, I know what you're thinking - "but that's been done. Literally a thousand times." And you'd be right. But (and I know those past thousand authors also said that, but bear with me) have any of them been truly obsessive about following the individual beats of the book in meticulous detail and translating every single one into a modern setting? Probably not. Read Sweet Oblivion alongside the original text and you'll marvel, marvel I say, at how faithful and respectful an adaptation it is. But not to worry - there is also an original story going on in those pages, too. And it's got things to say and things it does that might really, really surprise you. Please see the link below for more!

All the best!
