Last-minute Editorial Update: <\/strong>It’s actually happening at noon. Which is 44 minutes from when I’m typing this.<\/p>\n

I suppose I should have mentioned that sooner…<\/p>\n

I’m doing another one of these Reddit AMA thingies next Wednesday.\u00a0 Prior to that event, I’m supposed to post some kind of evidence that I am not, for example, Hilary Clinton who has seized Peter Watts’s online identity in an attempt to damage his credibility with false posts.<\/p>\n

Hopefully this will suffice:<\/p>\n

\"PW-AMA\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If not, here’s the introductory passage I dashed off while dabbing Polysporin on my many cuts and bruises:<\/p>\n

I’m Peter Watts. This is my second run at one of these AMA things (the first was back in 2014). Tachyon set this up to promote The Freeze-Frame Revolution<\/em>, but that’s only one novella set in a larger sequence so you might want to wander a bit further afield. For example, I have a complex relationship with raccoons. I am a convicted tewwowist in the State of Michigan. I have a big scar on my right leg. I am part of a team working on a Norwegian Metal Science Opera about sending marbled lungfish to Mars, and the co-discoverer of Dark energy keeps screwing up my autocannibalism scene by inventing radical new spaceflight technology.<\/p>\n

Really, the field is wide open. So.<\/p>\n

AMA.WR.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now that it’s all on the official record, I’ll forward it to Reddit so they’ll know I’m serious.\u00a0 Or at least, who I say I am.\u00a0 Then, I guess, we wait until Wednesday.<\/p>\n

See you then.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
