Bands of Density
Clive Barker and Joyce Carol Oates are this year’s recipients of the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement.
Sèphera Girón was dramatically expelled from the Horror Writers Association Board of Trustees after publishing (in HWA’s own newsletter) her views on the inevitability of generative AI and why resistance is futile because we will all be assimilated. HWA said: ‘... we reject the assertions in the piece, particularly those calling authors with genuine and sincere concerns regarding the proliferation of genAI (more commonly referred to as simply AI) Luddites and/or gatekeepers.’ [SB]
Ursula K. Le Guin’s home in Portland, Oregon, from 1958 until her death, has been added to the US National Register of Historic Places in memory of her life and work. The family recently donated the house to the local nonprofit outfit Literary Arts, which plans to establish an Ursula K. Le Guin Writers Residency there. (Portland Tribune, 27 July) [L]
J. Michael Straczynski was strongly criticized after announcing that a new standalone book of Harlan Ellison’s I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream includes an ‘AI’ response to or review of the story. (BlueSky, 10 August) Why? Both ‘for fun’ and ‘since MOUTH was the first AI story’. All those precursors like van Vogt’s Games Machine, Fredric Brown’s self-appointed big boss (‘Yes, now there is a God.’) and Mike in The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress were presumably just Large Language Models.

Rumblings. Eastercon 2026 and the anime-themed HaruhiCon were both very happy to share a venue. Warwick University’s double-booking of Kitacon (anime, cosplay) with a touch rugby event in August was less successful. No prizes for guessing which annoyed the other’s members with repeated homophobic, transphobic and generally sexist harassment.
Infinitely Improbable
As Others Shun Us. The search for newer and better ways not to say ‘science fiction’ continues: Emma Hine’s debut novel Flotilla, in which ‘Aboard a flotilla of city-sized spaceships, the remnants of humanity live precarious lives among the stars’ is described as a ‘“sweeping, post-Earth” literary epic’. (The Bookseller, 12 August) [LT]

Editorial. The Langford household was afflicted by lurgi in the last week of August, and I hope it doesn’t show too much in this issue. Updating the SF Encyclopedia with Hugo winners and other Worldcon revelations has seemed even more of a chore than usual, and weariness rather than pity stayed my hand from listing the names of those involved in the 2023 Worldcon who were officially told by WSFS to stand in the naughty corner. Anyone consumed by curiosity is referred to ‘WSFS Business Meeting Recaps’ below.
