I read a LOT of sci-fi, including various subgenres such as hard sci-fi, New Wave, New Weird, steampunk, space opera, queer sff, Afrofuturism, climate fiction, post-apocalyptic, alternate history, cyberpunk, Arabesque, singularity/transhumanism, satire, and international works in translation (Chinese, Korean, South Asian, Central European). My reading takes me from the golden age to the present.
