PZ re: writing another book
Based on your blogging at the time of the atheist book, I got the impression you did not really enjoy the whole process.
If you write another book, you should go for a sword and sorcery and biology fantasy.
I did not enjoy the process the last time because my editor had a major nervous breakdown*, let the book languish for a year, and was eventually fired. I assume that’s not routine.**
*Not my fault, I don’t think.
**But maybe my writing inspires a Lovecraftian madness, and would be routine if I tried again.

Ha! One of this guys calls himself a “futurist”.
Futurists were an Italian cultural movement ca. 1910s-1920s . I doubt he is that old.
A futurologist is a different matter, but they are supposed to have a solid base in academia.
Finally managed to catch one of these with the timing working out for me for once. Was good. Thanks again.
