An Unexpected Hiatus
This week's Unapocalyptic will be delayed because I am laid up in hospital with a serious gall bladder infection. Since my ability to type on my phone is limited, why don't we have a chat instead about what you'd like to see here in 2025? I have lots of ideas, but lately I'm aiming for quality over quantity and am throwing out more than I publish.
The good news is I got a great new short story commission that I'm working on, and a big upcoming foresight project in the works. I'm also migrating my old Zope website to Squarespace, where I hope to integrate it more tightly with this newsletter. I'm doing more self publishing experiments, so you may see an ebook version of The Fallow Orbits.
Some of my most popular posts have been about foresight methods and theory. Interested in more of that? More about 21st century scifi? Or more fiction? Let me know.
Meanwhile, I'll prep for surgery.

Gallbladder update: after four days of investigation, the surgical team finally has a plan. Hopefully I can get it done this weekend. If I am stuck here, I'll get my wife to bring in my laptop and I'll write while I wait. I'm on the surgery list, but can get preempted by any more urgent case that comes in from the ER. Luckily none of this costs me anything so we have made all our decisions strictly according to the unfolding medical evidence--hence the wait. They're just being abundantly cautious, which I am happy about.
Oh no, Karl! First off, are you receiving good care? Can you rest?
Second, to your question, well: I'm interested in more climate change foresight. Also your take on futures methods.
