I’m a fortysomething science fiction writer who’s spent many many hours alone in rooms pondering stuff, and I KNOW THE FUTURE. Yep, I’ve worked it out, more or less.

But I’m also mere days away from first-time fatherhood, and this new filter has shifted my futurist musings in subtle but momentous fashion. Instead of trying to decode the destiny of the human race, I now gaze into the ether searching for actionable information about the fate of one very specific human.

Journey with me as I seek to prepare myself for fatherhood and my daughter for the possible futures she will inherit.
