Peter Watts’ incredibly blackpilled blog is what completely changed my mind on the urgency of climate change. By his own standard, even if it’s all overblown doompilling, the alternative is even worse. His outlook of deliberately making downer fiction with awful endings about very real issues down the line is designed to make you scared and angry in an effort to get people to act instead of feeling good about a miracle happening in future. It’s very subversive in its method.

Blindsight (by the same author) is my favorite sci-fi novel of all time. All his books are available for free on his website. Check them out folks.

They are. Though I suggest giving something to The Kibble Fund if you can.

Welcome to c/writing!

This is a space for all kinds of discussion referring to writing. This could include the structure and style found in different types of writing, authors worth talking about, different genres, trends, etc.

This is also a space for users who wish to share their own writing for feedback. This could look like independently posting excerpts of poems/prose/plays or it could be replying to one of the writing prompt threads. Brainstorming and worldbuilding ideas are welcome too!

Ideally, this will be a community where we work together to become better writers and appreciators of writing in all its forms.

All that said, please note that Code of Conduct still applies here. Please apply content warnings where applicable and spoiler material that might be inappropriate.
