Last month, Annalee Newitz wrote a piece for io9.com about recent science fiction that plays with the idea: “what if ‘Intelligent Design’ wasn’t just a stealth marketing gimmick for creationism?”
Here’s another recent novel for Newitz’s list: I bought Kay Keynon’s Bright the Sky while I was at Denvention 3. In it, some god-like aliens have occupied a pocket universe ‘adjacent’ to ours, and populated it with ‘hand made’ replicas of sapient species from our universe, including us. It’s full of the weird, I’m enjoying it, and Cynthia ordered a copy of the sequel.
