Writers who were once relegated to the internet are reshaping traditional publishing. It’s partly thanks to their infectious, generous passion.

I am no-one’s father. Not even a man. But, if today you feel sad or lonely where many are celebrating a bond with their own fathers, I’m here. I’m proud of you for all that makes you who you are. Your kindness, your imagination, your hope. You need do nothing to prove yourself to me. I love you.

Murderbot's TV adaption will feature major changes. I talked to the creators about how those decisions were made - The Escapist
Murderbot Season 1 will feature some major changes to the novella, but the creators are doing so for good reason.

We are given the choice to live in love rather than fear. And we'll keep getting that choice, over and over again, until we are ready to let go of fear and choose love. Oh, I wish today was the day.
