@mrewanmorrison.bsky.social on his debut sci-fi novel For Emma—a grieving father, a simulated child, and a future full of moral knots. 3/5 🎧 tinyurl.com/mtw499

I interviewed author @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social and reviewed his new sci-fi thriller "For Emma." A timely, gripping, and chilling read that takes AI, the crisis of meaning, and the erosion of free speech to their most horrifying logical conclusions. americandreaming.substack.com/p/this-machi...

Ewan Morrison’s sci-fi thriller, For Emma, takes AI and the crisis of meaning to their most horrifying logical conclusions. | @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social @jamie-paul.bsky.social

JESUS MOTHERFUCKING CHRIST

And to be slightly more eloquent, I can't recommend @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social's latest novel "For Emma" highly enough as a cautionary tale of where unregulated AI companies will lead us (if we haven't been led there already...)

Fascinating to be part of Ewan's media blitz (media blitzkrieg?). First The Crop, then the BBC: neilscott.substack.com/p/the-five-s...

My 9th book - FOR EMMA - is now available from all bookshops and on all ebook formats. (turn on the volume on the trailer) Enjoy.

Morning. I'll be on BBC RADIO 4 this evening on Front Row with Kirsty Wark. We'll be discussing the dangers of the Big Tech plan to merge humans with AI and the new novel - For Emma. Programme starts at 19:15 UK time. Enjoy.

"Reason hates the fact that there’s love and lust and anger and all these things that seem to be hardwired into us. Pure reason wants to start again: redesigning a blank-slate society with blank-slate humans." — @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social

Next week at Verdurin: Accelerationist Society and its Future with @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social and Nicholas Blincoe. 📅 9 April, 7pm 🔗https://buff.ly/9Cmb3o0 When Ted Kaczynski’s manifesto finds an afterlife in the cult veneration of Luigi Mangione, are we doomed by the Unabomber’s predictions?

Introducing Nicholas Blincoe who'll be in conversation with @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social at Verdurin on 9 April. Rochdale-born Nicholas Blincoe is a novelist, screenwriter, and historian. He completed a PhD on Derrida’s debt to economics at Warwick University, /

I had the pleasure of reviewing @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social's new sci-fi thriller, "For Emma", as well as chatting with him. A deeply chilling and timely book, and a fascinating, wide-ranging conversation in @queermajority.bsky.social. www.queermajority.com/essays-all/s...

"I sat down with Morrison to discuss his novel - For Emma - modern society, nihilism, the crisis of meaning, violence seeking an answer, hate speech, and more." www.queermajority.com/essays-all/s...

Ewan Morrison's new novel 'For Emma' is an all-too-real fiction of big tech innovation gone wrong. @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social will discuss the story - and the philosophy of "move fast and break people" - with Nicholas Blincoe at Verdurin on 9 April. verdur.in/event/accele... @leamington.bsky.social

The Tranhumanist Cult Test. I put through the 8-point test to determine if it is a cult. See what you think. ewanmorrison.substack.com/p/the-tranhu...

For the latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast Alistair Braidwood talks to @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social about his latest novel FOR EMMA, published today, 25 March, with @leamington.bsky.social – discussing technology & transhumanism, but also love, regret, addiction, & grief www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgBf...

A new video today. Inspired by the real-life Brain Chip Implant experiments (Elon Musk/Neuralink) & the technogothic tradition (Frankenstein, Dr Jekyll &Mr Hyde, The Island of Dr Moreau), it is a tale of possession by a new force. The novel is published next week.

Publication day is today - enjoy!

FOR EMMA by @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social is published by @leamington.bsky.social this week. It's an astonishing techno-thriller and scarily relevant to the present day debate on accelerationism. You need to read this book. leamingtonbooks.com/for-emma

"We associate accelerationism with big tech and the right-wing libertarians. You hear it coming out of the transhumanists, the tech utopians, the e/accs and the NRx trolls." @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social and I in @glasgowrevbooks.bsky.social today. glasgowreviewofbooks.com/2025/03/25/t...

“Welcome to the Useless Class”: @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social in conversation with @irvinewelsh.bsky.social www.huckmag.com/article/for-...

Given the sheer volume of contemporary Scottish writers who seem to be intent on not addressing the elephant(s) in the room, all I can say is, thank f*** for @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social and @irvinewelsh.bsky.social 👏 www.huckmag.com/article/for-...

Are people leaving Blue Sky or does it have a bot problem? Are you seeing these kinds of deleted accounts in your inbox too?

After they erase the truth . . . what then? 56 days until publication of FOR EMMA. (the video is 22 seconds - turn on the volume)

“When strangers call me Ivor it’s like getting a French kiss from a public relations consultant” In this TV special from 1998, directed by @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social for STV’s weekly arts programme Don’t Look Down, Ivor Cutler interviews himself… 7/7 www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Z6g...

We are driven by technological progress, but what is driving it? Is it an evolutionary force? Is it a force independent of us, that ultimately does not care for us? Can we resist tech progress? Do we have a choice? Your thoughts appreciated. A little video, turn on the volume please.

Check out 'Detox' by @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social -- a short story about one man's attempt to quit alcohol. Conveys both the humour and pain so well -- it's writing of the highest quality. urbanpigspress.co.uk/2025/01/05/d... #shortstories #addiction #thenewyou @urbanpigspress.bsky.social

Just as @mrewanmorrison.bsky.social was ahead of the field with pandemic fiction and novels about ideological capture, so he is the pioneer of AI literature in Scotland. Terrifying, engrossing, masterful. The most inventive and original writer we have.

Conundrum: Once Elon Musk is working in the US Govt & has access to NASA files - what if he discovers that the moon landings were staged? Would he: (1) Cancel his plans for Mars colonies? (2) Come clean to the public? (3) Hush it up & keep pushing his Mars project? Pics: Capricorn 1, 1979
