Goonan's Work Appears in Wide Variety of Locations

Primary tabs

Visiting Professor and science fiction writer Kathleen Ann Goonan has been extraordinarily prolific this summer. July 2013 Popular Science Magazine includes work by Kathleen Ann Goonan as well as  Kim Stanley Robinson, Nancy Kress, and other writers in Today's Best Science Fiction Writers Imagine the Future
http://www.popsci.com/science/article/2013-06/dispatches-future?page=3

Goonan is also writing a story for Project Hieroglyph at Arizona State University (http://hieroglyph.asu.edu/) which will be included in an anthology to be published by William Morrow. The vision of this Neal Stephenson-generated project is to write science fiction
that is optimistic about the future and about what science and technology can do to bring about these positive changes. Goonan's story focuses on how universally available science-based education and neurological interventions will change the world as we know it for the better.

Another work-in-progress is a book chapter for INTELLIGENT MACHINES, UPLOADED MINDS, a Wiley-Blackwell textbook that will include the projections or philosophical/ethical musings by scientists, academics, and writers on the possibilities of trans-and-post humanism.

A story examining the possibilities and ethics of trans-species genetic engineering, "Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" will soon be published at www.tor.com, a prominent online fiction venue.

Two other new stories should be out this July. "Bootstrap," on the subject of neuroplasticity, will be on the newsstand in MIT's Technology Review (Tech Review Science Fiction
http://www2.technologyreview.com/sf/).  "Sport," in which a teenager with a particular synesthesia processes incoming eavesdropping data for the NSA (which proves to be rather timely) will be out in the September issue of ARC http://www.arcfinity.org/, a British journal
published under the auspices of New Scientist Magazine.  TELLING TALES, an anthology including stories by Clarion West Alumni to benefit that non-profit literary organization, leads with Goonan's story "The Parrot Man."

A reprint of "Sundiver Day," a YA story that was first published in the Viking anthology THE STARRY RIFT, is in the July 2013 issue of CICADA.

Discover Magazine story, "A Love Supreme" (reprinted in Lightspeed Magazine and in this fall's Year's Best SF 18) can be read at http://discovermagazine.com/2012/oct/20-a-love-supreme .
