Adam McGovern is the SWERVE YOUR ENTHUSIASM editor. He is very grateful to the series’ contributors, many of whom have donated their honoraria to the ACLU.
Peggy Nelson, shown at work here, will continue to investigate art and the virtual life through her two irregular series EYE CANDY and SIMULACRA.
Adam McGovern, shown at work here, will continue to deliver over-the-transom, on-tangent essays, dialogues and subjective scholarship via his monthly-ish series OFF-TOPIC.
HILOBROW friend (and co-editor emeritus) Matthew Battles, shown at work here, will continue to produce the series BESTIARY, which offers idiosyncratic investigations into how animals show up in human culture.
Peggy Nelson’s series CROSS-POST will continue to introduce us to the output of some of her favorite bloggers. PS: The ANATOMY OF NORBITON series, which showcases entries from Toby Ferris’s eponymous website, is an outgrowth of CROSS-POST.
We will continue to serialize proto-sf stories from the emerging genre’s RADIUM AGE, c. 1900–1935. (We began serializing Radium Age stories in Spring 2012; we’re now in our 10th year of doing so.) Coming up, during 3Q2021:
- We’ll wrap up our serialization of George C. Wallis’s apocalyptic story “The Last Days of Earth” (1901).
- Frank L. Pollock’s apocalyptic story “Finis” (1906; also published as “The Last Dawn”).
- E. Nesbit’s augmented-intelligence story “The Third Drug” (1908).
HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn is editor of the RADIUM AGE series of reissued proto-sf novels and stories forthcoming in Spring 2022 from MIT Press. More info on this project here.
Plus other curated series!
