This was your plan, not mine

Today I have a new story out! Nature Futures has published Planned Obsolescence.

This story is for my friend Merc, who likes the stuff in it. It is also for my friend Mike. Most of my Nature shorts are for Mike. But Merc is still around to read it, and the Mike in question is John M. Ford. Sometimes half a conversation is better than none. This is me looping Merc into my conversation with Mike.

Anyway I hope you like it, even those of you who know neither of them. (But you can read both of their stuff when you're done with this!)

This one has AIs and...what they do when they find out they've been made deliberately mortal.

C is correct in that Triceratops is the best! I'm passing the link on to several other people who will enjoy this.

Thank you for doing that!

See, this is where it's useful to write characters who are not oneself, because I actually am not in C's camp, I am firmly in the camp of mosasaurus and other ancient aquatic reptiles. But we are all a beautiful rainbow.

Some people complain that when you're a grown-up, no one ever talks to you about what your favorite dinosaur is, but these people have clearly got the wrong grown-up social circles, these conversations happen to me all the time.
