Cat Heads in Space: The Novel That Grew a Body
Some books begin as sentences. Others begin as outlines or fragments scrawled on napkins at two in the morning. This one began as a sound. Specifically, it began as the sound of my own voice reading a line about a cat head floating through space in a Life Helmet, arguing with another cat head about whether their ship had a name, and realizing that the argument was funnier and sadder and more philosophically loaded than…

The dark side of dark stores
The army of on-the-clock delivery boys, imperilling themselves and pedestrians, has become a familiar sight across urban India. They emerge, bearing essentials you ordered, from the hub that enables the ten-minute delivery—the dark store.

If there’s any chance of having some issues prioritized, I’d sure appreciate it.)
