Digital to Analogue — Alastair Reynolds
You’ll find this in the collection, Zima Blue and Other Stories, and the anthology In Dreams.
A rather different take on why the dance music craze spread like wildfire in the 90’s. As someone who was totally into the London acid techno scene in the 90’s this was right up my alley.
A fun little short with a nice touch of nostalgia for some of us.
Next up in the Alastair Reynolds timeline is Byrd Land Six.

Enola — Alastair Reynolds
You’ll find this in the collection, Zima Blue and Other Stories.
A really enjoyable, short, post-apocalypse story. A bit confusing at first as it jumps back and forth between a human girl and an AI machine, but it all makes total sense at the end.
Next up from Alastair will be Digital to Analogue.

Nunivak Snowflakes — Alastair Reynolds
You’ll find this in the anthology, Deep Navigation.
Messages from the future found inside fish falling from the sky landing in front of the person the message was meant for.
Basically, someone from the future is being naughty and messing with the past in an indigenous community in Alaska.
Other than The Big Hello, of which i have no idea when published, this is Alastair’s first published story. So it’s very early Alastair Reynolds, so don’t be expecting Revelation Space or anything like it.
But it’s a reasonable, quirky, little read that’ll keep you happily ensconced in you favourite reading pit for a while.
