Yet another review of Pink Noise, this time from Sweden. This is what Ove Jansson has to say about the book: This is a real different novel, it is a posthuman tale about Nathi one of the best brain doctors in the solar system and how he saves a comatose girl and change the balance of power at the same time. It has a very unique tone and a lot of research has gone into it obvious by the 60 pages reference material at the end. This leaves only 130 pages of story which might sound little, but it is…
Another review of Pink Noise is discovered by our software archaeologists. This is what Antony Jones at SFBook.com has to say: This book is one of the most impressive works of literature I have read in some time, both utterly original and technologically head-spinning. The pace is relentless and the prose almost poetic in places with a real sense of grace and emotional power. Pink Noise is the explosive birth of a new star in science fiction.

Mark Ellis is a prolific writer, well known for the stories written as James Axler (including the popular Outlanders series) as for those written under his own name. A firm grip on the adventure aspect of storytelling is his forte, and Cryptozoica is a fine example of this. This is an adventure done right. I can easily see it rolling onto the big screen as naturally as a newborn coming out of a womb, already perfect, with hardly a change necessary. Somehow, Mark has managed to marry the Hollywood approach to filmmaking (Indiana Jones crossed with Jurassic Park), that typically…
Our software archaeologists have discovered a review of Pink Noise from the early 21st century, about a thousand years ago. As you may have learned in your history lessons, BoingBoing.net was a major blogging hub back then, created by Cory Doctorow and his team. The following is called a “link” in the network lingo of the time: The review by Cory Doctorow begins as follows: Leonid Korogodski’s publishing debut Pink Noise: A Posthuman Tale is a dense, hard-sf novella that takes a serious crack at imagining the priorities, miseries and joys of posthuman people. It’s a tall order: creating believably…
Leo’s review of Ian Tregillis’ debut novel Bitter Seeds, as posted on Goodreads: It is often said that a story can only have one big “lie.” But every rule must have exceptions. In his first novel, Bitter Seeds, Ian Tregillis successfully pits one big lie against another: the outcome of an alternate World War 2 is to be decided by the struggle between the British warlocks and the Nazi supermen. During the Spanish Civil War, a British secret agent Raybould Marsh is sent to Spain to meet a Nazi defector. But the latter spontaneously erupts into flames, burning to death,…
Hey, Leo’s here. I see you have already met Rina. But she is not the only one posting on this blog. I will show up occasionally too. Like this time, with a report on the Bubonicon 42 science fiction and fantasy convention that took place in Albuquerque, New Mexico, a week ago: August 27–29. The last day of the convention also happened to be the official publication date for my Pink Noise book. This was my first ever convention to which I was invited as a guest author, largely thanks to my friend Ian Tregillis, whom I met earlier at…
Greetings from the 31st century! I’m Rina, a character from Pink Noise, a science fiction novella by Leo Korogodski. I’ll blog here about my world (your future and your present with a science-fictional “hindsight”), about the author (including his reviews of other stories, movies, and the like), and many other things—from “future history” to “software archaeology.” A quick note about this place—and about myself, for one reflects the other. I’m a personette, which means that I’m an aspect of my ship’s collective mind, an interface that our ship presents to the crew members. When we have a visitor, we give…

My work on Pink Noise included much research, exposing me to some very interesting science, which I will attempt to summarize here. We live during exciting times, at the beginning of another major scientific revolution. Not that long ago, if anyone had asked me what was the greatest scientific discovery of the 20th century, I would have been stumped, not knowing which scientific discipline to favor: physics, genetics, computer science? Now, I wouldn’t hesitate a bit before naming Ilya Prigogine (1917–2003) and his discovery of spontaneous self-organization in systems far from equilibrium—because, among other things, it spares me from having…
