The World Future Society took a short parable of mine as an article for The Futurist Magazine. Â It was an interesting process to create it – they asked for what I interpreted as a more serious article, but this is what wanted to come out and play. Â I usually have more control of the tone of my writing than this, but they must have liked it since it showed up in their magazine and on their website. Â It may morph into the beginning of the Backing into Eden book which I hope to get to right after I finish Edge of Dark (my next novel).
