Every pre-order goes a long way. It also helps support this killer weird lit indie publisher. My secret hope is that these sale indirectly fuel more Weird Horror magazine and Undertow books in the future. Just want an endless tide of UP entries 🤞. Here's hoping.

Crossover time!

The cars are another thing I love about Severance.

Perhaps we *do* need to start anthropomorphising LLMs - not as reliable researchers or trusty assistants, but as familiar spirits or demons. They WILL lie and deceive, and twist your words, and seek to get you into trouble, while following the letter of their instructions.

Speaking both from personal experience and from a 27-year-long career studying identity and how it emerges: yes, if you had been born in Pakistan, you probably *would* feel Pakistani regardless of your ethnicity. And you'd be cheering for *their* cricket team.

Some interesting research that doesn't just apply to how people feel about car travel, but a lot of other things (e.g. politics).
