We are those jaded motherfuckers who’ve seen everything. We worry about fiction. Where are the new ideas? Where’s the weird shit? What’s the future going to look like, and why will it matter? Please, surprise us. Shock us out of our ennui, and, like the iconic hooker with a heart of gold, or the free spirit w/terminal illness, help make our lives worth living again.
