“Jews vs Aliens” is due out on 19th March and features Rosanne Rabinowitz’s story “The Matter Of Meroz” – the book is available for pre-order on Amazon. The fabulous cover art can be seen above.

Will Mitchell was interviewed by Huffington Post – topics discussed include space travel, self-replicating machines and his SF novel “Creations”:

The book is set in the year 2040, with lunar colonization well underway, and companies vying to find ways of exploiting the moon’s minerals. One of those companies picks up where NASA’s real-world research left off, and sets its sights on self-replicating machines.

The question posed by Creations is this: what if it went wrong? What if this exponentially growing swarm of autonomous machines stopped doing what their human controllers wanted? What if evolution took over, the familiar process of natural selection, ensuring that those machines which are best at surviving and reproducing, not necessarily the ones most useful to us, go on to create the next generation? What would that mean for the human race?punkpunk
