The Sky Is Ours is out today! As I wrote I spent so much time thinking about other novels and stories that examine technology—brave, new, world-changing inventions—as their central subject. Electric Literature let me write about some of my favorites: electricliterature.com/7-books-about-…

Research for The Sky Was Ours led me to the obscure history of human attempts at birdlike flight, a lost era of daring, incredibly dangerous experiments. It's a saga strewn with broken necks — and tantalizing possibilities. For Literary Hub: lithub.com/crash-again-cr…

“Maybe the thirst for flight itself became a kind of madness, the kind of desire that makes risk beside the point.” Joe Fassler on a brief history of failed attempts at human flight. lithub.com/crash-again-cr…
