Shane, I wrote "Who Nuked Silicon Valley?" I'm so thrilled you liked the start of it. There are so many great books in this year's SPSFC, but it is insightful what you say about the waning interest in novels. Did you see the survey that reported a 40% decline in reading for pleasure?

Indeed- the novel is facing headwinds in the current media environment. Great to hear from you and I hope your book does well in the competition. Having to surviving voting by a large committee in SPSFC creates some unusual hurdles- a lot of really exceptional but weird books have a hard time rising to the top.
