500 “Brain Fruits” released today

Today 500 “Brain Fruits” are released by L’il Factory, using old printing techniques to birth a far future story.

“A mind-bending, bio-digital fable that pulses with poetic strangeness. Oram’s Brain Fruit is daring, disorienting, and deeply human.”

As the latest review from Josh M on NetGalley says, “A fruit falls and new life begins: a trioid with bee and bug. Thought-provoking short novella about identity and connection. To say too much might spoil it, just read.”

The beginning… “The evolutionary crawl continues its upward curve when the first of the fruits to drop this season hits the ground. It lies there helpless, and I reflect on the fact that, even as I was building this fruit, I thought it was special.”

Shout out for libraries

One of the great things about releasing a new novel is that you get asked to talk about it (and the other stuff you’ve been up to).

So, it was really pleasing to get an invite to speak at Roehampton Library on to speak about We Are Not Anonymous, and about applied science fiction.

Wednesday 30 April (5:30pm to 6:45pm): Roehampton Library – meet the author [free event].

Details of this and other places where I’m speaking and reading are are on my events page.
