Light pollution, like other types of pollution is a serious problem. It not only blots out the stars but it disturbs people’s sleep with serious health consequences. As I have been involved with groups trying to educate people about light pollution and how to combat it for many years, I was pleased to come across this most readable book about the subject.

In this very personal book the author tells her own experiences with darkness and the lack of it, as well as the latest scientific evidence about the problem and how it can be reduced and controlled even in cities. She does not shirk from discussing safety concerns in the dark, especially for women, but she relates how she has overcome her fears.

Darkness is the first thing we know in our human existence. Safe and warm inside the bubble of the womb, we are comfortable in that embracing dark. But as soon as we are bought into the light, we learn to fear the dark. Why?

This book is a celebration of all things that go bump in…

From my list on Silicon Valley: sex, power, technology and ambition.

Why am I passionate about this?

I’ve worked in technology for more than a decade, living and working in Silicon Valley, where ideas that sound futuristic can feel inevitable and only a heartbeat away. It can sometimes feel strange, being surrounded by people building the next big thing while still wondering what any of it will actually mean for people, relationships, and society.

That tension is why I write near-future fiction. I love books with big ideas, but I also want heat, romance, ambition, and messy human choices. I’m drawn to stories that bring those worlds together—and ask what happens when the future arrives before we’ve figured out what it means for us.

I’m fascinated by the ways AI and intimacy are becoming intertwined.

We already trust AI with our deepest thoughts, questions, and secrets. Increasingly, people are forming intimate relationships with this software that knows them so well. The more it learns about us, and the better it becomes at anticipating what we want, the more complicated our ideas about desire, consent, and control become.

Like my book, Annie Bot asks whether a choice can truly be yours if someone (or something) has been designed to shape it. If technology can influence or even manufacture desire, what does consent look like?
