The first draft of Trans in the Machine: Chronicling the New Cyberpunk Canon is now complete!

It’s been a year this week since the idea of writing a book about transness in cyberpunk first occurred to me. 

Since then, it’s been months of research, writing, conducting interviews, finding sources, and having long, impassioned arguments about cyberpunk. 

None of this would have been possible without you believing in the idea and backing the project.

With the full manuscript printed out, I’ll spend the next few weeks giving it a tidy up before sending along to my amazing editor Lillian Boyd.

Then it’s time for the big edits and rewrites where needed, the last few proofreads, and off to the printers. 

All being well, you should receive your digital and/or physical copies by April at the very latest.

Work is due to begin next week on the cosy cyberpunk poster for Tier 3 backers and up. I’ve been chatting with artist Lyss Menold and they have something special planned. And there’s a little something extra for backers there too. But that surprise will have to wait. 

I’ll share the final approved design of the poster before getting it printed and posted out with the next few months. 

In the meantime, keep looking after each other, finding joy where you can, and supporting trans cyberpunk.
