All of the SF world seems to be running to the challenge to support Peter Watts: Canadian author Peter Watts has had an unfortunate run-in with the US border security thugs. Cory Doctorow at BoingBoing has the details, and a call for support.
I was very impressed with Watts’ Starfish, and the follow-up Maelstrom was equally enjoyable. Starfish was probably the first undersea adventure I’ve enjoyed since Capt. Nemo. It is extremely well written, and I am looking forward to reading Blindsight, Watts’ most acclaimed work so far.
An easy way to support Watts during the ongoing ordeal would be to purchase and read his books. You will certainly not be disappointed: Watts truly is one of the new generation of SF authors to watch out for.
