The social function of the economics profession is to explain, over and over again, that your boss is actually right and that you don't really want the things you want, and you're secretly happy to be abused by the system. 1/

I am hugely proud of my story in Wild Cards: House Rules, but I had no idea it was out yet. Seems it was released, at least in Ireland and UK on 5 December 😲 Coming to North America in February.
The cover of Wild Cards: House Rules. It shows a hooded man, with a mysterious island in the background.
