I sip my morning coffee while I read research for my screenplay. I’m focused on an article on how fossil fuel corporations are swarming the COP29 climate conference. 

Reading about the success of oil companies selling their fiction is depressing.  My day stalls before it starts. 

Then I get a Substack notification from you. I check it out. 

You reminded me that science fiction matters and that our personal worlds are built on a foundation of hope. 

Thanks.

I'm glad I could help even if in a small way, Norm. Most of the 21st century is depressing, I find. But a lot of history has been, too. Hope is just about as necessary as oxygen in my life these days.

Yup. Since the American election I’ve noticed many people making an extra effort to offer a big smile, a hardy hello and an inquisitive how-are-you.

Hope is infectious.

Take Care.
