- Clade, by Mark Budz: Home is Where It Makes You, by Lori Ann White
(7/12/04)
- Review.
- Sure, Clade has bitchin' new biotech. . . . But Clade also has mothers who love their children, brothers who stand up for each other . . . and a man and a woman who refuse to let this strange new world change what is most basic and human about them.
- Interview: Lisa Goldstein, by Lori Ann White
(7/28/03)

- A Lovely Song, Slightly Out of Tune: Across the Nightingale Floor by Lian Hearn, by Lori Ann White
(1/20/03)
- Review.
- As he is trained in the ways of death Takeo is faced with a question: Is he a peaceful man being taught to kill, or a killer with a veneer of compassion?
- Finding the Human in Hard SF: Impact Parameter by Geoffrey Landis, by Lori Ann White
(5/27/02)
- Review.
- Not only do we understand the science in Landis's stories, but through his characters we feel its importance. Like the creation of great art or the expression of extraordinary compassion, the pursuit of knowledge can define us as human because it gives us something beyond ourselves toward which we may reach.
- Technological Magic, Magical Technology: Empty Cities of the Full Moon by Howard V. Hendrix, by Lori Ann White
(3/18/02)
- Review.
- At first read, Howard V. Hendrix's Empty Cities of the Full Moon seems to exemplify Clarke's Law, but in truth Hendrix goes deeper than that: technology is magic, with all its mystical underpinnings and sense of awe intact, while magic is technology, with its rigorous R&D requirements and painstaking development.
- Quantum Religion: Ken Wharton's Divine Intervention, by Lori Ann White
(12/10/01)
- Review.
- Wharton has created a plausible science-based religion called Symmology, predicated on a new interpretation of quantum mechanics—that the universe is truly time-symmetric.
