Another One Down

Bye-bye Infinite Matrix:

12.30.05

Resistance is futile, but even so, it's best to go out kicking and screaming, don't you think?

So the Infinite Matrix will present a final fireworks of stories, essays and columns, and then will cease publication. The site will stay up for a year or so, although older work may be removed as the rights run out.

Look what we've got: a final Runcible Ansible, with its accustomed bite, a fantastic story by Rudy Rucker, The Men in the Back Room at the Country Club, grafitti photos by A. Fluffy Bunny and original art by Seattle street artist Charles Whiteside, two more columns by Howard Waldrop, an essay on race, TV, and science fiction by Pam Noles, a story by Cory Doctorow and Charles Stross, an essay by William Gibson. There are even a few surprises to go up over the next few days.

More later. I'll be in touch.

Ach. It's a shame.

Truth be told, I'm amazed that it lasted this long. I remember when Wired News was hyping up the original Willie Siros wankfest about how Infinite Matrix was going to be a SF site and a job board, and it fell through because all of the dotcom money being promised turned back into pumpkins and mice and the people offering it moved back in with their parents. (Me, cynical about the residents of Austin? Naaaaah.)

Yeah, that's true--it's been limping for a while. But it's published some good stuff in its time.

I tell you though, when Dave Langford is reduced to nicking material from some bloke's LiveJournal it's time to call a halt to proceedings...

Sure--you don't need my permission to read this. Although I should warn you it's probably going to be light on content for a while. There's a new review here, however.
