AP piece about my work – would be interested to know if it is in the print as well as the on-line version of the New York Times:

Grateful to hear of other print sightings – I see that Huffington Post and Salon have both picked it up online.
By Light Alone is not trying to be hard science fiction (it’s a satire) so for me the implausibility of the technological background wasn’t the kind of deal-breaker that it was in Gradisil.
