I\u2019m just about done with my novel Turing & Burroughs <\/em>that I\u2019ve been working on for two years. I\u2019ll be selling it through my Transreal Books <\/a>site starting around September 22, 2012.<\/p>\n

Right now you can read my book-length set of notes for the novel, “Notes for Turing & Burroughs,<\/a>” it’s a free PDF online, it’s about 4 Meg, the length of a novel, profusely illustrated, a free download brought to you by Transreal Books.<\/p>\n

Up until about a week ago I was calling the book, The Turing Chronicles<\/em>, but, while doing my final revisions, I decided that Turing & Burroughs: A Beatnik SF Novel <\/em>is a better fit.<\/p>\n

I went ahead and changed history, by updating my many old blog posts on the novel to use the new name. You can get a comprehensive list of the posts with this blog search <\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here are a few of the posts, individually linked.<\/p>\n
