Let this be a lesson to all worldbuilders: the future is always stupider than you think.
In 1999, I was playing a decker in Shadowrun, and tried to distract a guard by hacking a water fountain to overflow, and my GM said "why would a water fountain be on the network? That's fucking stupid. No you can't try."
Well it's 2026 and I just want you to know, Phil, that I FUCKING CALLED IT!

Posting this again because I've been getting questions: at this moment there is no licensed merch for Murderbot or Sanctuary Moon except what is on Worldbuilders Market worldbuildersmarket.com/collections/... where it's sold for charity fundraising. And they are getting a new t-shirt design soon.

Periodic PSA, the only currently licensed Murderbot merch is at Worldbuilders Market, where it's sold as part of a charity fundraiser. You may want to sign up for their new product notices because they should have a new Murderbot thing coming up: worldbuildersmarket.com/collections/...

Folks, please don’t post links to unlicensed merchandise in my mentions. I know it’s out there but I can’t do anything about it and I’d rather not see it. The only licensed merch is being sold by Worldbuilders to fund raise for charity. Link below.

Nobody asked, but:
I think the biggest pitfall of sci-fi/fantasy storytelling, especially for worldbuilders, in the infodump.
You're (rightfully) just so proud of all the work you put into creating a cohesive setting that you just wanna PUKE it all over readers/watchers on page one.
