A subthread of this would be books in 2023 by silklisters. The

Narayan [3] off the top of my head.
Any others?

These books do not count as "new" exactly, but before year's end I will
be publishing new editions of my four existing novel(la)s. (One of them
with an introduction by the very same Cory Doctorow!)
1) Acts of the Apostles (1999), a nano-bio-cyberpunk novel about a
Silicon Valley messiah; introduction by Cory Doctorow;
2) Cheap Complex Devices (2002), a metafictiony account of the inaugural
Hofstadter Prize for Machine-Written Narrative; introduction by David
Weinberger;
3) The Pains (2008), an illustrated dystopian phantasmagoria, "George
Orwell's 1984 as told by Philip K.Dick," according to Scottish SF
grandmaster Ken MacLeod, who wrote the introduction to the new edition;
4) Biodigital (2014), 'Acts of the Apostles' reimagined, only darker,
with a new introduction by John Biggs (known to some Silklisters from
his years as editor-in-chief at places like Gizmodo and Techcrunch).
The current editions of these books are available at the usual suspects,
Amzn most prominent among them, but you can grab a free copy of either
The Pains or Biodigital in exhange for signing up for my substack,
Sundman figures it out! It's free and easy to unsubscribe whenever you
want (and you keep the book, of course).
When the new editions become available (in about 2 week's time) I'll
post a note here if that's OK with our listMom. Spanish language
editions will be available in January or February 2024, and Japanese
translations are in the works.

Free Pains here: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/2rqa6ahk6u
My new novel, Mountain of Devils, a psychological thriller that is
prequel to both Acts of the Apostles and Biodigital, will be published
sometime in early 2024.
Kind regards,
And thanks for asking, Udhay!
