Andrew Osborn asked T.R. Napper:

When is the next novel? I enjoyed 36 streets more than any cyberpunk novel since, oh, Effinger really. I want some more!

T.R. Napper Well mate, you're in luck. The next novel, The Escher Man, is out September 2024 (and I've a novella, Ghost of the Neon God, out in June 2024). Both are set in the same universe as 36 Streets. In fact, The Escher Man takes place five years after the events of 36 Streets, and some characters do cross over. It is, however, a stand-alone story.

I just finished the copyedits on the new novel a couple of days back - very much looking forward to seeing it out in the world. Cheers, TRN.

David Stoltenberg asked T.R. Napper:

A true pleasure to see antipodean sensibilities take root and blossom in your work, worthy successors to a similar energy in old school PKD's 'Faith of Our Fathers', Cordwainer Smith's 'Norstrilia', and M.K. Joseph's 'The Hole in the Zero'. You mentioned in a previous response that 'Faith' was a 'very probably', just wondering if you've ever read 'Norstrilla' or 'Hole'?

David Stoltenberg asked T.R. Napper:

The 1967 Philip K Dick story "Faith of Our Fathers" (Wiki: Tung Chien is a Vietnamese bureaucrat in a world conquered by the Chinese...) was my gateway read to many of the 36 Streets universe's underpinnings. Are you familiar with it? If not, may I recommend it to you and to your readers? Just thought that you and OG PKD being fellow travelers in world building might be good words to share. More! Soon! Please!
