New book from Tom Trumpinski!

Riding the Hell-bound Train

now available!

  Riding the Hell-Bound Train is a unique mixture of fact and

   fiction.  The science and futurist correspondent for the

Urbanagora blog, Tom has compiled the best articles,

vignettes, and interviews on subjects ranging from a

   five-year old discovering the stars, to zero-g dance, to the

      biotech revolution.  As an added plus, he's added four

brand-new urban fantasies and a new Tonica story to the

previously-published articles.

What people are saying about the book:

“Individualist.  Communitarian.  Polyamorist.  Technophile.  Libertarian.  Storyteller. Obstinate.  Sci-fi geek.  Lunatic.  Tom will make you laugh; he will make you so hopping mad you would gladly pull the trigger, but most of all he will make you think.  He will challenge your assumptions and reveal a way of thinking you have probably never encountered before through the eyes of a poor farm boy from rural Illinois who came into consciousness as a hippie during the 60s and went on to become a scientist, a writer, and a futurist.  Through his own ornery, obstinate, and fanatically pure ideological lens he offers a vision of the world, the human condition, and the future in this collection of writings on everything from the role of government to his experiences as a polyamorist and the future of humankind.”
