<p>April brought us stories and books about the merging of the biological and artificial, zombification, organic routers, and much more. Plus we talk about what we&#8217;ve been reading, our favorite stories this month, and translations that we wish we could have <em>yesterday</em>.</p> <p>Remember: with new stories and books coming to their attention each week, make sure to check the SFT website for updates. Enjoy, and keep reading!</p> <p>A bientôt!</p> <p>P.S. It&#8217;s Jen&#8217;s fault this is late!
