i had to kill the pig

The first bit of fiction from author Warren Ellis that I read was I Had To Kill The Pig; it is still my favorite among his work, though the abandoned novella he was doing on LiveJournal, about a cyborg’d journalist/blogger being shipped to post-pandemic America to cover its re-emergence, was a near second. This story has been posted here before, but his old site Die Puny Humans has since died, puny human; its current location is posted here for the common edification.

( boingboing : Bill Gates 0wns Einstein, Groucho , Freud, Asimov, Fuller, et al )
