I'm excited about the new io9 Science Fiction blog. This is their manifesto explaining the site purpose.

Quoted: Earth is full of people who want to sell you cheap ways of seeing the future They tell you tomorrow will be more of the same, with shinier toys. Or that work as we know it is about to end. io9 is the visionary watchdog who calls those charlatans on their shit. We're going to show you a new world that's shockingly different from what you're used to. And it's not always going to be a shiny happy place.
