What Urban Fantasy Tells Us About the Future
Since we launched in January, io9 has steadfastly covered only science fiction, futurism, and science. We've had arguments with you over what this means, and occasionally we've covered borderline-fantasy tales like Hellboy and Ekaterina Sedia's novel The Alchemy of Stone. But now we've decided to open our content coverage up to urban fantasy. Our muses are still science and the future, but we think urban fantasy is a genre where many great creators are thinking about these very subjects. We cannot ignore it any longer. More »

Meet a Teleportation Chamber Full of New io9ers
Yes, it's time for us to get out the giant cranial stapler, dust off some slightly damaged brain implants (their surfaces may be scratched, but they still work great), and boot up a few new io9ers to help us in our quest for galactic domination. We've got a new contributor whose special power is reading books faster than a speeding bullet, and two new interns whose superpowers are about to manifest at any moment. Say hello to the new crop of io9ers, whose scalps are still a little bloody from those neuroboosts. More »
