Hi all! Breaking my social media blackout to bring you some news: I've got a book coming out 12/8/25! It's a novel (fiction!) and I think you'll like it. Check out aaronrparsons.com for details!
Lots of people have been asking how my book Coherence is doing. The short answer: GREAT! If you’ve read Coherence and haven’t left a rating yet, I’d really appreciate your help getting it to 50 on Amazon. And if you haven’t read it yet... maybe now’s the time to give it a try?
Quick update on my novel, COHERENCE, one month in: - 200 sales (v. strong for an indie debut)! - 26 reviews (4.7⭐Amazon), 16 (5⭐ Goodreads) I'm loving hearing everyone's reactions! Here's a concept image of Ruby, our badass protagonist! aaronrparsons.com/books-portfoli…
Among this year's good reads from @UCBerkeley profs, check out a newly published #scifi novel by astronomer Aaron Parsons @UCBProf. See the list news.berkeley.edu/2025/12/01/gif… @UCB_Astronomy
This from @davidshor made me LOL. "having wealthy people or economists be mad at you is a feature, not a bug" .... anyway, it's a very interesting conversation I recommend it.
Really excited I got to talk to @BharatRamamurti about what the polling says about AI, people’s intuitions of fairness in a hypothetical post scarcity world, and most controversially price controls Check it out! open.substack.com/pub/bharatrama…
Paperback preorders for COHERENCE just opened on Amazon! a.co/d/2KwBpgF For fun, I asked Gemini 3 (just released today) to illustrate a scene from my book. Not exactly as I imagined, but interesting!
Final proofs are in! COHERENCE is no longer virtual. I am hoping to get to 100 ebook preorders before my 12/8 release to launch high enough for the world to start finding it. I’d love it if you can help! aaronrparsons.com/books-portfoli…
Just dropped a new video explaining the weak link in computing security that I use in my novel COHERENCE to take over the world. It’s a real thing! youtu.be/HATbATRd5T4.

Electricity prices are rising faster than they have in decades. There have been a lot of viral posts explaining why prices are rising. But many of them are wrong or misleading. 🧵
