This Wists thumbnail site is dedicated to collecting links to sites displaying automata, from clockworks to electronics. Right now, they're showing replicas of the Mechanical Turk, a small hand-cranked storm-scene in a porcelain cup, an automata orchestra, hand-cranked monkey automata (in fezzes, natch), and historical accounts of Victorian steam-driven human automata.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
