What I Wrote in 2013
I hope it is not too vain to begin 2014 with a retrospect of what I wrote in 2013. I kind of enjoy gathering it here -- it helps convince me that my solitary office labors are not a waste -- and maybe some readers will find it useful.
This work appeared in print in 2013:

"Skepticism, Godzilla, and the artificial computerized many-branching you" (Nov. 15).
Also in 2013, I began writing short speculative fiction in earnest. I am not sure how this will turn out; I think it's too early for me to know if I'm any good at it. My first effort, a collaboration with professional fiction writer R. Scott Bakker, appeared in Nature ("Reinstalling Eden", listed above). I wish I could post drafts on my website and solicit feedback, as I do with my philosophy articles, but fiction venues seem to dislike that.
Update January 2:
I fear the ill-chosen title of this post might give some people the misleading impression that I wrote all of this material during 2013. Most of the work that appeared in print was finalized before 2013, and a fair portion of the other work was at least in circulating draft before 2013. Here's how things stood at the end of 2012; lots of overlap!
