About Us

Singularity&Co. is Brooklyn based group of individuals coming together to share a love of futures past. We're here to rescue the pulp sci fi of the past, for the future.

We’re time traveling archivists, and we're going to take some of the 20th Century's greatest works of imagination, and bring them into the 21st.

Our names are Cici James, Jamil V. Moen and Ash Kalb, and if you'd like to know a bit more about us and the other things we do, you've come to the right place.

With regard to SCIFI, Cici reads voraciously, and is an ardent fan of Star Trek: TNG. Her favorite captain, however, will always be James T. Kirk.

Heroine Chic: The Season of Sci Fi Fashion

Written by Jamil. Posted in Future News

The fashion industry is the kookiest contender in the futurist camp, but it belongs there.  From the thousand-yard stare of runway models to the lament of “that’s so last season,” the discourse is always intent upon the horizon.  It’s no cosmic coincidence that a serious sci fi, fantasy and comic slant dominates designer n...

Mars: Portraits From the Me Decade

Written by Jamil. Posted in Future News

Two of our ebook releases—our latest, Mr. Stranger’s Sealed Packet, and our premiere, A Plunge into Space, took us to Mars long before we had any idea of what it looked like.  When we finally got the red planet to pose for a picture with the Mariner 4 probe (1965) and the landing of Viking I (1976), the results were neither the canals o...

Book No. 3 - Mr. Stranger's Sealed Packet

Written by Ash. Posted in Site Updates

A lot has happened in the few weeks since our last release, not the least of which was the opening of our physical bookshop at 18 Bridge St., Brooklyn, NY.  If you missed the stories on Ars Technica, Engadget, BoingBoing, or about a dozen other places, then let us be the first to tell you that the opening was a great success.  We're there (at least) noon to seven, Wednesday to Sunday, and we'd love to see each and every one of you stop by.
