Long ago I was afflicted with a terrible predisposition to never say a word, and I honestly cannot understand why or how that happened. C’est la vie. But there is something about you which makes me wish I could speak like you do – I’ve watched you from afar and you really are the best person that I have met in my whole life. You possess the ability to make people listen to you without question, even if you don’t often use it. I almost want to be you. Does that make any sense? I bet it doesn’t. I’m just rambling on. I’m sorry. Anyway. I hope, when one day we meet again, you will listen to me, and pay attention. I do not have anyone else to whom I could say these things. You might not even be listening now. Then again, you do not have to listen if you do not want to. Who am I to make you do anything? I’m not, I’m nothing. But you – oh, you – why, I’d listen to you for hours. ... *** radio silence links: Amazon UK - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0007559240/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_0dWZwb0CSVATC Waterstones - https://www.waterstones.com/book/radio-silence/alice-oseman/9780007559244 for non-UK readers: The Book Depository - http://www.bookdepository.com/Radio-Silence-ALICE-OSEMAN/9780007559244 Goodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25322449-radio-silence my links: Twitter - https://twitter.com/AliceOseman Tumblr - http://chronicintrovert.tumblr.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aliceoseman/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aliceosemanauthor </video> <video> UNIVERSE CITY: Ep. 15 – c0mput3r m4g1c Description: this is an extract of episode 15. this is not a full episode.

On the Importance of the Magic in the Pipes Below Us Scroll down for transcript: ... A spot of computer magic. That’s really all it needs, friends. When you live in a city as big as this, how else are you to communicate, but by computer magic? The Governors recently repaired all the pipes – one of the few good things they’ve done for us recently. I swear I can feel something evil about them, but ignorance is bliss, I suppose. I’ve got contacts all over the place. More useful than friends, really. I have eyes and ears everywhere, I see and hear everything. I’m ready for whatever they’re going to throw at me. I know they’re going to throw something at me. I’ve seen it in my dreams and in my fortune mirror. I can see it from a mile away, from ten miles away. It’s coming. But I have computer magic on my side. I have my friends–– no, contacts. Way more valuable, old sport, I really am telling you. There’s magic under our feet, not just in our eyes. ... *** radio silence links: Amazon UK - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0007559240/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_0dWZwb0CSVATC Waterstones - https://www.waterstones.com/book/radio-silence/alice-oseman/9780007559244 for non-UK readers: The Book Depository - http://www.bookdepository.com/Radio-Silence-ALICE-OSEMAN/9780007559244 Goodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25322449-radio-silence my links: Twitter - https://twitter.com/AliceOseman Tumblr - http://chronicintrovert.tumblr.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aliceoseman/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aliceosemanauthor </video> <video> UNIVERSE CITY: Ep. 2 – skater boy Description: this is an extract of episode 2. this is not a full episode.

And of course, it’s useful to have someone around who has the use of his bare hands. I can’t tell you what a pain it is to have to keep these gloves on all the time. I’m still not sure why I asked for his help. I’ve survived for this long by myself. But since talking to you, I suppose... I suppose I’ve had a slight change of heart. If I’m to get out of here, I’m going to have to team up with some city folk every now and then. There are things in Universe City that you cannot possibly imagine out there in the real world, creeping around in the metallic dust. Monsters and demons and synthetic abominations. Every day you hear of the latest fatality – some poor loner wandering back from a lecture, a tired geek in the back corner of the library, a miserable young girl alone in her bed. And this is what I’m getting at, old sport: I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s impossible to survive alone in Universe City. ... *** radio silence links: Amazon UK - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0007559240/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_0dWZwb0CSVATC Waterstones - https://www.waterstones.com/book/radio-silence/alice-oseman/9780007559244 for non-UK readers: The Book Depository - http://www.bookdepository.com/Radio-Silence-ALICE-OSEMAN/9780007559244 Goodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25322449-radio-silence my links: Twitter - https://twitter.com/AliceOseman Tumblr - http://chronicintrovert.tumblr.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aliceoseman/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aliceosemanauthor </video> <video> UNIVERSE CITY: Ep. 126 – ghost school Description: this is an extract of episode 126. this is not a full episode.

Do you remember how the rabbits glared as we drove down the road? Jealous, maybe, or scared. I was always behind her waiting for the window to drop. The Latin name for the fox is Vulpes vulpes. You always thought that sounded nice. I’m so angry about these ghost school problems. ‘Problems’ feels like an overstate- ment. Are you gonna go smoke your little cigarettes while you lean out of the window under the stars? You were always brave enough to get burned in the Fire. I wonder if you regret your obsession with Bukowski. I regret it and it wasn’t even me who had it. At least you were careless enough to admit that you were obsessed with something. I only say horrible things because I feel guilty. I don’t want anything to do with this any more, I hate people telling me what I have to do. Why should I have to go just because everyone’s telling me to? My m-mother? Nobody should be able to make my decisions for me. I’m here now and I’m waiting and it’s going to happen. Was there even any choice involved? Do I sound like I care about school? I don’t remember it happening. I don’t remember anything I’ve done, or why. Everything’s very confused. Everything’s better under the stars, I suppose.

Cyborg attack (again) Scroll down for transcript: ... I hid for forty-seven minutes exactly – I had my moonometer with me – in the telephone box by the power station on Tomsby Street. Nobody thinks to look for anyone there. Everyone knows the box is haunted. I don’t want to talk about what I saw. While I was hiding and waiting, I was also thinking and deciding. Was I going to let the cyborg chase me forever? Was I going to have to turn my back every two minutes to check for those marble eyes and spitting circuits? No. That’s no way to live. Not even in the vicious, cruel barricades of the City of the Universe. I can take a little beating now and then, old sport, believe me. I’ve been in this City for as long as I can remember, it seems. This hardly qualifies as a distress call any more – by gods, if anyone was listening, I would have heard from you by now. I can take a little beating now and then. I’m a tough one. I’m a star. I’m steel-chested and diamond-eyed. Cyborgs live and then they break, but I’ll never break. Even when my bone dust drifts over the City walls, I’ll be living and I’ll be flying, and I will wave and laugh. ... *** radio silence links: Amazon UK - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0007559240/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_0dWZwb0CSVATC Waterstones - https://www.waterstones.com/book/radio-silence/alice-oseman/9780007559244 for non-UK readers: The Book Depository - http://www.bookdepository.com/Radio-Silence-ALICE-OSEMAN/9780007559244 Goodreads - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25322449-radio-silence my links: Twitter - https://twitter.com/AliceOseman Tumblr - http://chronicintrovert.tumblr.com/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/aliceoseman/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aliceosemanauthor </video> <video> UNIVERSE CITY: Ep. 1 - dark blue Description: this is an extract of episode 1. this is not a full episode.

In the end I’m still only ever looking where you’ve looked, I’m only ever walking where you’ve walked, I’m in your dark blue shadow and you never seem to turn around to find me there.

How can we be together here, now, when you are so far away? When you are so far ago? I’m shouting so loudly, but you never turn around to see me. Perhaps it is I who have already exploded.

I really, really lied. And I am sorry. I feel a bit like a BOT18 sometimes. Old and rusty, aching and sleepy. Wandering through the city, lost, circling, alone. No gears left in my heart, no code whirring in my brain. Just kinetic energy, being pushed gently onwards by other forces – sound, light, dust waves, the quakes. I’m as lost as ever, friends.
