Recipes of Arkadia: Camilo’s Corn Bread

May 14, 2015

Food — growing it, preparing it, eating it — is a central part of life in the Arkadia space colony. Over the next few weeks I’m sharing recipes for some of the food mentioned in the book.

Baking is therapy for Camilo Molina. No wonder he thinks of cornbead as a vegetable.

Cover for The Department of What It (Really) Means to be Human by M. Darusha Wehm. A grey background with yellow text and line art of small, round pills.

The Department of What It (Really) Means to be Human

The Department of What It (Really) Means to be Human is told with a consistent gentleness, and generosity, that gives [its] philosophical questions room to breathe.
— Niall Harrison, LOCUS February 2026

A near-future real-life society transitions to a post-capitalist, post-climate change reality.

The Department Of What It (Really) Means To Be Human is a thoughtful, optimistic novel set in a near-future Aotearoa New Zealand where an investigator navigates a newly postcapitalist world in their search for a missing artist.

When the world changed, Emerald Hutson closed the door on their old life. Now they’re a freelance investigator for the Grants and Stipends Office, augmenting basic income with cases that are both simple and easily resolved.
