Apologies for the slightly off-topic post…

It’s not looking good, folks…

George R R Martin confirms he hasn’t written anything for the 2 remaining A Song Of Ice And Fire books since 2022.

He wishes that they were finished.

The last published book in the series, A Dance With Dragons, was published in July 2011, now 13 years ago.

Obligatory song that’s now 12 years old… https://youtu.be/j7lp3RhzfgI

    Also, GRRM previously said he would never allow it to be finished by anyone else

    If I remembered correctly, Jordan had also expressed similar thoughts, look how that turned out.

          Or just drill a few holes in it

          That isn’t always as effective as you’d think, especially with SSDs…

          Holey SSDs, Batman!

          microwave them for 10 minutes

          Yeah, that’d probably do it (though I’m not sure what it’d do to your microwave.

          Thermite is guaranteed to destroy your data (and probably the floor, or the floor and the table if you’re dumb enough to do it on a table, and anything too close to your data… but that’s besides the point, the data will be unrecoverable, that’s the point).
