We’ve just published our latest exObjects story, a witty and unusual tale in verse about family and how we might remember them. Read He’s Missed, But My Grandad Still Bats for England created by Frank Lloyd in Staffordshire.
exObjects will feature in a new book in 2027
Next year, the exObjects international collaboration will feature in a book written by Smita Tharoor, published by HarperCollins.
One book chapter will showcase the inspirations behind exObjects and some of the short stories already contributed to Artificial Silk’s web magazine from around the world.
In March 2026 Smita interviewed A.T. Boyle, creator of exObjects, for a podcast episode of ‘Stories Seldom Told’.
Artificial Silk plans to launch an exObjects podcast in 2027. Watch this space.
A translated poem and written by Smita was published in the Writing That Sings publication and Staffordshire festival in 2025.
In December 2024 short stories by eleven authors were published in an illustrated hardback book exObjects: the art of holding on, letting go. See two of the pages below…
