Hello. I’m the new mod of ScienceFiction. I just wanted to introduce myself as you’ll be seeing my name a lot more around here. I also wanted to get some community input on a couple things....
It’s hard to get a legitimate take on this show due to Apple fans. The consensus that I got was that it was not anything like the books, might be missing the point. But the veteran actors and Emperor plotlines are great while the new actors and Foundation plotline are weak....
This is the first non-Revelation Space book by Alastair Reynolds that I have read, and I loved it! It started out very simple. As the story progressed, it increasingly became evident that something very weird was going on. There were subtle clues to pick up on and I found myself tearing through the book trying to put together...
Summary: Season finale. Gaal, Salvor, and Hari chart a new path forward on Ignis. Demerzel heads to Trantor, taking actions that will change Empire forever....
Hey, sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this but I have been hunting a novel that I read many years ago but I cannot remember the name. Here is what I remember:...
Sorry for running late on this one… Please drop some book club nominations for October (preferably not 1000 pages as we are getting started a little late)....
I’ve just finished A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge. It was amazing and coincidentally my two last books where children of time(1 and 2) and (as to not spoil the reveal) a certain book involving spiders/crabs that live in high pressure environment....
My personal top five Star Trek episodes from across the franchise. My opinions are not designed to be controversial, but in the past they’ve been molten hot in Trek groups. Numerous well regarded episodes that are the consensus tops don’t make my list, and in fact TNG is entirely absent....
I really enjoyed all three books. They managed to do the galactic empire thing without getting overly bogged down in politics, and character development was interesting. I thought Leckie did a good job of conveying an extended AI in multiple bodies, and a solitary form (avoiding spoilers)....
Summary: Dusk and Enjoiner Rue learn Demerzel’s origin and true purpose. Tellem’s plan for Gaal take a dark turn. On Terminus, Day confronts Dr. Seldon....
I saw a mention of the olfactory sense suppression medication in Strange New Worlds, and it made me wonder when the earliest version of this concept was written....
I’ve been told I need to read more sci fi by non-white authors and looking at my shelves I think it’s true and I want to try something new. But I realised I sadly couldn’t think of any authors off the top of my head! Can anyone recommend anything?
So finally got around to watching a recent movie that I won’t name since I am not sure if it was part of the marketing, but the premise was that there was an all powerful AI that was going to take over the world and it used a mixture of predictive reasoning, control of technology, and limited human agents who were given a...
This post contains the weekly episode discussion threads for currently airing series. Please comment if there are any other series you would like to see threads for....
I love Kim Stanley Robinson’s books, and am reading (in some case re-reading) his books in order. At some point, I’m going to get to Green Earth, but since it’s a reworking of the Science in the Capitol trilogy, I wanted to find out just how much it adds/leaves out/changes....
