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...

Granted, a lot of fantasy, but the Hugo award are for both. Any reactions?

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....

Gauging interest in having weekly discussion threads for Strange Planet. Star Trek SNW just finished so looking to add a series. Any other suggestions are more than welcome as well.

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:...

Premise:...

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?

OK, as a counter to my post about something you wanted to like but couldn’t get in to, what is something that you love and want to introduce to more people? (I nicknamed trying to get more people into your fandom as “fanpushing” a while back, hence the title)...

Premise:...

I think the Expanse and Cloud Atlas did it, are there any other good examples?

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...

New Worlds Science Fiction Magazine - New Worlds was a British science fiction magazine that began in 1936 as a fanzine called Novae Terrae. John Carnell, who became Novae Terrae’s editor in 1939, renamed it New Worlds that year. He was instrumental in turning it into a professional publication in 1946 and was the first editor...

Amazing Stories is an American science fiction magazine launched in April 1926 by Hugo Gernsback’s Experimenter Publishing. It was the first magazine devoted solely to science fiction. Science fiction stories had made regular appearances in other magazines, including some published by Gernsback, but Amazing helped define and...
