@awenspark@bookstodon Tender is the Flesh was a book that absolutely wrecked my mental well-being for a week or two, but also I went out of my way to recommend to others after reading.
Loved to be horrified by it. Still think about that experience years later.
In a race for domination, the Continental Alliance's ambition leads to the uninhibited exploitation of planet Solstice-5. As they construct unstoppable autonomous factories, the Alliance's insatiable quest for power leaves behind a forsaken workforce in a world spiraling out of control. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cntb3wcZdTw
"All the same, I agree with my reviewer that I don’t write hard science fiction. Maybe I write easy science fiction. Or maybe the hard stuff’s inside, hidden — like bones, as opposed to an exoskeleton.…"
Searching for a new series to watch. Prefer #SciFi - as long as it's not really horror, or zombies, or werewolves & vampires, or superheroes masquerading as scifi.
But decent action or fantasy stuff will work. preferably with multiple seasons to binge while waiting for new content to recover post strikes.
Recently enjoyed: Person of Interest. The Lazarus Project. Reservation Dogs. The Winter King. The Wheel of Time. Ahsoka. See. Foundation. The Peripheral. Moonhaven. The Expanse. His Dark Materials.
The seventeenth chapter of my hard sci-fi space opera is released! The crew escapes the glubb-enn crossfire, and enters a system property of the Yectkogg corporate empire. The consequences of seeking help from rabid capitalists ensue.
This really is the last of this spurt of releases. We are going back to weekly releases (on Saturdays). The spam is over. Sorry yall for hammering the hashtags.

Gdy za parę tygodni będę podsumowywał mój czytelniczy rok 2023, to czuję, że "Płomień" będzie walczył tam o laury w dwóch kategoriach - fantastyki (lub science-fiction) i zakończenia. Nie dziwię się, że ta powieść dostała najważniejszą polską nagrodę fantastyczną w 2022 roku, bo jest naprawdę dobra, a autorka, niczym wytrawna bokserka, wyczekuje czytelnika, zasypując go różnymi pytaniami w finale. Nie powiem, musiałem się trochę otrząsnąć.
