leapingwoman, @bookstodon Just finished Some Desperate Glory by Emily Tesh, as I work my way through the Hugo Award finalists. It's fantastic! #bookstodon #ScienceFictionStudies #scifi #Hugo2024
If, like me, you also played the demo, you'll be pleased to know that Synergy's early access adds many more buildings, vegetation, exploration, and decorations. I was surprised to see just how big the research trees had become, with eight branches and around 60 different aspects to research, including new buildings, ways to...

I watched it in theaters yesterday and enjoyed it! Beautiful post-apocalyptic imagery, decent writing, great digital graphics, great story boarding. I’m always excited for sci fi epics and this scratched that itch....

Just how long will we have to wait to meet the San-Ti? '3 Body Problem' is jumping to the future in Season 2 and maybe Season 3. But how long will that take in real life?

1982 was a blockbuster year for SF movies, but there's never been a movie quite like Tron—let's discuss!

SFRuminations, Everyone wants to remake the good stuff... what about remakes of the truly awful shows with fantastic potential in their ideas?
My suggestion: a modern version of Ark II (1976) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0127989/?ref_=ls_t_19
"Three young scientists travel around the country in the 25th century after the world has been ravaged by pollution. In their hi-tech RV (called Ark II), they study the land and help out those in need."
Is that not a fantastic premise?
#scifi #sciencefiction #TV #show #history
SFRuminations, You'd have a devilish conundrum at the heart of the show with the occupants of the hi-tech transportation device living easy lives in comparison to the wreckage around them. You'd have a Star Trek-filled landscape of tough moral decisions. You would also have modern relevance with a world in which we have NOT been good stewards and our youth have to take charge.
Food for thought! :)
foolishowl, @nyrath @SFRuminations That's the episode I remember the most.
In retrospect it was astonishing that there was a TV show for kids with a post-apocalyptic premise. On top of that, the post-apocalyptic fiction we were getting, just a few years later, often favored rebuilding the world of capitalist economic progress, just with a few reforms.
Ark II in general, and that episode in particular, directly questioned what we understand progress to mean.
razumasu,
nyrath, The Crucible of Time by John Brunner. Because of the top notch world building. And because I am a fan of the Connections history of science series by James Burke.
RJB_Mallacore, New starship work in progress.
For a long time I have been a fan of the Corvette design from the game Independence War (I-War) box art. I finally decided to do a ship inspired by that design.
Enjoy.
nyrath, Great starship!
As a matter of historical interest (which has zero bearing on your design) the I-War ship has a circular profile because the outer edge is a circular particle accelerator feeding the particle beam weapon.
Feel free to totally ignore my compulsive pedantry
RJB_Mallacore, @nyrath Definitely good to know. It's been years since I played.
Still doesn't take away it gives the ship a very cool profile. 😎
RJB_Mallacore, Some Babylon 5 art to start your morning.
The First Ones.
Enjoy.
