ChrisMayLA6, This week I've been mainly reading, no. 153.
Each of Emma Newman's Planetfall quartet explores a different aspect of the same overarching story of religious driven intergalactic migration. In Atlas Alone (2019), the fourth story centres on an elite gamer & their attempt to uncover & then take revenge for a crime against humanity. To say much more would ruin the plot for you, but as with the others, this is great, fascinating sci-fi, which has a great payoff at the end.
NeadReport, @firefly @fskornia @TimWardCam @ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon Interesting you quote the very thing you denounce.
firefly, @fskornia @TimWardCam @ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon
What thing is being denounced? Specifically, and exactly, what is being denounced?
Are you conflating the Bible with Christianity? The twain shall never meet.
More than half of the Bible was written and in circulation 900-1500 years before the existence of Christianity.
If you read the Bible without Christian blinders on, it is plain that the Bible condemns Christianity and all other religions as idolatry. Rather the Bible authors call men to worship God in spirit and truth without regard to a priesthood or place.
This dramatization shows a recorded event from the Bible demonstrating what Jesus taught about the end of religion:

mina, Do you know Stanislaw Lem, the fabulous Polish #SciFi author?
He wrote several stories about #robots and artificial intelligence (real one, not #ai).
Among many others, I love the hilarious "The Washing Machine Tragedy", as it highlights the relationship between #technology, #capitalism and #law.
Written in 1963, it foreshadows prophetically many of current developments.
In the story, two corporations begin to "enhance" their washing machines with all kind of "smart" tech to the point,

The resignations and disciplinary actions come after it was revealed that certain authors and books—including R.F. Kuang's hit novel Babel—had been inexplicably deemed not eligible for the Hugo at Worldcon 2023 in Chengdu, China.

kbob, @metin How much of this image did you have in your head when you started, and how much did you discover as you created it?
metin, @kbob I had the global shapes in mind: main part, propellers / fans at the sides, two "legs" / "arms" with guns, and the lens. The rest of the shapes and details were conceived as I went along.
franksting, I’m watching #3bodyproblem and reading EE Doc Smith’s Skylark at the same time. And the similarities are striking, even if the timescales are a less realistic in the century old books. #scifi #bookstodon @bookstodon
Jennifer, Who has watched the Three Body Problem on Netflix? I think I'm going to start it this weekend. I was extremely skeptical about it because of how badly the producers screwed up Game of Thrones, but heard it's good. Probably because they didn't have to write any original content 😂 I tried the Chinese version, and it's great, but I had a really hard time keeping up with the subtitles. #ThreeBodyProblem #SciFi
andycarolan, @Jennifer I enjoyed it, but I'm not telling you anything more, because spoilers lol.
