sciencefiction

The style is reminiscent of 1970s science fiction, with gargantuan machines over strange alien worlds. Details are fantastic, as is the sense of scale.

I see it’s based on the book by Hugh Howey, who also did the Silo series which I really enjoyed the TV adaptation of. I’m wondering if it’s any good as I don’t have a lot of time for starting too many TV shows at the moment.

I was playing with Bard last night and gave it a list of books I’ve read and enjoyed recently, and asked it to recommend other books I might enjoy....

We saw VERY few nominations for books in December, and I know everyone is very busy with the season. We’ll open nominations for January at the end of the month so be thinking about it....

I finished it just now and thought it was really interesting. I’d be interested to hear people’s interpretation of the ending.

I know this is a busy month for a lot of us. So far we only have 2 nominations for the book club and one of them is mine. It seems like December might not be a great month for the book club. If we don’t get a few more nominations I am going to cancel for December and push whatever nominations we get into nominations for...

The time has come, friends, to nominate more reading for December! This post will collect nominations for the next few days (I’m thinking into the weekend) and then we’ll have us a vote. Please don’t hesitate to talk about why you want to share your pick and why you think it will be a good item for discussion....

This bundle of John Scalzi’s books looks too good to be true, and I’m really lucky, having read nothing yet from him. Now I don’t know where to start!...

Which sci-fi titles (movies, books) do you consider comforting, cozy, something you come back to from time to time? For me, I guess it is The Matrix. Still holds up to this day, gets better with every re-watch, and gives me a sense of peace when I need it.

I am enjoying this series so much. We are only 2 episodes in and it’s just so creative. Only watching one a week as I understand it’s sort of depressing but it is gorgeous.

I’m trying to find good sources for new* scifi content. Google is being extremely unhelpful at finding blogs and I know there have to be a few out there. I’m really focused on games but at this point I would be interested in any writer who covers science fiction content....

No really, these books are what you get if you answer the question “What if after the Mist came, the surviving humans rebuilt a Steampunk civilization with magic airships and uplifted cats?”...

As a Sci-Fi fan I’ve been a huge fan of shows like Battlestar Galactica, The Expanse, Terminator: TSCC, Star Trek, etc. I keep hearing Babylon 5 is awesome....

Netflix’s 3 Body Problem has a new release date and a promising teaser clip to ease the wait.

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...

Luna: New Moon by Ian McDonald...

Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer...

The whole “bovine” joke was hilarious on one hand and a little horrifying on the other. It got me thinking: how would I feel if an animal I was about to consume came up to me enthusiastically conveying its consent for being eaten? I will be horrified, just like Arthur! But why?...
