So, yep, I admit that I perhaps take Trek too seriously, it has deep, deep hooks in me.

The ep with the trial and now TATAT... that is pure, pure Trek.

I hate that so much #ScienceFiction is dystopian. In fact, a lot of normal people see the two as one: it's a depressing view of things to come.

It does not have to be that way!

We need to dream dreams of a better world. And then make that world come true.

"Edie tilted her head to listen. It was catchy, full of bouncy rhythms. It made Edie think of sparkly outfits and dancing...
The name of the singer had been said so quickly, and besides that, all musicians gave themselves funny names. They’d done that even when Edie was young. But she’d put down her best guess and now she wouldn’t forget it."

Dunkle Materie und Dunkle Energie, gehören zu den Mysterien des Universums, die bis zum heutigen Tag nicht erklärt werden können, nicht so in der Science Fiction.
Ende 1999 startete ich mit der Arbeit an meiner #nebularserie und konstruierte eine fiktive Kosmologie, die sich genau auf dieses Phänomen bezieht, und darüber hinaus. Das war vor nunmehr 23 Jahren ...

Unrequested Movie Opinions, Pt. 001: Last night I reckoned that it was time to give Ken Russell's 1980 SF excursion ALTERED STATES a proper view (I saw it on a crappy B&W TV set in the 1980s and forgot 95% of the details). Yeah, it's got narrative quirks and Annoying Character problems, but it was far more reined-in and focused than I remembered. Revelation time: I had no idea that the late, great Jordan Cronenweth shot the film (two years prior to his work on BLADE RUNNER), and his stylistic flourishes are in full force. Solid, inky blacks, unexpected light sources, faces bathed in cathode blue. Rain. Mist. #1980s #AlteredStates #KenRussell #Movies #ScienceFiction

Bob Balaban helps William Hurt emerge from a sensory deprivation tank in the film ALTERED STATES (1980) in a sequence that was clearly inspirational to the STRANGER THINGS people.
Bob Balaban, John Larroquette, William Hurt and the incredibly-grating Charles Haid examine x-ray prints in the film ALTERED STATES (1980).

For this Sci-Friday, sit back and watch a scifi short movie with striking visuals – ‘Wayward Gods.’ In a futuristic cyberpunk Thailand, a lone warrior must battle both his own karma, and the forces of evil, without using violence. Happy Friday, we made it! 🙂

NEBULAR Sammelband XL1: Der Konterplan.
Der beste Einstieg in meine Science-Fiction-Serie. Nur als eBook und exklusiv im Amazon Kindle Shop erhältlich. Noch bis Ende des Sommers kostenlos lesen für Kindle Unlimited Abonnenten.

NEBULAR ist eine Science-Fiction-Serie, die dich in das Jahr 2113 versetzt.
Es ist eine Epoche, in der Nationalstaaten der Vergangenheit angehören. Vereint im Bund der Solaren Union steht die Menschheit vor ihrer letzten großen Herausforderung: der Erschließung des äußeren Sonnensystems.
Auf den fernen Monden der Gasriesen Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus und Neptun unterhält die Unionsflotte bereits wissenschaftliche Außenbasen. Privatunternehmen schürfen nach Rohstoffen und Großraumschiffe pendeln zwischen den inneren Planeten. Die Ursachen früherer zivilisatorischer Rückschläge, wie Kriege, Krankheiten und Armut, sind überwunden.
Rund zehn Milliarden Unionsbürger bevölkern die Erde, nochmals 250 Millionen Menschen siedeln in den wachsenden Kolonien auf dem Erdmond und Mars.
Der am weitesten von der Erde entfernte Außenposten liegt auf dem Neptunmond Triton. Es ist eine eiskalte Welt, auf der vorwiegend Wissenschaftler und Privatunternehmen ansässig sind. Zur Hauptaufgabe der Besatzung gehört, den Kuipergürtel, auch Außenring genannt, mit seinen zahlreichen Zwergplaneten zu erforschen.
Astrophysiker nutzen die Abgeschiedenheit des Himmelskörpers, um die Suche nach extraterrestrischem Leben voranzutreiben. Die Wissenschaftler des neuen SETI-Projekts untersuchen mit ihren Empfangsantennen die Nachbarsterne auf potenzielle Radiosignale fremder Zivilisationen. Insgesamt verrichten rund zweitausend Menschen ihren Dienst auf der Triton-Basis.
Die Eiswüsten auf dem Jupitermond Europa, die Staubstürme des Mars und die urweltlichen Kohlenwasserstoffmeere auf dem Saturnmond Titan haben Raumfahrer der Erde mit eigenen Augen gesehen, außerirdisches Leben fanden sie aber bisher nicht.
Eines der wichtigsten Ziele der Menschheit bleibt die friedliche Kontaktaufnahme mit fremden Zivilisationen im All. Unbewusst hoffen die meisten Wissenschaftler, dass diese Lebensformen uns ähnlich sind und eine Verständigung möglich ist. Bislang verlief die Suche erfolglos, was jedoch nicht ausschließt, dass sie in den unendlichen Weiten des Alls existieren und uns bereits beobachten.
Zu den Sternen! ⭐

Virgil Finlay served in the US Army during WWII and saw combat in the South West Pacific theater, but also created posters and illustrations for the Morale Services during his three years of service. This is one of those illustrations as it is signed, "Oahu, Hawaii 1945". His editor must have liked it because he commissioned Finlay’s friend and fine writer Catherine L. Moore to create a story based on it.

I neglected to cross-post my review of Aestus Book 2 over here on Calckey.

In summary this second book is excellent - if you loved Book 1, you'll love this (feels like one big book in two parts). And I very much loved Book 1.

It has been a month since I finished the two books and I keep thinking back over them in my head, they had such an impact - I have many more thoughts about the books that I should probably write another review!

I miss that world so much, I'm quite taken aback by how it got into my head - it's a rare experience for me to become this absorbed in a world.

I've read a lot of science fiction over the years - it's my favourite genre - and @szattwellauthor is easily one of the best I ever read. I really can't recommend her books highly enough.

I can't wait to read what she writes next.
