AN INTERVIEW WITH CHARLES STROSS, Hugo and Locus and Prometheus Award winning author and science-fiction visionary. We grill him about the future of our world! His perspective is very distinctive indeed. Don't miss out.
@jessie is a lover of #languages and helps run #CommonVoice, @mozilla 's open #voice#data set, which now supports over 100 languages. She also teaches #WebDev and loves #hiking. She's awesome you should follow her 🇬🇧
That's all for now, please do share your own lists so we can create deeper connections, and a tightly-connected community here
I'm reminded here of @maryrobinette's short story - "Red Rockets" - "She built something better than fireworks. She built community."
Omg I hope so. I loved #Westworld so much and was heartbroken when it was cancelled. Also dying to see something freaking original and not a reboot or a spandex superhero flick for once.
Not all time-travel movies are created equal. Some are entertaining but scientifically suspect; others sacrifice storytelling in the interests of accuracy. For @arstechnica@JenLucPiquant and @seanmcarroll ranked 20 movies for both entertainment value and logic. Which do you reckon came out on top? Tell us in the comments if you agree.
Just finished "A Psalm for the Wild Built" by Becky Chambers. What a lovely book! Unique premise, beautiful writing, and an inspiring vision of a #Solarpunk world. It poses deep question that will sit with you long after you read it. I can't recommend it highly enough.
On a personal level, I've been working through questions about my vocation, and this book really went deeply to that place I've been at for the past few years.
You're all going to love the #space battles in my upcoming big-budget #scifi#movie. Completely soundless! Beam weapons are targeted by computers, fire continuously for several minutes, are invisible to outside view, and never miss! Protective fields don't exist! Hull punctures cause explosive decompression and the immediate death of the entire crew!
Kommt es mir nur so vor oder gibt es zwischen den #SciFi Fernsehserien "The Expanse" und "Space 2063" (orig. "Space: Above and Beyond") von 1995 ästhetische Ähnlichkeiten? Auch bei den Charaktären kommt mir einige vertraut vor. Z.B. Amos Burton oder Bobbie Draper.
Entweder sind die Charaktere und Bestandteile der Welt von The Expanse einfach nur sehr generisch oder ich bilde mir das ein?
🌌 On this day in 1978 the very first episode of the very first version of Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy went out on Radio 4. We can't tell you how proud that makes us.
Here's a lovely programme about Douglas and his creation, presented by his friend John Lloyd, that went out on the 40th anniversary.
I'm finally watching the Foundation series on AppleTV. I'm really enjoying it. Although I suck at reading fiction its making me want to read the books. However the CW is that the series is not much like the books. So I wonder how much I'd actually enjoy them. #Foundation#scifi#fiction#IsaacAsimov
There are some awesome illustrations in the 1890 sci-fi novel "Le Vingtième siècle. La vie électrique" ("The Twentieth Century. The Electric Life") by Albert Robida. The novel is in French, so I’ve just used Google to translate a few snippets. But the illustrations are killer.
First is the cover, which has a pretty chill steampunk vibe.
Working on the space shooter taught me some new tricks with particle effects. So I quickly updated the antimatter engine plume in Cosmic Ocean. It looks and behaves a lot better.
I've been rewatching #Patlabor and I've come to realize that it's not really that well known. It's truly a unique mix: a hard sci-fi take on giant robots, gorgeous animation, lighthearted humor but also social critique, and a diverse and relatable set of characters, including several female ones that are neither stereotyped nor objectified. 🧵 1/10 #anime#retroanime#scifi
There are some fun hidden details in Fringe. For instance, in the parallel universe of the series, when the Observers come out of the movie theatre after having watched Back to the Future, Eric Stoltz is listed as the main actor (episode 2x15).
Stoltz was in fact initially cast as Marty McFly, and they recorded several scenes with him before he was replaced by Michael J. Fox. Apparently, that didn't happen in the parallel universe 😁
Hello new followers! I know that many of you found me because of the birthday posts and cover art. I have been writing religiously about the texts-- published primarily between 1945-1985 -- on my fanzine website for more than a decade: https://sciencefictionruminations.com/
I'm an obsessive reader and writer of whim. I've conducted review series on diverse topics from Native American SF authors to generation ships.
