Watched it for the umpteenth time last night. 42 years old and as long as you're not watching the original theatrical release, it's a near perfect film. A pure masterclass.

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.

Do you know Stanislaw Lem, the fabulous Polish author?

He wrote several stories about and artificial intelligence (real one, not ).

Among many others, I love the hilarious "The Washing Machine Tragedy", as it highlights the relationship between , and .

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,

Finished rereading The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers.

Enjoyed it. And lots of it I didn’t remember. So it was like reading it anew. I rated it 5⭐️ before. Would do again.

Now on to the other three books in the Wayfarer Series which I own but haven’t read.

I’m watching 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. @bookstodon

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.
