Saw the great man himself Denis Villeneuve at TIFF yesterday! It was a special double-feature of Dune & Dune Part 2, he addressed the crowd at the beginning and did a Q&A post. BladeRunner 2049 got a mention, nothing about Arrival (maybe my fave of his films). He was also very tight-lipped on Dune Messiah, and didn't even mention Rendezvous With Rama. It's like the best time to be a sci-fi fan right now and I'm kind of pumped.

Part 2 of the Katabasis sci-fi just came out! Curious to hear people's thoughts :)

*Tiaa makes a big mistake in the cryo-hangar, Bryan Johnson is attacked by adrenochrome junkies, and the Doge is reborn. Tiaa is safe for now...*

Katabasis is a crypto sci-fi exploring themes of cryogenic freezing, disassociative states and network states.

Yo, future-shapers! We just dropped our first FSC Guide!

Curious about Hard Science Fiction, Backcasting, and how we're using them for real projects like a new city near Kyiv?

Why are first person accounts such a huge narrative trope in sci-fi works?

Blindsight
Book · 2006 · ★★★★☆

Listened to the audiobook. Got sucked in immediately. It's a philosophical exploration of different hypothetical modes of cognition. And the characters have a lot more meat to them than I was expecting. Highly recommend to anybody into hard scifi.

Also, it has space vampires

Where there other non-human and non-AI live forms in the Hyperion Cantos?

I remember the human descendants modified with nano technology and the Shrike

Just finished listening to (reading with my ears) Children of Memory today. Super solid entry into the trilogy, although it doesn't really feel like a finale with a pretty open ended conclusion. I thought it had the most solid character exploration of the three books in the series.

The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect by Roger Williams

Short novella written by an amateur that really stuck with me. Warning: graphic and kinda fucked up at times
