Pretty sure everyone here would enjoy this sci-fi book.

It’s like @balajis.eth’s Network State had a baby with Dark Matter and Ready Player One

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

anyone here also writing sci fi? 🛸

I first thought about this after reading “Stability”, by Sci-fi master Philip K. Dick.

Just finished the first three books of the Foundation trilogy!

For anyone who has watched the Apple TV series, the trilogy felt quite divergent. I’m pretty excited to dig into the other four books in the series.

I am listening to all of The Expanse on audiobooks again. This time in chronological order with the novellas. 

Hopefully by the time I’m finished the authors’ new series The Mercy of Gods will be out (August 6th). 

First up: Drive 
Narrated by the incomparable, Jefferson Mays.

Source is a love letter to so many of our influences in gaming and media, from fringe online RPGs to global hits like CSGO and GTA, media like cyberpunk, SAO/Solo Leveling and so many more.

This first szn will be a humble beginning, but it will be unique and special. The only limit on where it goes ultimately is the ceiling set by us, together.

But if you ask me, higher.

The smart ones are as smart as the Turing heat is willing to let ‘em get.

And now we’re onto the next series 🫡 

(Already read Foundation last year)

Well, I’ve officially read all of Frank Herbert’s Dune books! If I had to rank them, I’d say:

Dune, Heretics of Dune, Children of Dune, God Emperor of Dune, Dune Messiah, and Chapterhouse.

While I appreciated each book for what it was, I really loved the first book of each “series.”

- Well, the amount of total mass in our universe affects the rate of expansion, and therefore removing or adding mass to it might be the difference between the Heat Death or the Big Crunch. However..
