James Cameron warns of Terminator-style apocalypse, anticipated long before his 1984 film. Sci-fi has history of predicting advances and their consequences. Jules Verne—flying machines, submersibles. HG Wells—atom bomb.

#WordWeavers July 29: "MC POV: Do you ride horseback or your world's equivalent?"
Sinóle sets the tea service on the table, smacks down into her seat, and starts "After studying your "horse", we are... not sure."
"Does it count if you get inside the horse?", Saki adds.
"And does it not count if you talk to the horse?"
Saki's eyes narrow as she rebuts, "They talk to their horses in stories."
"Well if stories count, all bets are off.", Sinóle says with a smarmy fry.
"What do they mean by "equivalent" anyways? About the only similarity between Tethyans and horses is when we walk on four." (1/2)

Scientists have found 'evidence' of advanced alien civilisations
No actual news. Just the ongoing search for Dyson spheres. Excess infrared radiation is the tipoff, with a handful of candidate sightings identified by Project Hephaistos. Real tipoff will be when a Dyson sphere is listed with Sotheby’s.

Sci-fi writer Charles Stross' dark take on Silicon Valley 'religion'
I teach that scripture and sci-fi share the lesson: playing God leads to trouble. Tech worship a Torment Nexus, a cautionary fiction made real by people who miss the point.

David Goyer (Dark Knight, Foundation) is building a new blockchain-based science-fiction universe called Emergence.
Fascinating mashup of blockchain, crowdsourcing, fan-fiction, and Snow Crash. Will a newcomer or a never-was really be able to circumvent Hollywood gatekeeping and join the big leagues?
