From a relative of mine, a book on sci-fi, engineering, and tech bros and the public missing the big picture.

Verneshot (Volcanology 🌋)
A verneshot is a hypothetical volcanic eruption event caused by the buildup of gas deep underneath a craton. Such an event may be forceful enough to launch an extreme amount of material from the crust and mantle into a sub-orbital trajectory, leading to significant further damage after the material crashes back down to the surface.

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.

Another book on the round!
"La Ultima Profecia de Julio Verne".
Looks like an essay about the Verne's occult side on his masterworks.
I hope to enjoy it! -

I'm a sci-fi fan but my tastes are strictly old school. I don't read anything written since the 90s. And not much written since the 60s, apart from some of the cyberpunk writers.
One of the first sci-fi novels I read was Arthur C. Clarke's The City and the Stars and I still regard it as one of the half dozen best sci-fi novels of all time.
Some writers I like -
