Reality is that which refuses to go away when I stop believing in it.

Another weekend and another charity shop haul. Three more Arthur C Clarke books: "The Deep Range"; "Childhood's End"; and "The Fountains of Paradise". Also "The Man in the High Castle" by Phillip K Dick. Finally I picked up “The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes” by Arthur Conan Doyle. All in it cost me £11 which I think is pretty good going. #bookhaul #charityshop #arthurcclarke #philipkdick #arthurconandoyle #books #bookstodon

With a Replicant uprising serving as the plot, Blade Runner 2099 will air on Amazon Prime Video. It premieres on November 25, 2026.

Amazon will be releasing all right episodes at once. Hopefully it'll be a binge worthy chapter in the Blade Runner universe.

#NowWatching : #TotalRecall (1990)

This morning I read the #PhilipKDick story ("We Can Remember It For You Wholesale"), so now I've gotta watch the movie. 😂

Plus, anything from 1990 is guaranteed to have some peak #Schwarzenegger , and for #Verhoeven , it sits between #Robocop and #StarshipTroopers , so I'm expecting a lot from him as well.

Ewan McGregor, Léa Seydoux – „Zoe“ (2028)

Ein Film, der inzwischen viel zu unschuldig wirkt und von der Technologie förmlich abgehängt wurde. Denn was 2018 noch wie eine Zukunftsvision aussah, ist aus der Perspektive von heute höchstens eine handzahme Simulation. Der Plot: Ein Programmierer verliebt sich in eine KI – in einer keimfreien, futuristischen Umgebung, die stark nach Silicon Valley aussieht, auch wenn der Ort nie benannt wird. Ein Start-up, das nicht Autos oder Apps, sondern Liebe verkauft. Was haben die sich nur dabei gedacht? (ARD)

"Curiosity’s night would not be spent entirely dreaming of whatever rovers dream, but rather conducting a lengthy APXS analysis of the atmosphere."

... a post with a definite Philip K. Dick's vibe!

So many cool references in this article. The Matrix, Inception, Dream Scenario, Minority Report, the psychedelic cults of California... If only we had a simple category label to tie all these things together. 🤔

As is clearly the case with #cyberpunk, one has to remember that every cool piece of #dreampunk tech is bound to be used against us by our capitalist overlords, but it may still have value if treated with due caution. And that includes psychoactive chemicals, which were (and I assume continue to be) a major part of government-funded mind control but also fueled the countercultural revolution of the 1960s.

Films that made me
N°3 BLADE RUNNER by Ridley Scott
or the birth of Dark Sci-Fi.
A film ahead of its time, from home automation to transhumanism. It's a film that questions our times more than ever: the human being, from its definitions to its limits. A metaphysical question that very precisely takes the form of a sceptical interrogation. What makes us human?
