  1. Chapter 7 - "Caliban"

    Mira Candor, fresh from his new assignment from Conn Teel decides to capture a Teel militia officer, in contravention of Teel's wishes. But following someone through the Mennan City streets is not so easy when the pollution is so deadly.

  2. I'm almost at the end of Hyperion by Dan Simmons and I learned a new term that could replace "cyberpunk": cyberpuke! 😀

    So far the Scholar's story was the most emotional and sad of them all.

    The Poet's story was very well written and intriguing, even if I don't quite like the attitude of Martin Silenus when he interacts with other pilgrims.

    The Detective's story is definitively the most "cyberpukish" one so far, I still have a few pages left on this story though.

  5. Just started watching Lexx.

    Wildly different sci-fi. I like it.

    It's disturbing how short the distance is from our current real situation to the dark kind of dystopia that this show is set in.

    790 might be my favorite character tho (that right, angel breath).

  7. Looking Forward this Fall | By Stephen Theberge | Courtesy of the PWD Media Co-Op

    What happens when a life lived with blindness becomes the inspiration for science fiction?

    Four novels follow Andre, a visually impaired man, across alien worlds, time travel, grief and love.

    The struggle for independence. The complexity of relationships. The frustration of barriers that other people may not even notice.

  10. "Ossen wants a body?"

    Reggie was sure he hadn't heard Author correctly.

    _/That's correct - a robot body in my world/_

    Reggie and his colleagues were self-aware fictional characters in stories originally written by Dominic Howell. Ossen was an AI chatbot written by one of those characters, Reggie. Ossen now wanted to visit Dominic's world.

    "How do you feel about that, Author?" Reggie asked.

    _/Truthfully, my head hurts/_

    "You also said Ossen built an interface for this?" Maggie asked.

    _/Yes/_

    "Wait - could we use that same interface to visit your world, too?" Jacob asked excitedly.

    Ossen piped up.

    >Yes, it should work just as well for you

    You could hear a pin drop.

    Reggie broke the silence first. "We could all go? Now MY head hurts."

  12. Yesterday, I just quickly wanted to check out the Master of Orion game. The one that came out some years ago and is narrated by Worf. Suddenly it was 2 am. Damn

    But I’m not sure if the series has ever gotten better than MoO2. I can see why they added the hyperlanes, since at one point a huge fleet of Death Stars was always setting course for your home planet.

    I do think it kinda regressed in its style, since a lot of it feels more satirical and comical in comparison to MoO2.

  13. I'm watching Babylon 5 for the third time. Meager words can't describe my fondess for this show. I enjoy it more than a Narn enjoys fresh spoo.
