This was my first thought. The TV adaptation at least. I’ve watch the first few episodes a few times and never feel the draw to keep going. Just kind of forget I started.

Yeah this is where I’m at. Not part of my casual reading. Just part of my internet search if I’m after something specific. Basically just a database now.

TBH that’s Facebook for me as well. Just go there occasionally for very specific reasons. But not to spend time. Which is a shame, as I have a lot of good friends there. But Meta had to go and fuck that place up as well.

Not only that, but there’s a lot of duplication of topics across different magazines. If you could “multibin” them into a meta magazine, that would be really helpful.

I’m a big fan of Murderbot! Short and fun reads.

I’ve never read any Banks. How would you compare him to Alastair Reynolds? I’m a HUGE Reynolds fan, especially stuff like House of Suns and Pushing Ice.

I’m looking for some new epic space opera to read :)

I’m a big Douglas Adams fan. Enjoy!!

I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but many politicians. I think a large fraction are genuinely trying their best to make a difference (according to their values) and get constantly hit from all sides with any flaws/mistakes being amplified beyond reason.

There are also ones who should be locked up. But in general, this is a job I’d never want to have or put up with.

Agreed. And the series is somewhat a different angle of the same story (as described by Howey, who’s been heavily involved in the translation to screen). Highly recommended!

We’ve watched Severance, Mythic Quest, and a few others. But not that. Good to know, thanks!
