@@Aakashputtur yeah absolutely. Not including Hyperion. 1 The Book of the New Sun (2 books) 2 All Tomorrows 3 The three body problem series (including the redemption of time by a separate author) 4 Neuromancer 5 A fire upon the Deep I really like scifi and cosmic horror but the book of the new sun just has a way of gripping you and makes you not want to put it down. It has a lot of elements from different genres. How about you? What's your 5?
@@Staylecrate i don't read much but most of em are in local indian language so i'm sorry brother, btw i just searched "all tomorrows" on google just to research little bit about the author and the book but the images that came out really freaked me out what are those creature Lol bro u can't do this to me i work at a train station as a data entry operator in a remote town i live alone😂 anyway i will check " a fire upon the deep" sounds interesting
@@Aakashputtur lol. Oh sorry, an anthropologist wrote it. It's about humans millions of years in the future. After colonizing mars and then the rest of the galaxy. They encounter an extremely intelligent species that thinks of us as, well, nothing. They have a mission to change life in the universe. So they invade all the different worlds, rewrite our genetic code, and change us into all sorts of twisted creatures. If you resist them they would take almost a sick pleasure in letting you keep your intellect but could only do something like filter their waste. Their is a second book story advances millions of years showing how we evolve further from these forms. Aside from the crazy art it's amazing to think about.
The cruciform: I got good news and bad news--- The good news i can make you virtually invulnerable and immortal The bad news, in time you will the next Corky Thatcher in the reboot of Life Goes On 🤣
@@midwintersnight such amazing stories. If you haven't yet check out Gene Wolfe's "The book of the new sun". It's another masterpiece of sci-fi fantasy that is a 4 book series and then a 5th book was written even though the story appeared to be over he decided to write the 5th book that masterfully tied it all together (or so I'm told). I'm waiting for the book store I go to, to get it from their warehouse. I'm not gunna lie, it's a tough read. And there are things you think you missed because of how it tends to jump around through the main character's life. But most things get resolved and something's are actual mysteries that people are still discussing 40 some years later. If you have read it let me know of anything in the same wheel house as it and the Hyperion Cantos. Also check out "the sparrow". Really cool
So he was just kind of a dick head, right? I mean you take children who have been taught to follow your instructions to the letter and tell them it's a war game pitting them against each other and then when they behave in a manner that’s appropriate relative to their instruction you use this as evidence of the inherent evil in humans.
Some of our favorites are "Utopia" by Thomas More, "Red Star" by Alexander Bogdanov, and "Herland" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Check out the podcast for in-depth conversations on each of them!
