YouTube video by SciFiScavenger I Read the Most Disturbing Cyberpunk Novel of the 90s!

Equal parts provocative, compelling, strange, baroque and challenging. Took me all week to wade through this dark vision, but it was worth it. I think. Check it out 👀! 🪐📚💙 #scifibooks #sciencefiction #booktube #cyberpunk

Alas Babylon by Pat Frank.

Finally finished the last of November's reading which was quite hard going in mostly a good way. I need a bit of a palate cleanser, something light and airy. Nuclear armageddon should do the trick I reckon. 🪐📚💙 #scifibooks #sciencefiction #nowreading

Title caption of the BBC4 documentary ‘John Wyndham - The Invisible Man of Science Fiction’. Title is overlayed on a set representing John Wyndham’s writing desk.

Close-up of writer John Wyndham from a 1960 television interview.

Given this week‘s reading of ‘The Midwich Cuckoos‘, I thought it would be timely to revisit the 2005 documentary ‘John Wyndham: The Invisible Man of Science Fiction’. I get something new out of each revisit, & it’s always a bonus to see a clip of that rare 1960 interview with the great man himself.

A series of fatal accidents on Mars make a stranded prison laborer wonder if the company _was_ cutting costs, or _is_ cutting costs.

Okay. I have this #scifibook series that #scifireaders have kind of liked. It’s a bit like The Expanse and Firefly with a large splash of Aliens (the movie) action. My friend Cory @flameinc.bsky.social or @tailwindprojects.bsky.social is offering a chance of the first 3 books for zero cost! #scifi

The official publication date is still next Tuesday, but there’s a good explanation for the ebook being out earlier, which I’ve now forgotten. Anyway, it’s e-available now.

I'll do my very best!

I think, on reflection, my considered view is...fuck that shit! 😀 📚📚📚📚📚📚📚

Wildlife on the Planet Furaha | The Crowood Press On the planet Furaha, Gert van Dijk creates a biosphere on a new world along with its solar system. Evolution on Furaha found solutions to life’s problems that remained unused on Earth. There are in-d...

For those who, like me, love speculative and alien evolution, there's a remarkable new book out, "Wildlife on the Planet Furaha" by Gert van Dijk. www.crowood.com/book/wildlif...

There is a school of thought that says this story paves the way for humanity’s destiny in the stars, for empire, leading eventually to Foundation.

"Skirmish on a Summer Morning" (1976). A novelette original to this volume and the longest story here. A so-so hybrid of SF and the Western, which uses the Arizona setting favoured by Elmore Leonard. Diverting but not special.

Alaknanda: JWST discovers massive grand-design spiral galaxy from the universe's infancy Indian astronomers using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have discovered a stunning grand-design spiral galaxy that remarkably resembles our Milky Way, yet it existed when the Universe wa...

'Somehow, this galaxy managed to pull together ten billion solar masses of stars and organise them into a beautiful spiral disk in just a few hundred million years. That's extraordinarily fast by cosmic standards, and it compels astronomers to rethink how galaxies form.'

I think Ash will be one for quiet days in the Xmas holidays.

Wow! The pen really can be mightier than … well … anything.

Words for Worlds - Issue 109 Hello everyone, and welcome to another issue of Words for Worlds - and welcome to the new folks who’ve subscribed in the wake of “The Secret History of Indian Science Fiction.”

It’s the first Monday of December, so here’s a new issue of Words for Worlds, the F-SF newsletter with an Indian slant.

feat. reading Patti Smith, the Alastair Reynolds backlist, new writing on anti-Muslim tropes in modern SFF media, and more.

If you're a fan of Ann Leckie and/or Arkady Martine (and why wouldn't you be), and/or discussions of empire and imperialism in science fiction, let me point you towards this conversation between the two on that very topic:

So long as it doesn't have two authors.

Heads up: As pointed out by @nickpheas.bsky.social, M.R. Carey's INFINITY GATE is on UK/IE sale for £0.99, or a bit over €1. I got 10 copies for giveaway, although I don't do UK/IE giveaway as regularly. Mainly 'cause they are not taken up very quickly.

But this is a *great SF book*. I love it.
