dear fedi #sciencefiction readers, i am looking for a next #book. to give you an idea what i might be looking for: i've just finished #peterwatts #rifters trilogy and i enjoyed it. my favorite piece of all time is #gregegan #permutationcity (it's still haunting me after all those years). at the other hand, i could not finish #murderbot. please feel free to throw at me anything, just don't send me to check goodreads! (sorry for tag spam, i am in a tight spot 😅)

Honestly the #Hulu Era of #Futurama has been kind of #meh for me. There have really only been two episodes I really enjoyed. "I Know what you did next Xmas" and "All the Way Down" - Season ending was probably the strongest story for me personally.
I've seen it compared to a few other SCI-FI works - That honestly I need to read. #PermutationCity being one of those.
I got "The Thirteenth Floor" vibes only w/o the murder mystery.

Sooo... as it was getting near the end of S11E10 of #Futurama (All The Way Down), I thought... they're not, are they?

And, yep, they did. They copied one of the plot points from @gregeganSF #GregEgan's #PermutationCity which came out in 1994.

So, my theory that #ScienceFiction moves from hardcore to mainstream in around thirty years is, once again, VINDICATED!

They'll rue the day they expelled me from the academy, those CLAMS!

I do love sex and I am a perv... but...

If I fancy someone now, part of me is always thinking:

"Could we watch #HACF together?"

"Would they cry at the right bits of It's A Wonderful Life?"

"Could they imagine being an interstellar probe coasting for tens of thousands of years between systems, dreaming of being a human being reading this post on Mastodon?"
