@Setok My original idea was to have a more discerning view but this was the way the conversation flowed and we ran with it… I probably actually prefer this more humorous version but still think there is also a conversation one could have about what counts (subjectively) as sf and why.
…we *did* agree that Doctor Who is a documentary though! : )
Finnconissa oli Tiina Raevaaran, Terhi Tarkiaisen ja Reetta Vuokko-Syrjäsen keskustelu ikuisesta elämästä.
Aloin lukea yhtä Hugo-ehdokasteosta Glasgow'n Worldconiin. Tai siis Em X. Liu on uusille kirjoittajille annettavan Astounding-palkinnon ehdokas. The Death I Gave Him käsittelee juurikin paneelikeskustelun aihetta - ja on Hamlet-tulkinta. Erittäin hyvä runsaat 60 sivua luettuani.
Suosittelen myös If Found, Return to Hell -pienoisromaania.
This isn't data — it isn't even really the plural of _anecdote_, for that matter — but based on my recent experiences at #finncon2024 I have a very strong hunch that queer-coded people are more likely to wear masks at conferences.
Not everyone does, of course. But I was definitely not the only one wearing one this time.
