Hearts and Minds: An Ambivalent Review of “Project Hail Mary”

'All the people emphasizing the scientific rigor of #ProjectHailMary , all those praising it as a work of #HardSF —I’d argue they’re cheapening the concept, at the very least.'

Peter Watts pastwi się nad "Projektem Hail Mary". A dokładniej nad odczytywaniem go jako hard SF.

And the 15-degree temperature drop that's supposed to be an extinction-level event. The last glacial maximum was about that.

Just... basic worldbuilding.

It's annoying me more than it should, probably. But this is supposed to be hard sci-fi, right? #ScienceFiction #HardSF #BookCritique

#DamienWalter predigt, dass auch sogenannter Realismus oder #HardSF eben ›nur‹ #Fantasy ist. Fantasy, Phantastik, ist der Grundmodus. Und das meiste, was Menschen damit machen, sind eben Märchen zum Traumeverarbeiten, Selbsttrost, Selbstanspornung oder Selbsttäuschung — von Täuschung, Trost, Ansporn anderer ganz zu schweigen.
In Echt sind nicht Statuen-Ruinen »Seht meine Werke, Mächt’ge, und erbebt!«, sondern Zone Rogue, KZ Dachau oder Tschernobyl. Leider.
