Unethical near-future Sci-Fi

AKA one of my favorite movie genres. Take science that's believable not too far from now and do something bad with it

Good Morning Smashbombers, any chance of an update on "packaged goods" being reviewable in the near future.... I'd love to put some ratings on bottles of wine, and candy.

The end (0 more)
I really enjoyed reading this book set in 'the near future'. The main character is a by-the-books government worker that's sent to investigate terror incidences in the city of Metropolis with an alcoholic AI. It kept me engaged the entire time, until the end. The end just fell flat for me. The ending is what knocked my rating down, sadly.
I still recommend this book for people that enjoy near future stories with a healthy dose of sci-fi.

Early 2000s sci-fi thriller, based on a story by Philip K Dick (aren't all the best ones? ), in which Tom Cruise plays the head of a pre-crime unit in the near future who finds himself accused of the future murder of a man he hasn't yet met.

(Re)watching this in 2026, it's fun playing 'which future prediction' (swipe screens being the most obvious!) came true!

Book Favorite

"Version Control is perhaps the strangest fictional work of appropriated voices and subjects. It’s set in a surreal near future — or several near futures — as well as in several pasts. Though issues of race play virtually no role in the stories, one character, an African-American physicist, recalls dropping out of a writing course because the professor thought he should be mining his heritage instead of inventing science fiction."

DNF'd

Though the first book really pulled me in at the end, the 2nd was just as boring as the beginning of the 1st.

It was just to slow for my taste.

I may try it again in the near future but i just couldn't get through it as of now.
