So much fun!
This show is a great anthology of animated shorts looking at science fiction in the future. Some of these shorts are beautifully done and so much fun. I really hope they make a 2nd season of this.

Thsi had an array of complex characters. Not only were the main characters deep and layered but the secondary were as well. If you love science fiction and character driven stories this is a must read. Also some of the sex scenes are kinda hot.

While it is obvious to me that Oates is an amazing writer, maybe this shouldn't have been the first of her books for me to read. Find out why in my #bookreview of this novel here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2020/05/15/ghosting-science/

After the success of Science(ish):The Peculiar Science Behind the Movies, Dr Michael Brooks and Rick Edwards return with Hollywood Wants to Kill You: The Peculiar Science of Death in The Movies. Admittedly at first I was a little reluctant, it sounded a bit too geeky for its own good, so I thought I would read a sample and I couldn't stop. This book is absolutely brilliant. Hollywood wanting to kill you is used in loose terms simply as an excuse to discuss extraordinary and utterly fascinating science to you, from plants that learn, to uploading your brain mapping, to the threat of asteroids. There is not one dull moment in this book and you will find yourself discussing awe inducing facts to anyone that will listen.
Not only is it fascinating, but it is also funny and is written and explained in ways that make it accessible no matter complicated the theories inside. I could easily sit and read this book again just so I can absorb even more of the amazing world contained in these pages but I promised to pass it on to my fourteen year old son who is also going to love this book.
A mind blowing adventure of a book delivered in a fun way. I can't rate or recommend this book any higher.

I found this book to be absolutely thrilling. Alex's endeavors to do good were well portrayed. I also got some Matrix feelings from the Science Fiction element. However, I feel like the drug abuse and sex was a bit over done. This book was still very good.

I was given the opportunity to read an ARC for this science fiction novel in exchange for an honest review. If you enjoy reading science fiction novels then you'll love reading Remote.
In this fabulous book there is love, mischief, fantasy and action all rolled into one suspense filled story. In this book, the main heroine was masterfully imagined along with her friends, family and the world she lives in.
Once you pick up this book it will be hard to put down and it will always have you wondering what is next. Remote is the perfect example of an author who knows what she is doing.

Science fiction classic
Contains spoilers, click to show
It's actually not a bad film at first I thought the main cast looked a bit weak for such a big project but they do a pretty good job .the story evolves around an alien race wiped out but a few seeking 2 objects which let them recreate there world ,along the way there a love story lots of action and so many interesting species and ideas ...now the film is very much like all your classic science fish coming together think starwars meets avatar with a bit of startre thrown in ,well worth a watch

Beautifully descriptive (2 more)
Vivid characters
A fantasy world with a mix of its own mythology and steampunk science.
Beautifully written. Poignant, flawed but full of hope and wonder.
I really enjoyed this book. Its different but beautifully written. The characters are flawed but they all have a part to play that makes you want to keep reading. The author created an interesting world of mythology, ancient wondrous, unreachable lost cities. Magic and science co exist in a steampunk like culture, but also highlights the social and personal struggles of the people who live in it. Apathy, addiction, corruption, revolution and hope. Some people say it's slow, just keep reading, its worth it.
