the tv show has over one hundred times the audience of the comic book. if somebody brought up brokeback mountain, it'd be dumb as hell to assume they're talking about the short story

how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?
I just read Fluency and the sequel (both parts of the Confluence series) and it made me realize that a trope I've noticed in recent scifi is This Character Is A Genius With Languages And Has Even Been Able To Translate Uncontacted Tribes so they can smooth over the whole first contact problem

shit wizard dad

just finished a first read of "Against a Dark Background', it's nice to have that Banks vibe but without having to rely on godlike AI to move the plots along. Felt remarkably picaresque like some homage to Vance in places, which is no bad thing. Little bit of a Stephenson Halt! at the finish, but I found an unpublished epilogue that at least gave a bit of wind-down, even if it didn't add much to the story.

well if root's last little speech was right, she (and everyone else) is basically already in there. she was basically saying that the machine had to recreate everyone in order to understand them, so everyone in the world already lives forever as patterns and simulations in the machine.

well yeah but i guess it all comes down to like cultural differences because i guess what he did was kinda not a good thing by their standards but we dont even really have a cultural benchmark in our own since its not something we can do but on a personal level id just say yeah man thats perfectly fine what you did but you still might be a bit bonkers
