70s Sci-Fi Art
My favorite 1972 Rod Ruth art from Tom McGowen's 'Album of Dinosaurs.' Love the earthy 70s-era colors.

The Soul (緝魂) (2021) is a bleak near-future sci-fi-ish mystery.
In the year 2031, the CEO of a Taiwanese biomedical corporation is found bludgeoned to death in his bedroom, with an occult symbol carved into the door. The obvious culprit is the estranged son, upset that dad had something to do with mom's death.
The prosecutor Wen-chao is not so sure. Wen-chao suspects the CEO's second wife, who seems harmless but might be possessed by the vengeful spirit of the first wife.…

#Blakes7 Series C, Episode 12 - Death-Watch
DEETA: So, you have an answer for the Summons to Justification. Like what? Surely not a Blood Feud? [rises to face her] I can't have killed someone who's close kin to both of you. Particularly not as your friend here is a citizen of the Vandor Confederacy. As I assume you are. [drops a metal ID card at her feet]
KARLA: [Picks it …

“I fall in the baffled camp that thinks better designs are possible.” … “I don’t expect my calls to be heard. Selling sci-fi is way too effective. And as long as the AI is perceived as the engine of a new industrial revolution, decision-makers will imagine it can do so, and task people to make it so.”

I found this a nice and interesting video essay about the Dark Forest hypothesis in sci-fi literature:

I usually don't dare clicking on new recommended channels on Youtube because I don't know if that's some crap…

I saw a recommendation from Robin Hobb about the first book of the Murderbot series by @… yesterday and since I was between books I jumped right in.
Having read the first one I am excited to keep going. Funniest sci-fi I've read in years.

“…you could find very small compositions within comic books that seemed massive and complete when isolated, and that proved that 4CP printing created accidental masterpieces all over the place” Via https://70sscifiart.tumblr.com/post/782988657104764928

70s Sci-Fi Art
4cp: “4cp: “” Forever one of my favorite comic book details. This was a very early “proof of concept” of my scanning/cropping approach - the idea that that you could find very small compositions...

We've been pacing ourselves watching #blackmirror because there is only so much bleak dystopian sci-fi we can absorb in one go. Last night's episode was "Hotel Reverie" which was actually semi-uplifting in the end. Combined with the happy-ish ending of "Bête Noir" we might even get to the end of the season not totally depressed about the future of humanity.

Okay, hopefully Kojima San can convince you :) #TheEternaut #ElEternauta

We need a sci-fi series like Star Trek TNG, but instead of Data being super logical as were the computers of that era, our updated Data is an LLM and Starfleet foists these on starship commanders because, 52% of the time, they are brilliant.
