Yeah, I do agree. Best book SF universe by far. I remember feeling that Cosmicism when I read those books for the first time. And true to Cosmicism, there can be small victories, but in the end, you're still fucked (greenfly). Although... the ending to Absolution Gap was... severely disappointing.
I think Reynolds' books are part of the reason I was drawn to the Mass Effect universe in the first place. They have so much in common.
But I do think that Mass Effect is the greatest non-book SF universe of my generation. (I was born in 1984, so Trek and SW don't count. Just throwing that out there, 'cause someone's bound to bring it up.)
BTW, does Reynolds ever plan to tie up the loose ends in the Revelation Space universe? We seriously never find out about the Madame. Plus, all those other mysteries you mention. Also, I want to know if humanity-- or any other sentient race-- ever manages to stop the greenfly.
My god, why do Trekkies have to get so butthurt over everything?
Shepard will light our darkest hour.
Hmmm... yeah, dude. I'm a geek girl, and I wouldn't date your ass even if someone paid me a fuckton of money. Congratulations-- you're one of the reasons why male nerds will be Forever Alone when it comes to nerdy female companions. Feel proud, man. Feel very proud.
No "Quantum Thief?" :(
While I'm not against psychological research, there's a ton of stuff out there that's just garbage pseudoscience. Take, for example, the Strauss-Howe Generational Theory: [en.wikipedia.org] Pure steaming piles of shit. This article just sounds like more of the same old non-falsifiable bullshit.
Maybe they're just in a hurry.
I'm not gonna lie-- that guy has a nice ass.
Yeah, scifi quotes are basically my atheist version of quoting the Bible. That and Carl Sagan. I fuckin' love quoting Carl Sagan.
I am disappointed that "Do or do not" did not make the list. :(
No, but there was a prophecy that said in the distant future, the dominant language on Earth would be English. Therefore, The acronym became G.O.D.
...see how easy this is to rationalize? :D

I love William Gibson, but I distrust him ever since he wrote "Spook Country."
Fuck Heinlein. Where's my movie adaptation of "The Forever War?"
I blame science fiction tv shows, where EVERYONE speaks English.
If you weren't already starred, I'd star you so many times for this.
"I could not help feeling that they were evil things -- mountains of madness whose farther slopes looked out over some accursed ultimate abyss."
HOLY MOTHER OF-- actually, it's kind of cute.
From your review of this show, I don't know if I want to watch and lol at it or stay far, far away from it. xD
Anyhow, this article needs an editor. There are so many grammar mistakes in it. :'(
