Perhaps burning a canvas portrait is much more conspicuous and suspicious than painting over it, in the privacy of one's own studio.
Is it just me, or is this article misusing the term "science fiction?"
@tudza: He wasn't just "insulting his audience," he was speaking what he believed what was the truth. Authors should not be afraid to speak up about what they believe.
My god, that swath of 1-star Amazon reviews proves him so right. It's some sort of ignorant entitlement mob.
This might be more obscure, but I think Tony Daniel's novel "Metaplanetary" must be mentioned here. It's cloudships are the best ever "sentient space ships that also have bizarre sex with each other" yet.
2d is superior to 3d.
That's a rather narrow narrow and humanocentric view of what makes SF good.
It's looking pretty "WE'RE GONNA NEED BIGGUR GUNS" so far.
I actually bought a copy, and realized I hated it when it was just hipster shit.
I think it deserves it better.
@lucky_you: "In the presentation, it was to fit between a laptop and an iPhone."
But if it's *under* a laptop, why does it cost twice as much as a laptop?
I was actually the writer of that post on LibraryThing. It was funny seeing my exact transcription, with my same comma and hyphenization choices, on io9. The interforoblogosphere is a funny place : P
I would kill to see a SF magazine purely about transhumanist, far-out hard SF, sense-of-wonder stories.
One parent bad, two parents good, THREE parents...better?
@astrocramp: io9 has tons of pure science fact stories as well. You might have noticed them.
@Chuck: At the very end, when Zooey's download into the Cylon body went wrong, I don't think she was damaged: rather, I think she tried to digitally escape herself because she realized her goals (Soldiers of The One) were different than her fathers.
Per capita statistics, please. Otherwise it's kind of pointless.
@Evil Tortie's Mom: R.O.A.C.H.: Typical self-righteous, threatened female response to the fact that, in relationships, they're easily replaced by 2D.
Thinking of getting it just for the Ted Chiang story. Doesn't seem to be in his previous collection...
I remember absolutely loving "The Calorie Man," I'll have to get this too.
A lot of PC nonsense.
