Neal Stephenson sci.fi. about digital life-after-death in a virtual analogue of the real world populated by animated connectomes that faithfully map all a live brain’s neuronal connections. But even in a virtual world with a virtual brain, the thread of consciousness can be severed.
Fine Neal Stephenson and Nicole Galland collaboration. Starts by positing a scientific basis for witchcraft and time travel and goesn on from there.
Annalee Newitz sci.fi. thriller that focuses too much on rogue drug dealers and robot interest in human sexuality.
An adult science fiction movie that delivers the best alien arrival story since Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I just re-watched this amazing film and it was better yet on a second viewing. I’ve upped my rating
Smart science fiction comedy that entertained while delivering much the same fare as prior MIBs. Tessa Thompson was great as the first (Woman in Black). Family fun.
Charles Stross’s sci.fi. that skips to the far future after the singularity. Not about the singularity at all, but about technological shock waves and people’s inability to imagine consequences they’re unfamiliar with.
Interesting take on the transformation of society based on a successful daemon, not even the true singularity.
Very good sci.fi. novel of earth’s invasion where the aliens attempt to conquer us from the inside out.
Terrible excuse for a science fiction movie, getting all the science and all of the fiction wrong. A manned mission to the event horizon of a black hole??? Enough said.
