Unless the planet has exactly zero axial tilt, the...hmmmm. Now wait a sec. Even if the planet had a pronounced axial tilt, the orbit is so rapid that the "seasons" would happen far too fast for any actual changes in atmospheric heating to matter. The rapid orbit would likely offset the thermal differences and a…

Organic humans with never leave this Solar System. However, I *do* support efforts at seedship "collinators" like the one in Greg Bear's Hull Zero One which will visit these habitable worlds and bioneer organic humans colonists to populate them. After all, EVERYone should know these days that multiple, redundant,…

The Onion's coverage was much better.

OK, so first things first: we get me uploaded. I'll just chill in a virtual recreation of the early 1900s, and send out a shit-tonne of nanoassemblers to Venus, Mars, Mercury, and the Belt, which will begin scavenging for materials, collecting them, and making them into parts for my new "body"—which will measure…

Definitely something I'll read, but you've gotta work harder than that to out-bleak The Road.

I absolutely refuse to accept any of these goofy myths in REAL science-fiction. Even the New Space Opera is at least scientifically accurate enough to not put me off.

Picture #8: Posthumans with big-ass hardons monitoring an embodied alife construct taking its first physical steps on Mars.

There *is* a universal, Earth-Standard language: English. It may have originally just been a dialect of German, but the English language has absorbed so many elements and so many words from *other* languages, it's technically become a sort-of hideously complex, but incredibly detailed and rich, *metalanguage* that can…

Vangelis = the only god I can believe in.

DOPE.

Google/GPS-driven robot trucks. Problem solved.

Dagon?!

Though pretty, this made exactly ZERO sense.

No one will likely ever be able to "unthaw" a cryopreserved brain just to wake the person up and/or transfer their brain into a cloned younger body—but I see no reason that destructive scanning of the frozen brain to map its connectome shouldn't be possible. The relevant question here is not whether or not it's…

That is EXACTLY what I am promoting! Snotty little twats with their "entitlement mentality" and ridiculously short-sighted hedonism....The so-called "Millennials" NEED a little bloodsport to teach them the true nature of violence and the fragility of life.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let this be an actual reality show and hot some scripted fiction bullshit!

Idaknow...looks like more of your standard "love transcends all time"/reincarnation horseshit. Plus, after the last two Matrix films, I'll be damned if I ever trust those wankers to produce ANYthing with symbolism and supposed "great meaning" again.

Shorter version of "What is the Rapture?"

COULD BE a step toward biocybernetic life?! What the hell do you think it ALREADY IS?!
