An alternate take on SkyNet’s rise to awareness?

It took a lot of booster rockets, but luckily Amazon had recently built thousands of them to bring Amazon Prime same-day delivery to the Moon colony.

Metatropolis – great read!

Sun ,04/10/2015

Finished the John Scalzi-edited anthology Metatroplis a few days ago. This is an anthology he started by asking the writers to collaborate around a common theme – the future of cities and the dystopian, unusual or unpredictable forms they may take in the coming decades.

This is a great read – all good stories but to me the jewel (acknowledged by editor Scalzi directly in the comments before it) is the final story – ‘To Hie from Far Cilenia‘ by Karl Schroeder– it takes cyberpunk and effectively ‘overlays’ it on the real world we live in – truly an innovative story and i’d be surprised if elements of it aren’t already happening….I will definitely have to seek out some of that guy’s writing!

Anyway, definitely recommended!

Not bad….

Thu ,10/09/2015

A bit weak on plot, some quibbles with the firepower of the relative ships, and the closeups of the basestars look a bit too ‘Lego-y’ but otherwise not bad…. He really likes the ‘flip over flyby’ too – a bit overused, nearly every ship does one at some point or another in the video…stupid robots, you messed with the WRONG starships! Although truth be told, I bet the Defiant could take a couple base stars on its own… 🙂
