Acrylic on Illustration Board - 28" x 38"
Being suspended in space, floating unencumbered yet in control of one's flight, is as close to pure freedom as I can imagine. 1/4

One Back to the Future fan theory, the "Marty Martyr" theory, is so dark that Doc Brown himself, Christopher Lloyd, had to set the record straight.

SYFY · The Darkest Back to the Future Fan Theory (and How Christopher Lloyd Responded)
Big questions need big dreamers. Accessibility makes accountability. Kids need thoughtful scifi now.

Let's talk scifi maturity models. Would you believe that it's possible to grow scifi as a genre and community? Let's talk about how.
@Ratchman The Void; S01E02 Who the Hell is Buck Rogers?
The title sets the tone for this work--and it does not have anything to do with Buck Rogers. It is a description of a day in the life of a man brought out of a 2,000 year stasis, from the present time it would seem.

Oh so that's what happened to Atlantis? A volcano erupted and it shot all the Atlanteans out into the sky? Because of this young woman and her nun friend?

But since I've been writing #solarpunk, it's the clearest rebuttal to this history of fashy SF.

I've finished: Rakesfall by Vajra Chandrasekera
Rakesfall is a work of art, it requires experience in order to appreciate it. This is not a novel I will gift to friends that are not deep into Sci-Fi.
I was able to grasp that I was looking at something beautiful, but I needed the final chapter to understand much of what Vajra Chandrasekera was aiming at.
Rakesfall proposes a cosmology that integrates mythology and technology. It involves possession, gods, demons, time travel and a multiverse, and it takes us all the way from colonial history to the heat death of the universe.
Yet, it is very much a novel of our time, of the powerful, the greedy and corrupt who wish to attain godhood and those who will oppose them.

One of my favorite, indie, #scifi short films!
'Who Among Us' is set in a near-future in which a Japanese game show has contestants from across the globe try to determine who among them is an android.
The twist: the android believes it is human.
The prize? $500 million
Watch this fascinating short film with interesting commentary on the human condition:
Astounding vol. 42, no. 6 (February 1949)
Yeah no idea what's going on here, it's all a little mad. What are those three disks? Are those space-text-messages supposed to be literal, as in, he can see them floating in space? Or less literal, like he can hear them or see them on a console but they're reproduced for us?
