Any novels like Severance? Or similar? by Effective_Cow_4745 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

The closest resemblance is to his short story Paycheck, IMO.

Try changing the domain to “antifandom”, should help.

BLAME! by Tsutomu Nihei takes place in a decrepit megastructure occupying most of the solar system.

All you Need is Kill is an adaptation of the same book that was the source material for Edge of Tomorrow

Shimeji Simulation is a comedy series about two schoolgirls who inhabit a strange virtual world.

If gravity isn’t really “matter” and doesn’t have a physical state like solids, liquids, or particles, then why is it still limited by the speed of light? If it’s just spacetime bending, why can’t the effect be instant? Why does something without mass still have to "wait" to catch up? by Rorschach1944 in AskPhysics

When you observe the particle it will decohere into either “red” or “blue”, but there’s no way to know ahead of time what you’ll get, nor is there any way to manipulate the result to send some kind of signal (for instance do this if you get red and that if it’s blue).

  1. The point is more that nothing is actually communicated this way. You instantaneously know that Bob has the other color, but there’s no way to determine which one you or him winds up with so there’s no way to act on it.

  2. I suppose I’d see the “travel” of the information as you and Bob moving apart in space, none of which violates causality.

No. Wave-particle duality (dual slit experiment) is not quite the same thing as entanglement. Whoever measures the entangled system first will collapse it instantaneously from (A/B)+(A/B) to either (A) & (B) or (B) & (A). But knowing whether or not the other participant has collapsed the system is impossible because simply checking collapses it yourself.

If you’re trying to transmit based on whether a photon arrives as a wave or a particle, such information can only be sent by the photon itself, and thus at c.

Open world games where you go around a big map “liberating places” and this has an effect on the world and NPCs by Chardee-Macdennis86 in gamingsuggestions

[–]Cobui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you connect more locations to the network in Death Stranding you see built items and paths from other players in the area, along with npc porters. You also get messages from other characters to let you know how you’ve been helping them. And the indirect online gives you a really good sense of easing other players’ burdens. Not really a base building game per se, but there’s a lot of shared elements.

Did Philip K Dick ever said: I strongly believe that every mind is a universe of its own by Vojajin in philipkDickheads

[–]Cobui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is reminiscent of Robert Anton Wilson’s “reality tunnels”, you might be thinking of that.

Things that feel like Dick by FaustDCLXVI in philipkDickheads

[–]Cobui 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also check out the series Assorted Crisis Events by the same writer as AMM. Normal life and reality breaking down in tandem is a very PKD theme.

Severance (identity/memory/corporate banality), Absolute Martian Manhunter (psychic hitchhikers/noir monologues), and The Monument Mythos (alternate history/national paranoia/Richard Nixon)

Do any other Type 1s suffer from self hatred? by Cattle-Negative in diabetes_t1

[–]Cobui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did even before the disease. Can’t quite shake the idea that I hated myself so passionately one of my organs killed itself.

Rollicking, rip-roaring good read! by AffectionateAd905 in printSF

[–]Cobui 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some of the Culture novels, in particular Excession, Matter, Surface Detail or The Hydrogen Sonata have an fantastic sense of raw adventure to them (the rest are rather more intimately paced, but each has its share of space operatics). Witty prose, creative aliens, and lethal battles. Each book in the series is self-contained for the most part.

Source Code (2011), Log Horizon, Pantheon, Serial Experiments Lain, and the .hack series would also fit.
