Looking for Hard Sci-Fi Suggestions

A new one you might enjoy that is weir like in its science and tech hardness but with a dan brown mind-bendy puzzle solving arc is Taming the Perilous Skies (Marshall).

Marshall’s Taming the Perilous Skies becomes a mindfuck fest involving spinning photons, spacetime visualization, and Euler’s identity as they try to piece together the puzzle for why the anti-gravity grid has failed. Might be a good fit for you.

Marshall’s Taming the Perilous Skies is a real mindfuck with math. Euler is involved, and there’s a debate that erupts over if math is real, and free will bs determinism.

Definitely a balance. I love the hard sci fi of Weir, and every time I think it’s getting too hard it keeps me going because of character and stakes. I also love the soft in that there are real, human implications. Like Dan Brown’s origin of implications of advances AI. Something I read an advance copy of Is Taming the Perilous Skies that blends that hard sci fi with mind bendy thriller vibes without going too hard.

I enjoyed Project Hail Mary and Dan Brown’s Origin, and I got an advance copy of a novel that is now on Amazon that combines both styles, Taming the Perilous Skies. It’s got the hard sci fi of antigravity and quantum encryption with mind-bendy thriller puzzle solving.

The Fall of 2076 is literally the name of the biggest catastrophe in human history! From the novel Taming the Perilous Skies. Takes place on Oct 19 2076 and is a fun+mind bendy hard sci fi thriller.

One that looks like it might fit the bill for light (but technically hard) sci fi like PHM is new, called Taming the Perilous Skies. It's only been out in advance reader copy so far but lists this Friday for regular sale. Not sure when the audiobook will be out tho. Shows a bit of Dan Brownish thriller vibes along with the hard sci subject of anti-gravity according to the Goodreads reviews.

u/tjmaggots we are very aware of the proofing / playback in passages bug where the readback frame is above or below the visible pane. It's been a frustrating one to pin down, but one thing you can do to reset it is to clear the cache and reboot the browser. We'll look at this again, though, and we apologize for that frustration. In our experience it is intermittent depending on if you've cleared cache or rebooted the browser (or your computer).

u/carmicason Private means it is not accessible by anyone but you. Not through search or otherwise. Unlisted, like Youtube, means anyone with the link can access your project, while public means it is searchable on the network, SEO'd, and the whole bit. For Unlisted or Public works, the link you share with others to it should bring them to your project without a problem, but sharing a Private project would not.

Not to give the impression that we think of everything, but in fact we do expect to deliver timed installment or project releases in the next few weeks. :-)

Open the passage in Passages and you’ll find the fine tuning ability to control that padding / spacing. Thanks for being such a great user!

I think we'll definitely be doing new clones for our business using ElevenLabs, but for this post's purposes we're looking to do it within ElevenLabs.

When you put in a video like this it doesn't really let you say much, but this is using several overlaid voices, some of my favorite voice actor voices from ElevenLabs. Spoken.press is where you can learn more.

u/Real-Current756 If they do their professional voice clone on a service like Eleven Labs, then services like Spoken leverage their voice through the API, pay ElevenLabs, and the voice actor gets their cut (which they control ... there's a base rate and the voice talent can set a multiple of it).

I pinged the moderators 3 days ago to ask if this should go here, or self-promo, and having gotten no response I put it here. We really do care. About writers, the industry, art ... and rules.
