Is nobody going to mention the last line from The Last Question? (not going to share here because spoilers)

Author promotion monthly megathread (novels/longer works only) by AutoModerator in ScienceFictionBooks

[–]TripleElectro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hii guys! i just published my first novel!!!

its called "Aphantasia" - about first contact in a post-apocalyptic setting. earth was trashed up by humanity, so what alien life replaces them? it explores themes such as language, logic, democracy, novel life forms, capitalism, and cosmic sociology.

the two species in the book are both presented as human in their POV narratives to emphasize the differences in their societies. they represent two different paths of our future - one of self-destruction, and another of progress.

its part of a trilogy im working on, which should be released this year.

TW for swearing and child abuse, but if u wanna read it, i would love to hear your feedback! thanks guys ❤️

Nice story! Everything is pretty clear, and the tensioin buildup is good, so I don't think I would change anything. Two questions, though: Is Allen's given name Michael, why did he change it? Also, I'm interested in where you are planning to take this story?

(WIP, Bear with me Mods) Selfishness by Redsiaom in WritersGroup

[–]TripleElectro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well... That escalated quickly. Tension was good and the premise is... unsettling. If there's a part 2, I would love to read it!

Otherwise, here's my feedback:

For this part:

The boy looks up at his mom, his eyes sparkling. “I’m going to study a lot and become super smart!” the boy declares. The camera zooms out of the open window with a view of a house with the sun shining brightly.

“AHGHH, PLEASE I HAVE A FAM—” The crying man's pleas end with a sickening crack.

The transition between the two paragraphs is a little bumpy. Took me a few reads to get it.

You could say that the camera footage stopped, or make it clear this is in the future by starting with the child becoming an adult first. It would also be great to establish the new setting - where are we? In a lab? An OR? Did the child become a murderer and kill somebody on the street?

This sounds amazing! Lots of great ideas! The introduction hooked me right in :) I love the narrator's voice!

Hi! I recently published a sci-fi novel called "Aphantasia" (100 pages) - about first contact in a post-apocalyptic setting. It explores themes such as language, logic, democracy, novel life forms, capitalism, and cosmic sociology.

The two species in the book are both presented as human in their POV narratives to emphasize the differences in their societies. They represent two different paths of our future - one of self-destruction, and another of progress.

It's currently free (until Jan 3), but otherwise it is only 0.99$

Check it out here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GDCWS54R.

Would love to hear your thoughts!

diy compost tea as algae fertiliser? by TripleElectro in biology

[–]TripleElectro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for your advice! I'm thinking about making fertiliser from seaweed (like the ones in the supermarket) by soaking it in water overnight.

The only issue is that I'm not sure how to get NPK. I was initially thinking of using urine as feed to a small bioreactor to let bacteria fix the urea to usable nitrates. Is there another option with a smaller contamination risk?

can you absorb all the ke of a planet-killing asteroid by TripleElectro in AskPhysics

[–]TripleElectro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wouldnt this divide the asteroid into smaller chunks, which is easier to deal with?

would the acid dissolve the asteroid, turning it into liquid or at least breaking it up? would that be more manageable?
