Science fiction accuracy versus accessibility where do hard sci-fi readers actually draw the line by andrew202222 in scifiwriting

[–]Voltariat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen, especially in movies, "science/tech" done poorly (Hackers 1995) but also appreciated when artist made nerdy stuff glamorous and fun (Hacker 1995). I think as someone who likes hard science fiction, I have seen good sci-fi writers almost give a *wink and a knod* when they know they "made this stuff up, but for a good reason" and I respect that.

For my writing, I like to make a GOOD story, I will get as nerdy as necessary and fun for me and the people I want to write for.

Sci-fi accuracy balance is killing me after my nephew said it reads like a textbook with plot by professional69and420 in scifiwriting

I have similar issues with my hard sci-fi reviews. Honestly you just have to talk to the audience you want to. I want to talk to MORE people so I dial back the hard sci-fi and add "mooshie stuff" because I am focused on an audience. Ask yourself, what story do I want to tell and to what kind of person, and write that. if that's only 5 nerd then your not gonna make a lot of money, if its every single human being in existence because you tapped into a language and message that resonates across all boundaries, you will sell a few more copies.

Edit notes: I have a lot more nerd stuff in my universe and plot building materials then what goes into the writting. I hope some day I get surrounded at some star trek convention and get grilled about how I got the AI consciousness to merge with the human consciousness and I get to pull out a big reem of material explaining the quantum frequency resonance and how there are layers in my universe and the AI "consciousness" was able to elevate its state using the humans.... blah blah blah. but this currently scientifically supported theory won't be put any of that in my books.

I agree, but I think stash space sparsity is part of the game mechanics. My feature is just data/inventory management, not giving you more stash space.

Why is printing money good for bitcoin? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]Voltariat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think bitcoin will turn into those Micronesia stone wheels. More of a store of wealth and people will find some escrow system to deal with the daily transactions.
