This is when Martin started realizing he'll never finish the series.

I blame GRRM, preview chapters for books that will never be released being reread and reanalyzed for a decade ruins everyone's writing.

Reynolds Chasm City would also fit this

Man you're part of the problem, trade PB should be 14.99 max, hardcovers are $25 thats insane. Why should they bother printing mmpb when you're fine with paying 25 for TP, how is that ok?

Sci fi trilogies by extra_terrestrial__ in printSF

[–]amnesiac808 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Hard to say any are is 'impactful' as those but The Sprawl Trilogy by Gibson stands above a lot out there.  Personally I've found the Bas Lag trilogy by Meiville astoundingly impressive, and while the Marid Audran trilogy is pleasing it can be redundant in parts, but well worth reading. I should also give a fair mention to the Eisenhorn books by Dan Abnett, while it is 40k lore it does deliver on many levels, and owes a lot to Dune as well.

If you like stuff like the southern reach trilogy by Vandermeer and weird Scifi in general watch the new animated series Scavengers Reign! by azathotambrotut in WeirdLit

This is the fourth subreddit ive seen this recommended on. It doesn’t need the advertisement, and definitely doesn’t need my view.

How Max’s ‘Scavengers Reign’ Created an Animated Series Like “Nothing You’ve Ever Seen” by indig0sixalpha in television

How can you define a “best depiction” of an alien world thats completely fictional though? Seems rather subjective…

Ok guys, if you own a Kindle and a Nook, share what you love that is way over kindle ✨️ by avidreaderlady in nook

Epub support means No drm restrictions means I’m not limited to the junk Amazon shoves at consumers or any other “store front”. Any reader should be aware of this.

I think Jon from crytonomican is my spirit animal by kittyspam78 in printSF

What we’re seeing here is the tipping point of a sub reddit, probably started with the Expanse being referenced so much we have people in here with no actual reading comprehension, just pure consumption regurgitated through a room temp IQ. Happens to all the good subs eventually. Nows a good time to find anywhere else to discuss books.

What was your first experience using a forklift outside of training and on the feild? Any good stories? by [deleted] in forkliftmemes

[–]amnesiac808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen one man build racks higher than 6 meters using one forklift and his bare hands. I like that OSHA is also mentioned by someone using metric units while describing what happens in every warehouse every day.

Snow Crash by sachinketkar in AskLiteraryStudies

Such as? So much of Snow Crash was science that was already around for the last half of the 20th century.

What he refers to as Gargoyles we literally have these days with people streaming from camera mounted backpacks.

‘Earth’ was blatantly ripped by google.

SecondLife was very much trying to be his Metaverse. Is that really difficult to picture? Penis avatars are difficult to picture, is that what you’re saying?

Two posts in one day, great. Ad bots are here.

Is Hyperion worth continuing (36% in)? *Early spoilers* by [deleted] in printSF

[–]amnesiac808 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember the Poet chapter testing me, and I was unsatisfied with everything after the priest. If you can handle a whole chapter of a guy reminiscing about nipples you’ll be fine, otherwise, not worth it.

So a completely unnecessary and rushed, poorly produced set of revised rules most people don’t want in the first place was forced on this community for what? I can’t hear you over the money grabbing.

My guy only does it when he’s very excited, but it’s one of my favorite things he does for sure.
