Deep Time by Ian Douglus

Deep Time (Star Carrier #6)Deep Time by Ian Douglas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I'm drawn to Douglas's book series for its unapologetic hardcore science focus. It's devoid of any fantasy elements, as I've gleaned from his other works. The portrayal of aliens as truly alien, without any anthropomorphic traits, is a testament to his dedication to scientific accuracy.

In my view, artificial intelligence doesn't pose a threat to humanity. However, the fundamental drivers of human behavior persist. Social prejudices stemming from class distinctions endure, and conflicts often revolve around resource disputes or misunderstandings.

Douglas's books, including this one, spark our imagination, offering glimpses of what humanity could become through responsible technology utilization. 📚🔬🤖 #ScienceFiction #DouglasSeries #FutureOfHumanity

    I also enjoy sci fi. I looked over your reviews and many of the authors listed are among my favorites as well dating back to the '50s. i did expect to see Arthur Clark listed. One juvenile book of his you would enjoy, I believe. The title is Childhood's End.

    I did read that book and I did see the TV series based on the book. I like science fiction books that deal with hard science. Star Trek it's hard science. Star Wars is science fantasy.

"Movie Review: Dune Part 1 & 2 🎬

  Spoiler Alert! Buckle up for a desert journey like no other! In the vast expanse of cinematic adaptations, Villeneuve's Dune emerges as a monumental undertaking, spanning two epic installments that delve into the rich tapestry of Frank Herbert's iconic sci-fi saga. While paying homage to the source material, these films chart their own course, offering a visually stunning and thematically resonant exploration of power, prophecy, and the human condition. Part 1: Betrayal and Escape The journey begins with Duke Leto Atreides, a nobleman entrusted with the stewardship of Arrakis, a desert planet coveted for its reserves of the spice melange—a substance essential for space travel and coveted by factions across the universe. Accompanied by his son, Paul, and Lady Jessica, a member of the secretive Bene Gesserit sisterhood, Duke Leto embarks on a perilous mission to Arrakis. However, their arrival triggers a chain of events orchestrated by the insidious House Harkonnen and the shad

I had my Math test today...Epilepsy had other plans.

Today, I had my algebraic concept final test and I failed. Of course, my body sabotaged my efforts. This seems to be the norm with everything I do. That is when "everything I do" is extremely important and "the everything I do" maybe a life changer. Passing a math course is a life changer. So let me describe how it went today. Keep this note in mind I studied the entire weekend and the more I study things got more complicated As I wrote many times before, my neurologist and gastroenterologist have repeatedly told me that when my brain acts up my gut will too. When I take any other academic tests I usually don't get sick. I have taken all my meds and then I take life day by day. As I mentioned in previous posts on the internet maybe Facebook or G Plus, I have a few abnormalities in the brain. These abnormalities affect my behavior and my thought processes. It is not that bad but I perceive and understand things a little bit differently and that is why I may

Asimov's Foundation and Philosophy

  The essays in Asimov's Foundation and Philosophy are engaging and thought-provoking, and they offer new insights into one of the most influential science fiction series of all time. Here are some of the key philosophical themes that emerge from the essays: The ethics of manipulation: One of the central questions raised by the Foundation series is whether it is ethical to manipulate large populations of people in order to bring about a desired future result. Hari Seldon, the fictional founder of the Foundation, uses psychohistory, a science that can predict the future of large populations, to plan for the collapse of the Galactic Empire and the subsequent Dark Age. He does this in order to ensure that human civilization survives and eventually rebuilds. However, some people argue that Seldon's manipulation of the future is unethical, even if it is for a good cause. Free will vs. determinism: The Foundation series also raises the question of whether humans have free will or whe
