Infinity Gate (Pandominion, #1)Infinity Gate by M.R. Carey
My rating: 3 of 5 stars



Infinity Gate by M.R. Carey is a hard sci-fi novel that explores the multiverse and the implications of AI technology. It is a long read, but it is well worth it for fans of the genre.

One of the things that makes Infinity Gate so compelling is its hard science premise. Carey has done his research, and the book is full of scientifically plausible ideas about the multiverse, AI, and interstellar travel.

Another thing that sets Infinity Gate apart is its diverse cast of characters. The story follows characters from different worlds and dimensions, including humans, cat people, and hedgehog people. This gives the reader a unique perspective on the multiverse and the conflict between humanity and AI.

In addition to its strong science and characters, Infinity Gate also explores some complex philosophical and ethical issues, such as the nature of consciousness, the relationship between humans and machines, and the meaning of free will. This makes the book even more thought-provoking and engaging.

If you are a fan of hard sci-fi, then I highly recommend Infinity Gate. It is a well-written and thought-provoking novel with a diverse cast of characters and a scientifically plausible premise.

Here are some specific things that hard sci-fi fans will appreciate about Infinity Gate:

The hard science premise

The exploration of complex philosophical and ethical issues
The realistic depiction of interstellar travel
The attention to detail in the world-building

Overall, Infinity Gate is an excellent hard sci-fi novel that is sure to please fans of the genre.

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.

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.

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
