The Chinese #government has long banned the depiction of #LGBTQ+ relationships in movies and TV shows in restrictions that are part of broader media censorship policies enforced by regulatory bodies within the country.
The #game of the #series comes from China, so the world is allowed to see romance but not China 🤔

Memorable sci-fi space book series
What are your cherished reading series in the science fiction genre where the story unfold in space?
These are my top pick of the moment:
Imperial Radch (trilogy) – by Ann Leckie
Consists of the books; Ancillary Justice, Ancillary Sword and Ancillary Mercy.
Brilliant original story and world setting, densely packed with lots of twists and turns. Bonus for the best and most unique character ever; Presger’s Translator Zeiat (who initially believed is was Translator Dlique, but Dlique had died, ahem an understandable confusion…!)
goodreads.com/book/show/622356…
The Expanse – by James S.A. Corey
Consists of the books; Leviathan Wakes, Caliban’s War, Abaddon’s Gate, Cibola Burn, Nemesis Games, Babylon’s Ashes, Persepolis Rising, Tiamat’s Wrath and Leviathan Falls.
Entertaining and catching story, interesting world building set fairly realistic in our solar system. The protomolecule became the character that made the story, its intrigues and mystery so enjoyable.

Remembrance of Earth’s Past (trilogy) – by Cixin Liu
Consists of the books; The Three-Body Problem, The Dark Forest and Death’s End.
This one didn’t hold back. First contact story that serve as a warning. The setting unfolds nicely, it expands a lot and take you places you did not imagine your mind would go. Great original story.
The dark forest hypothesis will give you lots to think about, as such, it serve as a great “character” in this saga.

Bonus mention:
I did enjoy The Murderbot Diaries – by Martha Wells
Funny and original. a self-hacked cyborg-like construct SecUnit stuck with an introvert personality, makes for many funny, odd and awkward yet kick-ass situations.

"What does it mean to love the land? For acclaimed Kanaka Maoli poet and activist Jamaica Heolimeleikalani Osorio, this love is held in aloha ‘āina, a Hawaiian concept that teaches if we are connected to one another, it is only because we are connected to the land which nourishes us both. Laying bare the remaking of Hawai‘i from a place where people and land have lived in kinship for thousands of years to a place colonized with projections of pleasure and profit, Jamaica summons the true spirit of aloha. At the forefront of the fight to prevent a thirty-meter telescope from being constructed at the summit of Mauna Kea—the most sacred mountain in Hawai‘i—she speaks verses that command love and responsibility for any land that has fed and held us."

Masterpiece Theater ~ ENDEAVOUR. Shaun Evans
I’ve been watching this wonderful series. I’m late to the party, but I’m glad it’s still available.
Shaun Evans in his role as Endeavor Morse has reminded me of you, Christoph. The serious, analytical aspect of your personality of course. The figuring out of problems and mysteries, and other things.
Who created Endeavour?
Russell Lewis (born 11 September 1963) is an English television writer and former actor. He created and wrote the Inspector Morse prequel Endeavour, all 36 episodes. (2012–2023).

Soon after he signed the contract, Mr. Rinsch’s behavior grew erratic, according to members of the show’s cast and crew, texts and emails reviewed by The New York Times, and court filings in a divorce case brought by his wife. He claimed to have discovered #Covid-19’s secret transmission mechanism and to be able to predict lightning strikes. He gambled a large chunk of the money from Netflix on the stock market and cryptocurrencies. He spent millions of dollars on a fleet of Rolls-Royces, furniture and designer clothing.
Mr. #Rinsch and Netflix are now locked in a confidential arbitration proceeding initiated by Mr. Rinsch, who claims the company breached their contract and owes him at least $14 million in damages. Netflix has denied owing Mr. Rinsch anything and has called his demands a shakedown.

Initially, the first half of the first episode starts like a teeny high school drama. You have to sit through it if you don't want to see something like that, because in the end it's all about the big world conspiracy.
The ethical questions that are addressed include:
1) Can poor people be abused as experimental subjects?
2) If you can only upload a brain to the cloud by destroying it, should you do so anyway?
3) What rights does a human #consciousness have in the cloud that can simply be reset or switched off?
4) If an AI escapes from a protected cloud to the internet, what should you do?
5) Can you copy a human consciousness, dissect it and then ultimately only use the parts you need to solve the problem?
6) Can consciousness in the cloud still be considered human?
7) Should we do everything that is technologically possible or should we be aware of the ethical problems before doing so?
8) ...
I find the series highly topical because ultimately the tech billionaires in #SiliconValley are dreaming of this opportunity and are researching it in order to become immortal. Elon #Musk's company #Neuralink is working on #brain implants that will make it possible to upload in the #future.
