Season 6 of #BlackMirror: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/42009-black-mirror/season/6
The first episode is really outstandingly good and everyone should have seen it. The topic of #privacy and abuse of #AI is made clear quite well and then there is a successful plot twist at the end. I will certainly post something separate about the episode "
Joan is Awful" in my timeline.
Really lousy is episode 3 called "Beyond the Sea". But at least it's still science fiction, even if it has a serious logic flaw. Two astronauts, on their years-long flight in space, are able to repeatedly plug into two artificial bodies that look like them and live with their families on Earth. If this technology exists, why don't the astronauts stay on Earth and connect with artificial bodies in the spaceship?
All other episodes are from the genre horror and have nothing to do with science fiction. The episodes are not bad but "Black Mirror" does not stand for horror in my opinion.

BEMs

They call them BEMs, bug-eyed monsters because eyes are the windows to the soul and they are the most religious reverent beings in the galaxy. Doing Gods work as they see it and is flaunted by human blasphemy they cannot and will not tolerate. We see ourselves reflected in their black iridescent orbs, their gelatinous skins and feel the shame for what we have done to the Earth in the name of progress, mastery, pride, and profit. We are frozen by the depth of those eyes and know this is best. For the Earth, we the infection will be removed.

I'm still on this weid podcast/show: The Shuttlepod Show
And it's still fun. They had: Nana Visitor, Cirroc Lofton, Walter Koenig, Denise Crosby, Tim Russ, Nicole De Boer and ah so many more already in front of the microphone....
This time it's obviously time again for a special guest, Armin Shimerman.
[...]"Along with Patrick Stewart, Marina Sirtis, Jonathan Frakes, and John de Lancie, he is one of only a few actors to play the same character on four or more different Star Trek series."[...]
So ... have fun with:

20 best Science fiction books … Per somebody
Finished A Psalm for the Wild-Built last night
It was quite good…the use of they/them pronouns sort of overwhelmed me a bit, but the use was consistent and persistent and I almost got used to it by the end of this very short book.
It examines many issues, consciousness, cognition, environment and more but it left me with no answer to how it was the robots became sentient or how it was ‘passed’ to ‘new robots.’ Perhaps those will be answered in the second book of the series but I doubt it based on the story/plot/etc.

Les #RéseauxSociaux manipulent-ils notre réalité ? Créent-ils pour notre corps et notre esprit une #illusion du #réel nous impactant jusque dans notre chair ? D’ailleurs où s'arrête le #virtuel et où commence le réel ? Les réseaux sont-ils devenus la #nouvelle #religion que nous prions chaque soir avant de nous endormir ? Voici bon nombre de questions particulièrement intrigantes conditionnant, pourtant, plus que jamais nos vies. Des vies segmentées, fragmentées au travers différents #écrans et #applications, TikTok, Instagram, Facebaook, Youtube etc... faisant coexister des versions différentes de nous même. Mais quelle est notre véritable emprise face à tout ceci. Sommes nous des #utilisateurs ou bien des #utilisés ? Et bien pour tenter de répondre à ces questions complexes, nous allons nous reposer sur un chef d'œuvre de la #ScienceFiction : #Videodrome de #DavidCronenberg. Un #film profondément #philosophique et surtout terriblement #prophétique ce bien avant un certain #Matrix, dont il est, nous le verrons le pendant inverse.

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory provides the science inside #UK defence and security and creates generation after next technology.
It is vital in this endeavour to look beyond the horizon at the threats and opportunities that various #futures may present.
The world-class teams at Dstl work with the top minds from across military, academia, industry … and now science fiction.
The writers of this genre have been years ahead of their time in predicting the modern world around us from the internet and mobile phones to the electric submarine and driverless cars.
